MessageAnother good example of the person putting on the show not being as
remembered as the person in front of the camera.
UI design is as difficult an area as anything I can imagine in computing.
The real problem is you have inovators which are typically at the bottom of
the food chain. And imitators at the top. I won't mention any names,
although one should be obvious. We are however in the vary place I expect to
see real headway made for UI design. An open OS core with a wealth of ideas,
and a community willing to implement them.
When will the real UI revolution come? The elimination of the mouse and
keyboard. You can't keep slapping a new face on the same tools.

A very interesting article and links about the man that championed the
macintosh and was instrumental in developing it's GUI interface. He was
recently developing "Archy", a new 'zooming' interface that looks
interesting.
