Electronics lack Usability

ryansaghir on 2004/01/30:
„The problem is, these insanely complex devices only have these features because that is what was requested by the consumer. We expect our DVD players to have the latest in controls, options and doodads - that's why we like them over VHS!

drunkenbatman on 2004/01/22:
„So if Linux makes massive inroads on the desktop, does that help or hurt a company like Apple? IIRC, economic theory would say markets generally can support two competing standards: VHS vs DVD, CD vs cassette, etc. So would Apple be a 3rd standard (linux & windows being the other 2), or will it ride on top of Linux, as an uber-brand, or will it get creamed. Should be interesting.“

When we watched Kurasawa's The Hidden Fortress (Kakushi Toride No San-Akunin) we talked about not just the two comic peasants, but of things hidden in plain sight -- gold in sticks, the princess as a mute, the servant as princess, and the general as peasant. Hidding in plain sight is how Abenakis survived from the 5th Abenaki War into the 1960s.“
