Matt Legend Gemmell on Engineer Thinking:

“All too often, when faced with a decision about how to implement certain functionality, engineers take the extreme position that:

  • A feature must be exactly what 100% of users want. 
  • If the above isn’t true (and it almost never is), the feature must be configurable. 

This binary approach is gravely wrong, and unjustly offloads decision-making onto the user of the software. We’ve all seen where this approach ends up: multi-row sets of tabs, scrolling panes of checkboxes, nested radio-buttons and a general overload of configuration.”

Why the iPad is something completely different than a tablet with a conventional OS such as windows or macosx.

“every day, your cursor protects you from unclear UI. It helpfully turns into a text cursor as you hover over textboxes, or a hand as you hover over a link or action item”

“ What if instead of adding new features, a company concentrated on making the service or product much easier to use? Or making it much easier to access the advanced features it already has, but that few can master? Maybe what they lose in market share in one area will be more than compensated for in another area. In a lot of markets, it’s gotten so bad out there that simply being usable is enough to make a product truly remarkable.
