touch screens cant match physical buttons. This one is extra funny by taking keys away and giving you unknown things in return. Finally one can once again look down at the keys wondering which is which. After moving your hands away.

If I was on the design team they would have fired me for screaming at everyone. Screaming is good UI tho.

Oh man. I really do start screaming sometimes.

At user interfaces, too often. At unbelievably bad product choices of all kinds.

The simpler & dumber the issue the louder I get.

Someone creates a quality flat tine garden rake with about 40 metal tines, and charges accordingly. The person who manages stickers, because everything needs stickers, creates huge stickers they glue across all the tines. You try to peel it off and now you have over two dozen tines with long streaks of shredded paper glued hard to them.

Screaming is an appropriate place to put the high spin WTF-a-tons that might otherwise feed the universe’s dark energy.

And that, dear reader, is my theory of dark energy.
