Gitta gotta good Gui?
The Register has a brief interview with ex-Apple Human Interface Group member, Gitta Solomon. The article touches on the HIG, that whole Piles thing, and the way that some common user operations are still completely hidden under a layer of Unix schmeer in OS X. Although it doesn’t offer too much new information, it is an entertaining read. I especially enjoyed this bit from the beginning of the article. “Bad human interface design — the sort that really gets in your way — is like a personal DoS attack”. This statement certainly supports my powerful hatred for all things Windows in an oddly comforting way. Even when Windows isn’t suffering from some virus-fed, security breaching worm eating the operating system from the inside out like a hagfish feeding on some seabed carcass, it feels like it’s in the midst of a denial of service attack.
