Time and time again, after being frustrated with Lastpass's UX i think of how much nicer 1Password looks. I really miss that app. It's hard for me to suggest LastPass to people who aren't comfortable. I've heard people from 1Password talk about there design work. On those days of frustration, I wonder if LastPass a real UX team.
That may be true, but I remember seeing many reports of Lenin and Stalin statues being pulled down all over the former soviet countries after the URSS fell apart. I'm surprised that one was still standing.
I was listen to an old episode of Radio lab (http://www.radiolab.org/story/91713-famous-tumors/) and they had an ad for 23andme. The ad most talked about how you can use this information and talk it over with doctor. The ancestry reports was just a side thing mentioned at the end.
> Even if we accept that OS X users don't buy books about their OS and don't rant as much (which I find particularly out of touch with reality), that's because there are vastly more Windows users around.
I would have assume most mac users who want to learn buy Apple's 'One on One' courses or some other related service.
I saw this reasoning flying around a lot when Valve started working on linux. I saw the move from linux initially as a natural extension of developing for the Mac OS. GabeN was quoted saying something on the lines of how the games were running much more stable on OSX then windows and said the problem they had wasn't related to there code.
Then I heard how performance issues. Using games performed (slightly?) better on Linux then on Windows. There was talk about mouse issues on Windows 8 and how some bench marks could be faked.
All this sounded to me was Valve wanted a better gaming environment.
Side note, I don't know how many people would be switching to Windows' store and gaming social features over Steam.
Steam
is a basically a middleman for games taking 30% cut of revenue. Of course they're and should be
terrified of how Apple eliminated middlemen with the App store and the
30% cut of all sales inside the app. There are things like Xfire for the
social gaming features.
1) Vender lockdown & habits - I've been using an since the second iPod Touch (as a PDA). I'm not ready/eager to change "my workflow".
2) Accessibility - iOS (and the mac os) has had some the best (or at least easiest to setup) accessibility support. I'd be happy to be wrong about this but Androids documentation is either really lacking on these features or the features aren't there.
You're absolutely right. The accessibility features are lightyears better on iOS. This means that far more people with visual impairments are using iOS and thus more apps are being developed for the blind on iOS than other platforms. It's a pretty virtuous cycle :)
