permalinkOut of ink? Already? When Farhad Manjoo's Brother printer abruptly stopped zipping out prints, he began to wonder if the printer wasn't simply lying that it was out of toner in order to trick him into buying more before he needed it. ...Shared by Alex France (139) Andrew (4) Calvin Gilbert (2) Chad Smith (28) Charli Wag (31) Chris Moritz (0) Chris Stamas (9) Craig (2) Dave Koss (42) Eric Chen (114) Hakicoma (13) JBu92 (53) Jeff (6) Joel (12) Jorge (26) Justin (46) Karol F (29) Kevin (32) Mark Jerard (60) Mark Raymond (22) MeghnaK (307) melcorind (8) Mr. Leslie Wong (8) Nate Weiner (1) Nathan (48) Paul (5) prattmic (15) Ramon Andrade (6) richard (42) Rick Butterfield (35) rkalajian (46) Ross Munce (9) Russell K Bulmer (21) Scott (2) t94xr (17) teh roflmaoer (18) tharik (36) Thorsten (19) Tony Jones (6) Trevor Mark (1) webtime (476) Will Sullivan (21) Zeeshan Kazmi (2)Contribute comment

Looking at the screenshot, you can tell that minimalism does not seem to factor into the designers' thinking much... but it works.

The Future of the Desktop (2)
permalinkShared 29 times Tagged Analysis (741) Everything is moving to the cloud. As we enter the third decade of the Web we are seeing an increasing shift from native desktop applications towards Web-hosted clones that run in browsers. For example, a range of products such as Microsoft Office Live, Google Docs, Zoho, ThinkFree, DabbleDB, Basecamp, and many others now provide Web-based alternatives to the full range of familiar desktop office productivity apps.

If these trends continue, will the browser eventually swallow up or simply replace the desktop? Yes. In fact, it will probably happen very soon.

- jezarnold said: I already find that search on my desktop is my most powerful tool. This will be linked to a more "me" concentration on the web, especially linked to two seperate "me's" - Work & personal.. I find with work, that the use of the corporate intranet, an internal Wikipedia and also team sharepoints is becoming more prevalent amongst my colleagues..

Good 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.
