Would you buy from Oxxford Clothes?
After seeing this video, I think you would. I would.

Tuesday, 31 August, 2010Arcade Fire and Google present you The Wilderness Downtown.
The Wilderness Downtown is actually an experiment made with HTML5.
A video, several popup windows which add to the main story, an interactive letter to the younger ones and of course some HTML5 magic make the experience original and worthwhile.

Great people talk about ideas.
Average people talk about things.
Small people talk about other people.

Wednesday, 25 August, 2010Here’s the thing: Finder lacks features.
Most MacOS users require more from their most important app. Fact.
I’ve been using Path Finder for more than 3 years. It is really good. It can do anything I need. And it can do a lot more. So here comes a minor complain: it’s an overkill.
TotalFinder is the new kid on the block. I downloaded it, played with it for a while and I like it. It feels native and it is very promising. Yet in Alpha. I’d bet my money on it.
Tuesday, 24 August, 2010This is what conventional wisdom says and Jacob Nielsen confirms.
Every paragraph of the article is insightful but I would like to focus on:
On Apple’s site, users had to hunt around to find the button to purchase an iPhone. Not only was the button in an unconventional location relative to most e-commerce sites, apple.com used internally inconsistent colors and labels for its Buy buttons.
Interestingly, having a (deserved) reputation for good design came to Apple’s rescue. Users were forgiving because they knew that the iPhone had high usability, and they were sufficiently committed to spending the extra time to find out how to purchase one.
See? Context counts.
That’s an absolutely amazing talk. Philippe Starck calls himself stupid, but don’t believe him. He’s a genius. And this talk is not only about design. It is about our life too.
Monday, 23 August, 2010A bit late to the party.
Cameron Moll talks about Good vs. Great design. It’s a quite lengthy video but worths the time. Go, enjoy.
Saturday, 21 August, 2010I don’t believe in advice. I believe in transmitting knowledge. And experience.
Frank Chimero does it in an extraordinary way.
Wednesday, 18 August, 2010How about this:
We don’t care, but our lawyers do.
instead of this:
At [company X], we take [Y] seriously.
Eat this losers: Unsuck it.
