I agree. I think there's a legacy of UI design over the past decades that many software houses still cling to. File/folder, menu bars and so on. I'm not really an iPhone/iPad fan, but I think they have and will continue to contribute a lot towards getting people to rethink UI design. Also, the article you're thinking of is probably either this book: http://www.amazon.com/Design-Everyday-Things-Donald-Norman/dp/0465067107/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1270182121&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Design-Everyday-Things-Donald-Norman/d... Or an article about it. (The push/pull door things is a classic example out of that book.)
