There is some truth in his point about big buttons. The idea of using a traditional keyboard+mouse interface with software designed for fingers is actually pretty appealing, just because of the ease of use constraints on the software.
- CamperBob 16y agoTrue, which I suppose is why so many new/startup websites look like http://www.fisherprice.com http://www.fisherprice.com.
- Poiesis 16y agoActually, it just continues to show the naïveté at the top. The article has him saying "Media Center is Big Buttons", as if media center could solve their problems. I want to give them points for trying, but really the needs of an interface that's ten feet away and controlled with a remote are vastly different than one at your fingertips. Yes, they both need to be bigger in certain ways. But the similarity mostly stops there. I hate to keep dragging out the Steve Jobs quote, but I really can't think of a better way to put it. "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."
