These things are “broken” because they have a fundamental UX flaw. The feedback time is a good few seconds after you wave your hand in front of them. So you don’t know if they’ve registered the motion or not. It’s horrible. Someone needs to fix these.

RoiCarthy.com: It's NOT All About the UX. Except It's ALL About the UX.

roicarthy:

UXRecently one of my partners received an email from an entrepreneur saying he chose to reach out to him because, and I’m paraphrasing, ‘Roi puts too much emphasis on assessing companies based on the UX’.

So first off, that’s factually incorrect. Second off, that’s absolutely right. Allow me to…

Sweating the Small Stuff in UX Design

A friend of mine who’s just getting into UX design recently emailed me this question:

When you have a pull-down menu which displays a list of names - pronouns, and selecting one is a link to a detail page… what descriptor do you prefer to be in the menu at the top?

Here’s my response:

I prefer “Choose…” with the ellipses and without the “one”. It’s a nice simple action prompt and I think “one” is implicit from the type of control. 
I also think “choose” feels a bit more like a singular action rather than “select” but it’s probably me and a really subtle distinction. “Select” feels like you could  select more than one, like in a checkbox group. 

It’s interesting to me that questions like these remind me how much UX design is about sweating the small stuff and really thinking about the subtle differences in language and delivering your message to the user with the least amount of UI noise possible. Good stuff.

Your model must be significantly better, not just different for the sake of different, and maybe slightly better sometimes for some people.

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.
