What "Product Semantics" do an attached power and audio cable communicate?
Yes, user interface and industrial design do employ metaphor and consistent semantic sets to make use of a thing more intuitive, but to suggest that the ethereal and subjective concept of "product semantics" should influence actual usage in this way is to abdicate intelligence and tortue the very concept of design semantics. The fact that the unit's "design semantics suggest portability" to you should not be enough to convince you that you should be carrying it room to room regularly. Suggestion to the contrary is neat balderdash. I'm happy that Slim Devices credits me with the literacy and intelligence required to use their products properly without having to be beaten over the head with the obvious. -- rudholm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23509 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
