On Wedneday I went to watch a student run stage performance called CSE Revue 2010 The Dark Byte. They made this awesome parody of the Inception Movie trailer!… called RECEPTION! I present it to you all here and now in all its HD glory!…(Here is a link to the YouTube Std-Def Version if the 40mb stream is too demanding for you)

What were they thinking: Gmail's lonely button
I noticed that my “What were they thinking” line of posts have been me making fun of apple products. Today I thought I’d post something about Gmail’s lonely button. Here it is in all its glory!…
Right there in the centre of the screenshot is Gmail’s loanly “Compose mail” button. Hiding in the sidebar between the text based html links. I don’t see why that button deserves to steal so much of the users attention. I would think that a prominent text link would be more suited to the role. But wait! It turns out that the button isnt alone. The address book functionality has a “New Contact” button in the same place. Yea sure its consistent across apps. But does it steal users attention unnecessarily? I think it does. Im not a regular user of the web interface, let me know what you think in the comments.
