Buckminster on beauty

"€œWhen I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."

Buckminster Fuller

This wireless mouse is made from natural wool felt and laminated bamboo ply. The felt’s softness and plyability makes the mouse comfortable without looking “cartoonishly” ergonomic. The button layout follows the golden rectangle.

Rants are good

stevenf.com: Try Again

What a travesty this Android announcement is. A 34-company committee that's going to oversee the development of a currently non-existent suite of open-source mobile applications to run on as-yet-unspecified hardware. I've never seen so much hot air, and honestly I'm kind of shocked that it came out of Google.

A 34-company committee couldn't create a successful ham sandwich, much less a mobile application suite. It's going to be some half-baked turd undoubtedly based on GPE since that's, you know, better than starting from scratch, right? (Wrong.)

For heaven's sake: Find someone, ONE person, with a unique vision. Lock them in a room with some programmers and a graphic designer. Twenty people, tops. Change the world. Quit re-hashing the same old bullshit and telling me it's new, exciting, or in any way innovative. Be ready to fail, many times, but for love of all that is holy take a stand on something.

You have NO CLUE why the iPhone is successful and highly sought after, do you? You think it's all some sort of weird fluke. A market anomaly. That these millions of iPhone owners are going to wake up one morning and say OH SHIT this doesn't have MMS, what was I thinking! How can such a technological abortion be popular? Come ON, Google, you know better.

People don't want FEATURES. They'll tell you they do until they're blue in the face. But what they actually want is ease-of-use, and solutions to real-world problems -- looking at a map, finding nearby restaurants, sending a photo to a friend without going through 6 submenus, not to mention making phone calls. You're Google, you're actually not too bad at this. Ditch those other 33 companies, put 20 of your smartest people on it, and you stand a fighting chance. Otherwise just let it go -- this PR non-announcement isn't worth the time it takes to read.
