Skeuomorphism in User Interface Design, What is It? – Designmodo
http://designmodo.com/skeuomorphism-ui-design/

The best example is a button. Unlike its texture and even its shape, a button’s functionality will always be the same. In that way it will always be a skeuomorphic representation of a button you see on your TV remote.

Microsoft abandonnerait les plus grosses nouveautés de Windows 8
http://www.macg.co/news/voir/259798/microsoft-abandonnerait-les-plus-grosses-nouveautes-de-windows-8

Quelques mois avant la sortie de Windows 8, Tim Cook avait donné un avis déjà très tranché sur le nouveau système en expliquant : « Vous pouvez fusionner un grille-pain et un réfrigérateur, mais ça ne va sans doute pas plaire à l’utilisateur. » (lire : Apple ne fera pas fusionner tablettes et ordinateurs portables). Il avait manifestement raison et Microsoft va peut-être suivre la même voie qu’Apple désormais en rapprochant son système desktop et mobile, sans toutefois les réunir.

Pour Amit Singhal, d’ici 5 ans vous ne pourrez absolument plus vous passer de ce nouveau mode de recherche, à regarder vers celle que nous utilisions en 2013 pour vous demander « Tu arrives à t’imaginer : c’est comme cela nous que cherchions à l’époque ». Et après 22 ans passés à travailler sur la recherche, dont 12 années chez Google, Singhal est sûr de lui : l’avenir de la recherche sera encore plus excitant que tout ce que nous avons pu voir jusqu’à présent.

Ce programme de fidélité est construit sur l’engagement des fans et non sur leur consommation. Plutôt que de rémunérer l’achat d’un DVD, c’est l’engagement qui est récompensé, c’est-à-dire le moment ou l’internaute va regarder une vidéo, la «liker», la partager, participer à un challenge, etc. Ce site conçu autour du concept de Gamification, avec beaucoup de challenges et de jeux engage donc les internautes sur des choses potentiellement amouvantes.

10 Lessons on Leadership

10 Lessons on Leadership – with Shareable Poster
http://blog.kissmetrics.com/10-lessons-on-leadership/

 

“Great leaders love to see people grow. The day you are afraid of them being better than you is the day you fail as a leader.” – Jack Welch, Former Chairman and CEO of General Electric

Some companies follow the motto: “hire for character, train for skill.” You hire people that are eager to learn and are very “raw.” They don’t have a ton of skills; but as a leader, you teach them, and they become better. They grow with your company and contribute to its success.

One of the most popular stories of a leader inspiring another is when Steve Jobs recruited John Sculley to join Apple. Jobs asked the famous question: “Do you want to sell sugar water all your life, or do you want to change the world?”

Six Things Misunderstood About User Experience Designers
http://www.usabilitycounts.com/2011/03/14/six-things-misunderstood-about-user-experience-designers/

It’s really not that hard. The analogy I use is that I’m like an architect for houses. I design the structure of the house, the three rooms, and where the kitchen is so that it’s livable. Someone builds the structure (programmers), wires the house for water and power (database architects), paints the walls (visual designers), and determines the value of the house and how to sell it (those pesky product people that think they are UX designers ;) ).

Android Owners Aren’t Real Smartphone Owners – Business Insider
http://www.businessinsider.com/android-owners-arent-real-smartphone-owners-2013-3

Anyway, all this is why it can be stupid to compare Android and Apple market share.

 

You can get an iPhone free, but most people who get them don’t. They spend money to get a personal computer in their pocket.

Android owners, for the most part, are just looking for a new cellphone, and will take whatever is handed to them at the store that doesn’t cost any extra money. These days, that’s usually an Android phone.

Why 2013 Is the Year of Responsive Web Design

La Smartwatch devrait rapidement trouver sa place dans ce marché saturé par les Smartphones et les tablettes. L’engouement pour ces deux appareils a été constant ces dernières années, mais les modèles se sont multipliés et le marché est encombré. Les consommateurs auraient donc tendance à chercher un peu de fraîcheur et la Smartwatch devrait être le prochain appareil à succès.

