Easy for some armchair expert to write about principles of something
from the comfort of their study, but I don't see them actually
designing anything remotely as succesful as an iPod, so I don't think
they have much to teach Apple (not "Macintosh") about user interface
design. Actually one of the things that marks Apple out is the
strictness with which they have adhered to their user interface
standards.
Still, if you're so keen on mailing stuff to people maybe you could
send a copy to "PC" and ask where they got the idea of labelling the
button you need to shut down the computer with "Start"?
In the meantime, feel free to continue to hold iReid's hand and blow
smoke out of your ass - it's entertaining viewing.
