Young people of today do, or young computer geeks do today? I don't think internet memes is the same as the rock and roll or hippie movement.

Non developers like my mom can extend Firefox to fix a better UI for downloads – and that's and argument for Firefox not to have great defaults?

OS X postfixes files that are being downloaded with .download – so if you're looking at a file, you should see if it's done or not.

>It's not completely fair to compare Firefox's default design decisions with Chrome/Safari/IE's design decisions, which are more than just defaults. What do you mean by "more than just defaults"?

What if you had to add your opinion everytime you up/downvoted?

It would be great to have a script that setup your machine with all settings, is there a list of all "defaults write" commands somewhere?

I don't understand, could you give an example?

Never having to know what a USB port is, while still getting your digital pictures into your photo app is great design.

They're now used in cases where mice was used before.

by lovskogen 14y ago
No, but it's an evolution – mice is still needed for power users and pro apps.

Pro apps and power users still needs mice, I need mice for using Photoshop, but I do believe we were discussing Average Joe and his apps.

I think it's a great principle to design from, it challenges one do to better. And: users wouldn't need to know what a USB port is, if the design was self-evident. I don't think reasoning like "must" (or "never") pushes innovation and great

It begets simpler software, which is a win win, at least in my book.

People are buying and using touch devices, and they claim it's easy to use.

Touch screens replaced mice with something that feels more natural.

What do you mean by "but then you can lose files simply because they're covered up with windows"?
82.
by lovskogen 14y ago
There seems to be alot of the comments here pointing out that the users are dumb, or they "just have to learn" – really? Aren't we the ones that should design solutions that are easy to understand, and easy to use?
83.
by lovskogen 14y ago
It's the users own fault? Really? We make products for the users, and they never do anything wrong – and it's never their fault.

Why shouldn't storing files on the desktop be possible?

Geeks = super bright people? Nice pat on our backs. I just came to say that you can put tupperware into a box, but I think most of the time, people just put stuff in one box. Your street and city metaphor seems out of place in this discussi

Rapid updates doesn't need to be disruptive, look at Chrome. I don't think Firefox users will miss the Update Dialogue if they removed it, and did silent updates as Chrome. Fragmenting into two apps, and keeping an app with slower update cy

by lovskogen 14y ago
I disagree, and I think you're set on the auto-update in Chrome and Firefox on being equal – they're not. Average Joe doesn't care about a update that brings support for a new css selector – but he cares if that update smacks him in the fac
