> This talk reflects my lifetime experience as a UX designer at Apple and Google and how the deepest innovations happen at the most mundane level: richer input, better data flows, and breaking out of our 2d windowing prisons
The deepest inovations: no scrollbars, flat UI, no clear delimitation of UI elements, gray on gray. Buttons which change function depending on context, no bugs fixed, just "features", "we choose the colors for you", "no, cursor blinks only at a fixed rate", "you don't need titlebars and borders", and so on.
Can I have some ?
