Breaking Windows
Talking of Windows being shit, every time I see this advert on TV I can’t help but marvel at the jerky window movement as this guy drags his windows to the edges of the screen.
a) Why is Microsoft still incapable of making an OS where window dragging happens at more than 3 frames per second?
b) Why did the ad agency that made this shitfest not simply animate the window dragging sequence to try to hide the lag?
iTunes UIWTF
With every release the iTunes UI seems to get worse. This morning I attempted the seemingly simple task of copying a video from my Mac to my iPhone. Firstly, I need to drag the video to iTunes which then creates a duplicate copy of the video on my hard drive for no apparent reason. The video then shows up in iTunes, so I attempt to click and drag it to my iPhone.
Convert design evolution video
Really interesting video charting the design evolution of the iPhone app Convert by tap tap tap.
Lovely to see the iterations gone through and the design decisions being made along the way. Especially interesting is how much more usable this ends up than the pretty but woeful ConvertBot.
