"The depth of the confusion became clear to me recently when, as part of a research project, I had the chance to watch a huge archive of videos of users trying out mobile-specific apps and websites. The results were surprising. Many users struggled to figure out even basic tasks, and I saw the same design mistakes repeated over and over by different developers." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"The harder part is dealing with the underlying design attitude that created these problems in the first place. I don't know exactly when we went astray on design. [...] But somewhere along the way, we lost track of the user's needs. Instead of making things simple, we made them simplistic. We hid features for the sake of hiding them, rather than because the user didn't need them. And we started designing software that would look beautiful to VCs and other designers, rather than being helpful to our users." - Andrew C (✓)

"One of the biggest problems that Android 4 faces at the moment is its ability to be downscaled into the low end. The software requires at least dual core hardware and around 1GB of RAM to run properly which remains way above many low-end specifications today. The result is that 36.5% of all Android devices that access Google services are being made with Gingerbread (Android 2.3) (see here) rather than the latest and greatest software. Those wanting to make cheap devices have little option but to use this very old software which gives a substantially worse user experience than more recent versions. This is why Gingerbread is not disappearing despite newer and better software being available for over 18 months." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"It is in Google's interest to get low end users onto a later version of Android so the user experience can be improved and more users can get proper access to the Google ecosystem. Without this upgrade, I estimate that of the 892m Android phones in the hands of users at the end of this year, Google will have access to only 288m (32%). (see here) This is why I suspect that the focus of... more... - Andrew C (✓)

"I'll get into this in more detail later (I'm on deadline for a magazine feature), but this story just landed. Given the LIBOR story, the Interest Rate Swap manipulation story, the Euro gas price manipulation story, the U.S. energy price manipulation story, and (by now) countless others of the "Everything is Rigged" variety, this screams out for immediate notice.

"[Bloomberg:] Traders at some of the world's biggest banks manipulated benchmark foreign-exchange rates used to set the value of trillions of dollars of investments, according to five dealers with knowledge of the practice . . ." - Andrew C (✓)

"Again, more on this later. But the key thing here is the, uh . . . well, the consistent leitmotif of all these stories. One after another, it's the same thing: Insiders rigging benchmark rates, shaving money from basically everyone on earth, systematically and over periods of many years. It's the ultimate taxation-without-representation story - crazy stuff." - Andrew C (✓)
