| vish | dashua: hehe , you were just having fun , werent ya > http://launchpadlibrarian.net/42237268/out.ogv ;p | 10:44 |
|---|---|---|
| dashua | vish, Ha yeah. Just a bit. Was demonstrating the metacity fixes on the button bg's. :) | 10:55 |
| dashua | The fix is my PPA if it hasn't hit Lucid yet. | 10:58 |
| vish | yeah , that was a good fix | 10:59 |
| darkmatter | vish: have you seen the new "Metro" ui for the widows phone 7 series? it looks pretty slick | 10:59 |
| darkmatter | windows* | 11:00 |
| vish | darkmatter: yeah , _sabdfl_ had blogged about it too o.0 | 11:00 |
| * darkmatter likes | 11:00 | |
| darkmatter | especially the tile flipping thing that lets you do crazy stuff like flip over a contact and text them on the back of their card | 11:03 |
| vish | darkmatter: is there a vid or a working version? i just read the slides | 11:04 |
| vish | s/or/of | 11:04 |
| darkmatter | vish: I haven't seen one around, but I'm still looking | 11:05 |
| darkmatter | found a promo video, but those don't count :P | 11:07 |
| darkmatter | vish: found one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dM4X-KveSs | 11:18 |
| vish | ty | 11:22 |
| darkmatter | np | 11:22 |
| * vish for some reason cant stop laughing when he looks at steve ballmer ;p | 11:23 | |
| darkmatter | I've always leaned toward that more 'webby' feel in ui metaphors, probably explains why I like that ui so much :P | 11:24 |
| darkmatter | vish: that phone reveal actually shows a decent example of what I'm talking about when I ramble on about data convergence. take their pictures library for example. regardless of the source, all pictures are shown their. be they flickr, live, facebook, locally stored, whatever | 11:32 |
| vish | ah | 11:34 |
| vish | i like the live title , they seem to work pretty well | 11:34 |
| vish | live tiles* | 11:34 |
| darkmatter | vish: basically, aside from the hated but necessary web-browsery-thingy, I think the internet should be provided as a service/framework and should be plugged in to the user environment at more of a core level, and various bit's are sorted to where they should be according to what they are | 11:37 |
| vish | darkmatter: internet should be free and unlimited ;) .. even on phones.. i think finland made broadband a basic right | 11:39 |
| darkmatter | and not just personal data/networking/etc, web searches, mapping, et al | 11:39 |
| darkmatter | vish: aye | 11:40 |
| darkmatter | vish: but you get the picture I should think | 11:40 |
| vish | darkmatter: yeah , that is actually how everything should work.. no need to forget when i left/stored my whatever files | 11:41 |
| sanderqd | that's more easily solved by just putting everything in the web browser than by 'plugging the internet in the desktop' | 11:42 |
| darkmatter | vish: like one of the ideas I borrowed and modified conceptually. the whole enzo/ubiquity thingy, but as the run dialog. think of something like do, but not limited to local crap | 11:43 |
| * vish bbiab | 11:44 | |
| darkmatter | sanderqd: if by 'easy' you mean 'lazy' then yeah. :P but the networking bit is only a part of the whole. I've been wasting my time on the design and engineering long enough to state with utmost certainty that browser = fail in this specific case (and most others). the reason being something about "half-assed implementations" ;) | 11:50 |
| sanderqd | darkmatter: google also has quite some experience with design and engineering :-) | 12:16 |
| darkmatter | never said they didn't. I said specifics vary. it's all about the implementation. google is cloud crazy because google wants to control the ebb and flow of data ;) | 12:20 |
| vish | darkmatter: interesting ui > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3OUG93qZ0Q&feature=channel | 12:43 |
| darkmatter | a fan ui. that is cool. only potential drawback I can think of is that it is perhaps too linear | 12:45 |
| vish | weirdly though i'm right-handed , i find holding the phone in my left hand more easier o.0 | 12:48 |
| darkmatter | vish: http://www.fallon.com/skimmer | 12:50 |
| darkmatter | vish: it's nothing earthshattering, but it looks like a nice app | 12:57 |
| vish | darkmatter: ah! i was wondering what awesomeness i was missing... looks nice indeed :) | 12:58 |
| darkmatter | vish: plus the customizable summary page. nommy. | 13:02 |
| dashua | vish, Are the action arrow icons getting changed to the new folder color? Looks a little inconsistent with the old Humanity orange. | 21:20 |
