RCA Two Thousand (1)
on ISO50 - The Visual Work of Scott Hansen (98) permalinkCaught this ad on Paleofuture. The RCA Two Thousand was a TV set released in 1969 with a price tag of $2000 (roughly $12,000 in today’s market). It leveraged then nascent computer technology to, among other things, store favorite channels electronically and automate tuning. The interesting thing to me is how much it resembled a modern flat panel when the cabinet was closed (top and bottom left). Unfortunately, those are just doors; when in it’s ...Shared by Benjamin R (30)Contribute comment

More vs. enough (40)
on Seth's Blog (4469) permalinkLesley reminds us of Hertzberg's work on hygiene. It's not just theory, it's a vitally important marketing concept. It's easy to believe that joy lives on a simple curve. If you give me more of what I want, you give me more joy. If one baseball game is good, season tickets are better. If $300 an hour for consulting is good, $400 is better. Improved = more. It turns out, though, that there isn't just ...Shared by _original (252) aElian (54) AJ (973) Andrew Boardman (203) angol (255) Benjamin R (30) Christelle (29) Dave (89) doransky (166) Edwin Khodabakchian (45) Erik (37) Hakim (33) Jeff (25) JenniferG (79) Joe Schmitt (19) Jonathan Washburn (57) Julius (41) Julius (92) kepp (104) Kneale Mann | RedFish Group (45) koles (21) Lee (81) Lee (67) MAlbano (39) mfh (103) Michael (222) MichaelMJ (40) Mike Troiano (42) Nitin Badjatia (65) Ozgur Alaz, Marketallica (150) Phillip Baker (46) rexy (174) Ricardo M.

Story Pitch: Microsoft’s “flattened” Windows 7 team and what it means for business (34)
on Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger (2582) permalinkDear Steven Sinofsky, Jon DeVaan, and Frank Shaw: (For those who don’t know, Frank Shaw is the guy who, at Waggener Edstrom, runs the Microsoft PR account there, and Steven Sinofsky and Jon DeVaan runs Microsoft’s Windows team.

- Devlin D said: I think this is an extremely valuable story to tell. Developing software is one of the biggest challenges technology faces today and being able to see how a company like MS was able to learn from their mistakes and even with tens of thousands of employees still manage to restructure their approach to be more agile. Good luck to you Robert, I hope you get this story.

The decision before the decision (21)
on Seth's Blog (4469) permalinkA friend sent me a business plan the other day. He outlined four or five elements of the project he was launching and wanted my feedback on each. In our haste to get started, we jump ahead. He'd already decided to launch a project. To make it a non-profit. To build it on a scale of a million dollars a year.

10 Futuristic User Interfaces (260)
on Smashing Magazine (5301) permalinkGood user interfaces are crucial for good user experience. It doesn’t matter how good a technology is — if we, designers, don’t manage to make user interface as intuitive and attractive as possible, the technology will hardly reach a breakthrough. To gain the interest in a new product or technology, users need to understand its advantages or find themselves impressed or involved. And here is where creative ideas and unusual interface approaches become important.

- Richard said: Totally agree with this. There are so many positive ways to use technology these days, but most businesses either have no clue, or no inclination. Doing so would certainly set you apart from the masses...
- Andy Yates said: change 'customers' to 'employees' or 'friends and family', even ... the same probably holds true ..
- matthew hunt said: good points!
- Jay said: The more interaction your have with your customers, the more you gain in knowing how they feel about your offering and how they think we can improve. Whether the interaction is face-to-face, email-to-email, tweet-to-tweet is for you to decide. I have seen angry customers venting their disgust in some third-party forum, which could have been avoided, if there had been a open channel of communication with the vendor.
