I'd add the volume control for Quicktime 4. A dial that you had to use a mouse to use. http://hallofshame.gp.co.at/qtime.htm http://hallofshame.gp.co.at/qtime.

- pseudohadamard 7mo agoAh yes, skeuomorphic design, where you take something that's a physical artefact of the hardware and force-fit it onto an utterly different device on which it makes no sense whatsoever.
- ndr42 7mo agoI agree, but boy does it look beautiful!
- flyinghamster 7mo agoAnd the silly thing is, as ridiculous as they are for mouse click/drag or touch use, those kind of dial controls are actually reasonable when coupled to a scroll wheel (like you can do in GNURadio). But Apple has never wavered from "one mouse button and nothing else is good enough for everybody," and scroll wheels aren't really an option for a touch interface.
