Altough it escaped all the buzz Matt makes a point of pointing out how Apple succesfully redesigned a tool that has been bugging households for a long time; the remote. A streamlined remote from Apple
This ugly little bugger is soon to be introduced in Europe:
Featuring a 250 horsepower engine (in a 600kg car!), on board internet, freakish color coordination, steering wheel gear changing (F1 style) and a plastic frame. I love it already!
I don’t get it but it sounds pretty cool: information aesthetics: aesthetiscope
..::UX.Evolutions::.. - Z blog: the new windows Vista system fonts are available for download on this blog. They look rather pretty actually.
besides from the contest this is looking to be a great beginners tool for making and distributing video content.
Just finished another round of RSS feed cleaning. This time round i simply threw out all the blogs that only offer partial content like headlines or excerpts. Those just waste my time. My newsreader use has totally changed the way i read weblogs since i hardly ever look at the actual webpages anymore. Mobile web users will choose their own interface too. For weblogs, the interface that you offer might not matter much longer.
Funny thing is that i don’t write my weblog entries on the web either, i use ecto. A sign of things to come where microformats and web 2.0 make browsers obsolete and the application designer the new web designer?
The Color Scheme Generator 2 is yet another color picker only this time round it has about every option you would ever want (color blindness controls anyone?). It also adds a function that i have been missing in other color pickers, namely the option to save the URL of the scheme you came up with. (thnx to maarten)
Good Experience - The Page Paradigm. Interesante stelling. Alleen gok ik dat hij alleen stand houdt bij shopping sites waar bezoekers ook daadwerkelijk een duidelijk omlijnt doel hebben. Hoe weet je op een puur informatieve site welke pagina je bezoekers waarschijnlijk graag als volgende zouden willen bekijken?
