Just saw this on Channel 9′s forums: what if Microsoft designed the iPod box. It’s a video. It hurts. Ouch.
How do you improve yourself? 1) Be honest with yourself about what you do. 2) Repeat.
Honesty hurts. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
I’m off to New York. Behave yourselves!
[...] It must be difficult to run such a big company as Microsoft – but to have each division releasing their own mail client is just ridiculous. When will Microsoft get direction – who knows, but Robert Scoble recently commented on his blog that the above-mentioned video hurts, because he knows it’s true! [...]
honesty is bad words, how about the dream world, it is so comfortable, what to da with believes , hopes, faith…

[...] Auf dem Scobleizer-Blog habe ich einen Link zu dieser Seite gefunden. Es geht um ein Video, in dem Microsoft wohl ziemlich auf den Arm genommen wird. Da ich sowas hin und wieder ganz lustig finde, wollte ich mir das Video natürlich anschauen, doch leider wurde es inzwischen gelöscht. Ich habe aber eine Alternative gefunden, viel Spaß. [...]

“Goebbels” you are a retard. The iPoo’s “equaliser” is a joke and of course it distorts, you’re right. However a real parametric equaliser (like the one in e.g. the Rio Karma) allows to decrease specific frequencies not just overdrive like the iPoo does. And it’s for compensating for the differences in head/earphones, it’s not an “amateur” thing. Of course the iPoo is an amateur fashion item acting like a music player that can’t even play tracks gaplessly.

Haha, this is funny… but I guess:
“Jokes are really half-meant.” I wonder what that other half of the truth is?

I wonder if the reason Apple has better graphic design might be that they are smaller. A smaller company has a smaller design staff, so fewer people are there and they all know the products. With a small design team they can have a standard look to work off, which saves time for a small team, and provides a graphic cohesiveness among the products.
There is a comment about computer design regarding the Cray Supercomputers of a few decades ago: After CDC produced the CDC 6600 designed by Seymour Cray, I.B.M.’s chairman Thomas J. Watson Jr., wrote a memo to his staff noting that the 6600 team totaled only 34 people, “including the janitor,” and asked how I.B.M. had let such a small team offer the world’s most powerful computer. The answer is simply that a small team can do things in an elegant way that a large team cannot.
It is interesting that both Cray and Jobs have a design ethic to simplicity. There are volumes of information available about Cray on the Web. http://www.businessweek.com/1989-94/pre88/b31571.htm is one example. Understanding Cray’s work and design vis a vi IBM has a number of parallels to Microsoft and Apple.

I think I could lose the Nano 4, its just too light. Anyone else agree that these things are getting too light?

I thought Microsoft are good to copy things
just killing.
Apple good design is not because they small, you don’t call 10000 employees small. It’s the organization that provide the means to be that efficient.
