Each day a new minimal geometric composition

rentzsch: My Mother Tries an iPhone → rentzsch.tumblr.com

These have been some of my most longterm irks about the iOS platform, and the lack of innovation thereof. Specifically the homescreen, and its array of static icons - The lack of information output here (it doesnt have to be much, just some) and the almost waste of space in favor of an icons on desktop paradigm are not just dated, but harking back to the early PC era of old.

We’re on the 6th major revision of this system now, and the only update we’ve had to the homescreen has been folders. If only Apple bothered to innovate their software at the pace of their hardware.

maniacalrage:

Some excellent usability/user experience issues listed here, along with solid suggestions for future changes. One of my favorite bits, which I’ve thought about several times:

She mentioned the Clock is wrong. She thought it odd since the other, textual clocks were correct (the first on the Slide to Unlock screen and the uppermost status bar clock). The Calendar app’s date is correct, so she has no reason to believe that the Clock’s icon just happens to be static. I never noticed this inconsistency myself. […] In the same vein, she noted the Weather app must be showing the inside temperature (72°) since it’s currently in the mid-30°s outside when she was looking at it.

Also:

I told her to press the Mail icon. Again she got snagged by her deliberate movements, and accidentally triggered wiggle (icon rearrangement) mode. Apps wouldn’t launch and she didn’t know how to fix it. Suggestion: wiggle mode is such a bad idea. Better to have a dedicated app to arrange Springboard pages/groups.

From personal experience watching my family members (and wife) use iOS, I’d also recommend Apple add a “keep App Store apps updated automatically” setting. When I look at my sister’s phone and see a badge with 155 on Settings.app, I have to imagine she’s probably running into issues because she has (sometimes grossly) outdated versions but she just assumes there’s something wrong with the app itself.

“We buy stuff to cheer ourselves up, to keep up with the Joneses, to fulfill our childhood vision of what our adulthood would be like, to broadcast our status to the world, and for a lot of other psychological reasons that have very little to do with how useful the product really is. How much stuff is in your basement or garage that you haven’t used in the past year?” —

This is a very fine examination of our culture or work and consumerism. As with all great work, it will make you very uncomfortable. At least it should.

Lukas Mathis on iTunes 11 → ignorethecode.net

Lukas nails the usability issues with iTunes 11 - i’ve been running into the exact same things using the software, assuming I was just used to the old sidebar paradigm. It’s the inconsistencies with the way the new elements are implemented that is making things difficult. 

I do applaud the new store layout however.

“

A lot of agencies want to appear to be cool, relevant, and exciting. Agencies in Minneapolis will get video games, pool tables, kitchens, etc. They also expect you to live there. When we work here, we work hard, but the atmosphere is light. Normally we are able to leave before 6pm every day as well. Working is not too glamorous and on a visual and surface level is very boring most of the time.

What I try to encourage is creativity and hard work. Being creative takes work and intent. You have to apply yourself to really push your personal boundaries or you just do the same things over and over. I think it is pretty obvious that what we do is effective if you look at the amount and the quality of work we produce.

The Story of the New Microsoft.com — Rainypixels → rainypixels.com

Great writeup of the complete redesign of Microsoft.com - the 30th most visited website in the world (ahead of tumblr, ebay… etc).

Fascinating to note that the website was designed not by incremental ‘metric approved’ upgrades but by designer ‘gut feeling’, and has since been met with almost universal approval.
