On the one hand, I would want to say that the concept isn't at all about the
mouse - it's about the browser. The mouse is just there to look futuristic -
so although discussions about input devices are interesting, they're not at
all related to the main idea of this video.
On the other hand, since
Our client, the largest software company in the world needs a User
Experience Designer who likes some variety in their work.
The projects include three main areas:
1) UI design for a mobile communicator client
2) Hardware device #1 - UX for handset that plugs into your PC so you
can talk
I think the demo was fine. But what I'd like to question is the
necessity of a browser in the first place. From all the tasks
that were demonstrated, the browser was acting like the OS, except
for all things online. Why not just get back to the real issues at
hand and think about doing away
Looks sharp -- just what I'd like to imagine for a Semantic Web desktop.
Could
be done by clicking and dragging RDF named-graphs, in which case the
API for all the apps and files would be already standardized (assuming there
would be RDF behind the scenes). Bravo!

Also,
So Seth Godin has a new blog post http://tinyurl.com/6rqluo concerning the
semantics of designing. vs. architecting which is rather interesting.
Here is what he says --
Is architect a verb?
I confess. I like using it that way.
I think architecting something is different from designing it. I hope
I'm a recruiter, and I'm going to chime in about having a portfolio it's

Think about marketing yourself in a way that addresses the misconceptions
English teachers AND the NYTimes Book Review shudder in HORROR at the idea
of architecting as a verb (or in this case, a gerund, a verbal).
E-VILE!
We also find the word gift used as a verb perfectly revolting as well.
There is a perfectly good verb, to give-- and the idea of some marketer
That is not nearly as crass as people that use incenting as a verb.
Incentive is a noun. Incenting is an act of perversion, but nearly as bad as
debottlenecking.

Well, the web browser is becoming so important that maybe it should
become an even more relevant part of the OS. Or maybe it should
become the OS.
It could also work the other way round, the OS becoming nothing more
than a web browser...

Ok, not one to normally chime in on things that can get semi-controversial,
but...
Whether we get down to the correctness of using nouns as verbs, etc., I
really don't think that matters as much as the point of what Seth is
saying. I think this is actually a great approach to understanding this
Hi everybody!
Infragistics, the company I work for, is sponsoring some research (i.e.,
they've asked me to do it!) on understanding and improving software UI
design and specification.
To that end, I've been contacting folks I know individually, but
unfortunately I don't scale well, so I'd like
the lines are definitely blurring, but I believe that OS providers do
so because they want to take advantage of their proximity tot he OS
code in their task oriented applications, that put them at an
advantage to other vendors who aren't creating OS. Further, MOST of
an OS has little to do with
Wow! it's 2003 all over again. Tog's original post that inspired
this organization called on us to be architects. our entire first
6 months of discussions on this list was about why we are designers
and not architects. ;-)
I refuse to repeat 6 months of ideas that I feel haven't changed and

Here's a good quote for this problem:
Instead of using words which already have common uses, we should dig up
archaic words which might or might not have related meaning and just use
those, since no one knows what they mean anyway and it makes you sound
erudite to use them.

The contraption they have for a mouse could cause some 'gorilla arm'
issues, but there are other 3D input devices that work fine - anyone
played a Wii?
The second and third videos don't show all the different contexts
the mobile device could get used in, but I think something really