 

Innovation Excellence | 5 Creativity Lessons from Facebook’s Soleio Cuervo
http://www.innovationexcellence.com/blog/2011/08/21/5-creativity-lessons-from-facebooks-soleio-cuervo/

 

  • Before you start creating, push yourself to look for intriguing analogous situations to what you’re working on. Learn from how others address comparable situations to yours.
  • Plan in a different creative medium than you’ll ultimately implement in. Draw the document you’re creating. Write prose about the design you’ll be doing.
  • Test what you’re working on with real-life situations/data/elements, etc. Real users don’t use things in clean elegant ways; they beat on them and use them incorrectly. Your testing should do the same.
  • When creating, you have to look closely at what you’re doing, but also step far away from it to see what things look like at a distance. You’ll see very different patterns and specifics.
  • Just because you spent a lot of time on something doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be willing to walk away from it if it’s not right. You’ll spend more time fixing it or disaffecting others by keeping what’s clearly not on target.

 

Why Your Next Phone Will Include Fingerprint, Facial, and Voice Recognition
http://www.forbes.com/sites/tarunwadhwa/2013/03/29/why-your-next-phone-will-include-fingerprint-facial-and-voice-recognition/

In fact, it is an almost certainty that within the next few years, three biometric options will become standard features in every new phone: a fingerprint scanner built into the screen, facial recognition powered by high-definition cameras, and voice recognition based off a large collection of your vocal samples.

 

The design challenge of adapting interfaces to different screen sizes will seem trivial compared to developing experiences that work across mediums and contexts. That’s why it’s an exciting time be creating digital experiences. I believe we’re up to the task even if we’ll no longer be able to find those brilliant ideas in our touch-enabled, voice-activated, Internet-connected showers.

 

Why the Apple iWatch Will Have These 6 Killer Features
http://www.cultofmac.com/220962/why-the-apple-iwatch-will-have-these-6-killer-features/

 I believe Apple will enable custom haptics for the iWatch. You’ll be able to set up custom vibration patterns for specific people and/or specific types of information, so you won’t even need to look at the watch to get some kinds of messages.

You can also be given enough information by buzzing to make a decision even to look at the watch or not look. For example, you’ll have a specific pattern of buzzes for incoming text messages and another pattern when someone in your “Close Friends” group on Facebook posts a status update. If you’re in a meeting with your boss, you might choose to check the iWatch to see the incoming text, but ignore the status update.

 

Marissa Mayer writes her own rules
http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/12/tech/web/marissa-mayer-yahoo-profile/index.html

“I actually have a very different philosophy about burnout,” she told BuzzFeed last year. “I don’t think that burnout comes from not getting enough sleep or not eating enough square meals. I think that burnout comes from resentment. … It is possible to work ‘too hard,’ but you need to figure out what things it really is you need to stay fueled up, to stay energized, to not get resentful.

 

 

Quelques règles pour bien apprécier SXSW

SXSW Interactive – The 7 Ways to Make the Most of It – Forbes
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinready/2013/03/10/sxsw-interactive-the-7-ways-to-make-the-most-of-it/

 

1.Leave your friends and colleagues behind: Even if you came to this event with your coworkers or friends, say goodbye to them each morning and head a separate way. SXSW is about meeting new people.

2. Diversify: Make it a point to attend sessions about subjects that you know nothing about. SXSW provides the rare and valuable  opportunity to share time with experts from many diverse fields. Indeed, one of the recurring bits of advice we get from experienced entrepreneurs and venture capitalists like investor Vinod Khosla (who shared this advice on Saturday afternoon) is that “diversity matters”. The most successful businesses and executives deliberately surround themselves with people who have different personalities, different areas of expertise, and different backgrounds. SXSW brings you that opportunity to a degree that is hard to match.

3. Conserve your phone battery: SXSW has most attendees tweeting, texting, calling, emailing, and taking notes on their phones all day long. Somewhere around hour 7 they all notice that they are running out of power. In the early morning, turn down your screen brightness and turn off unnecessary services like Bluetooth and GPS if you can. Also take advantage of charging opportunities throughout the day.

