In terms of real, in use, user interfaces, what do you think are the best examples? What do you like about them?


I'm not a big fan of most UIs today (not that I was a big fan of those in the past -- but they seem generally worse in basic outlook)


Even minimalistic flat style popularised by Microsoft?


I didn't mean "look" but what they do for the user ...

idiocracy


unsure why you're getting downvotes, the movie was a satire of the aughties and yet grows more poignant with time

though exaggerated it is compelling in its depictions of politics, family planning, television, policing, language, waste management, control through sedation, food, health, standardised tests, and on and on

hell, it's essentially predicated on a beloved sf author's dismissive pith:

    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and 
    there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism 
    has been a constant thread winding its way through our

Here I found a source: http://thenextweb.com/google/2014/07/04/google-takedown-requ...


I heard this too - this site needs to be careful that it isn't pushing false information. Could it viewed as defamatory, I wonder?


Thanks for mentioning this.

You can find the article for almost any combination of relevant search terms, so long as you do not include the name of one particular commenter.


No difference, just a new name. Not so bad I guess, however I fear it will cropper when vendors leap on the bandwagon again and start sell inappropriate tools and frameworks badged as Microservice and we can start the process of renaming again.


That's great news for vendors and consultants who jump on the bandwagon though :).
