Well ambient brightness matters, but actually analog cinema projectors use a frame rate of 48 fps (they "flick" every movie frame twice), so it's still way above 30fps. Plus, with CRTs the problem is exacerbated, because they

"30 fps flicker" - that's not a CRT, it doesn't flicker , because unlike CRTs, a flat display doesn't have a ray refreshing the display top to bottom. And 30 fps on a CRT wouldn't be enough to produce stable i

Part of being an intelligent person is the ability to make the best call based on all available information. There's no general rule. I'll just say that fast iteration is key. You iterate quickly and show users prototypes, and inc

I don't know. The top two most frustrating things I encounter on modern web sites are: "infinite" scrolling effects & badly done responsive designs. While adaptive UI can be done right (and yes, that's the correct na

I'm sure you can make your trivial point about the intricacies of web design without having to piggyback on Jonathan Ive's interview. For the record, a lot of the UI prototyping at Apple is done in Photoshop. It's also done