4. Bring food: Throw some granola bars in your bag before you head out each day. Sessions get long, and continue one-after-another. Eric Ries of the Lean Startup commented yesterday that he “didn’t know what he was thinking” leaving the hotel without breakfast, and without carrying anything to snack on for the day. Most sessions have water available, so you don’t need to carry around a water bottle all day.

5. Take Notes: Bring a pen and a paper notebook. Capture the best ideas you get during the day, including names and contact info for people you meet. After you get back home or to your hotel at night, go through your notes and notate them from what you remember of the sessions. Be sure to send a quick email to any folks that you met and want to keep in touch with. If you wait until after the whole event is over, your memory of who you met and what you learned will be hard to sort out – do this exercise each night.

6. Plan for serendipity: Allow yourself to spend a good bit of your time at SXSW in an unplanned manner.  Move through the venues and sessions and stumble upon new and unexpected things.

7. The most value is between the sessions: Each event is a magnet for certain types of people: Investors, startup teams, designers, technologists, etc. Before and after the sessions, take the opportunity to meet the people sitting next to you. I have made some good friends during the wait time between sessions, and come across business connections that continue to positively affect my business even years later.

8. Contribute:  Do you want to participate as a presenter or panelist next year?  As a SXSW attendee, I got the chance to talk with panelists and authors who were making a splash on the presenting side of  SXSW.  I used some of that advice to write a book and have it published, so that by the next year I had a couple of events in which to share my message from the stage, instead of just sitting in the audience. You can do the same.

5 Design Challenges That Could Derail Apple’s iWatch
http://www.fastcodesign.com/1671898/5-design-challenges-that-could-derail-apples-iwatch

If the iWatch has any great potential, it’s to change our behavior, to stop that habit we have of constantly pulling phones from our pockets. But a screen that’s always within eyeshot brings challenges of its own. With Facebook, Twitter, email, and countless apps, how do we attenuate this data to reconcile with our practical attention spans? The first wave of defense is that software has to be very picky about what news it shares with us. The bigger challenge, however, is that hardware needs to package this news in a way that won’t demand too much of our limited cognition. It needs to use static cues.

Google finds its design voice on iOS – The Next Web
http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/12/22/google-gets-its-ish-together-on-ios/

The string of well designed, if not exactly perfect, app updates continued. In no particular order, YouTube, Chrome, Google Search, YouTube Capture and of course, Google Maps all displayed a much surer design hand on Apple’s platform. They obeyed the right conventions for things like the back button and the bottom-oriented navigation bar, but they maintained a sense of what Google has been about from the beginning.

 

Fraser Speirs – Blog – Misconceptions About iOS Multitasking

There are exactly five kinds of apps allowed to run indefinitely in the Background state in iOS 5:

  • Apps that play audio while in the Background state. A good example is Instacast while it’s playing a podcast.
  • Apps that track your location in the Background. For example, you still want voice prompts from your TomTom navigation app, even if another app is Active.
  • Apps that listen for incoming VOIP calls. If you use Skype on iOS, you can receive incoming Skype calls while the app is in the Background.
  • Newsstand apps that are downloading new content.
  • Apps that receive continuous updates from an external accessory in the Background.

He said, “I want to make this clear. I saw what happened when Walt Disney passed away. People looked around, and they kept asking what Walt would have done.” He goes, “The business was paralyzed, and people just sat around in meetings and talked about what Walt would have done.” He goes, “I never want you to ask what I would have done. Just do what’s right.” He was very clear.

Apple TV: Big Potential in 2013
http://www.forbes.com/sites/darcytravlos/2012/12/31/apple-tv-big-potential-in-2013/

Consumers have been willing to spend more on Apple products than the other items in the same category Apple’s products have come with greater functionality, elegant features and the aforementioned Delightful User Experience.  Combine Apple’s elegant styling with a user-friendly interface and, viola, the MacTV or iPanel could usurp the current device called a television, and change how consumers think about the panel hanging on their living room wall.  Katy Huberty of Morgan Stanley recently survey consumers and found they would be willing to pay a 20% premium over current television prices for an Apple TV.
