Fifa 12

Sun, 09 Oct 2011 10:45:06 +0300

Dear Electronic Arts.

Why do you make me do the following each time I launch Fifa 12 and want to continue my season?

Select English as my language
Press start
Select A so that I confirm Autosave to be okay (I have no other possibilities)
Select career mode - and to move up twice to continue career instead of creating a new one or loading another career.
Then I most of the time have to confirm all the unsaved progress might be lost.

What the hell EA - did you guys ever try to play a season yourself?

seldo:

This is genuinely Microsoft’s idea of a “streamlined”, “optimized” UI for Windows Explorer. They were so proud of it they wrote a blog post about it.

The post is a sort of masterpiece of crazy rationalization, but I think my favourite part may be this screenshot:

Here, they proudly overlay the UI with data from their research into how often various commands are used. They use this to show that “the commands that make up 84% of what users do in Explorer are now in one tab”. But the more important thing is that the remaining 50% of the bar is taken up by buttons that nobody will ever use, ever, even according to Microsoft’s own research. And yet somehow they remain smack bang in the middle of the interface. The insanity is further enriched by this graph:

Again, this is Microsoft’s own research, cited in the same post: nobody — almost literally 0% of users — uses the menu bar, and only 10% of users use the command bar. Nearly everybody is using the context menu or hotkeys. So the solution, obviously, is to make both the menu bar and the command bar bigger and more prominent. Right?

Microsoft UI has officially entered the realm of self-parody.

Stanga Cycling: Miksi Länsiväylä on poikkeus?:

Juuri näin, hyvää materiaalia.

stanga:

Jonkin verran on puhetta Länsiväylän muuttamisesta kaduksi, mm. Facebookissa ja Soininvaaran blogissa. En varsinaisesti koskaan ole ajatellut, että Länsiväylä tunkeutuisi erityisen syvälle kaupunkiin, kunnes katsoin karttaa ja vertasin Länsiväylää muihin moottoriteihin:

Jostain kumman…

The 2009 “remake” of The Prisoner (a TV series from 1960s) is surprisingly good. It might have gotten bad reviews in Metacritic but I seem to enjoy it anyway.

Whee, those photos look cold. Lake Baikal is one of the places I want to go - mostly for all the reasons you can see when you browse through English Russia’s photos.

Remember that sandstorm in Phoenix? Well it also got captured by talented photographers who got things quite right. See Flickr Blog for the handpicked few.

Beyonce is more or less awesome every time she performs. “Run the World” from Billboard awards includes crazy projected graphics combined with real dancers and so on. Watch it in full HD.

Beautiful plans for a passenger terminal building + bridge in Hong Kong. I really like how it all is combined into a multilevel complex that also has a park on top level. Oh, and it’s been designed bu Czech company Edit!

Where are my feeds?

Sun, 19 Jun 2011 11:30:12 +0300

I thought my recommended items from Google Reader would show up in Tumblr but it seems there’s some sort of mechanism that requires me to do some frequent logings / posts to the site itself so the feed could be live. Not cool.

Windows 8 preview video? Why not! Here’s one of the first ones I saw: production wise it’s not great but the UI itself is neat.

New Coldplay track? Overproduced. I somehow dug Viva La Vida (maybe Brian Eno had something to do with the production values?) but this one is… Meh. Like Pete P. said they’ve changed a lot since Parachutes came out.

The seven signs of failure for internet startups:

Interesting article from Venture Beat. There are huge differences in how the startups grow depending on the way they’re founded and how everything is running for the first year.

I really hope that Mango is a good competitor for Android and iOS. I dig the snappy UI and there are definitely many interesting features. I still think W7 will either live or die with the application ecosystem so grab your popcorn and wait for the phones to be released by Nokia and other vendors…

Here’s a preview video (title says review but it’s from Microsoft so I’d not go there…) So: Windows Phone 7 Update 7.5 Mango Review (by AlxTiburon)
