(via It must be the accent | 9to5Mac | Apple Intelligence)
My favorite part of this is to hear the different accent for Siri. I never thought about this but it makes sense that it would have a Austrialian accent.
ux / design / random / weird / funny stuff — you’re soaking in it.

Alarm Dock
What a simple, great idea.
Remember those faux wood grain GE flip clocks that sat on every bedside table just a couple of decades ago? Jonas Damon’s Alarm Dock brings that memory back to life. Place an iPhone or iPod Touch running a flip clock app onto the dock, and see an iconic and meaningful form return to your nightstand, mantel, or shelf.
$39.50 - available for pre-order

Tumblr for the iPhone and Android just got so much cooler. Multi photo carousel views and videos are great. Everything feels a bit faster too.
Note this is the web view inside so no app update required. The power of HTML5*.
*I know it’s not HTML5 and all but what are we gonna do. Everyone is calling it this now anyways. See also AJAX circa 2006.

iPhone: You’re Tapping it Wrong
I was talking to a friend about how he likes his iPhone. This was when they first came out. The conversation turned to him telling me he hardly ever takes it out in public “…because, let’s face it, you look like a dork using it.” I don’t know if I really agreed with him then but I think I know now what he’s talking about. Most people look like dorks using it.
Yesterday, when on the train into work, I watched as this guy navigated his iPhone. Every tap was so deliberate and then always followed by a pronounced pull back of his finger. As if he was casting some magic spell with his index finger. People, you don’t have to tap it this way. A simple tap, tap, tap will do. I know Apple wants you to think it’s magical, but that only is “if you don’t understand it”. Please stop doing this. Leave the grand gestures to your Wiis, your Kinects, and PlayStation Moves.

Apple vs. Google: Looking for Anything to Fuel the Fire
So there’s another conspiracy theory making the rounds that Apple removed the Google button from Safari Search interface in iPhone OS 4 SDK. Man, talk about looking for anything to fuel the fire. Not only does the placeholder text for the search field still say “Google”, but if you start entering in keywords, you get Google Suggestions. Funny how this search state isn’t used in the controversial article.
