Hello all,

After reading and posting here for a while, I believe that a great
deal of our unresolved disagreements are caused by the various types
of projects we work on. Certainly the consumer facing information web
site has different design constraints than the inward facing
corporate application. These may not be taken into account when
discussing our favorite approach such as UCD or GCD or whatever it is
Hoekman does (sorry Robert, just messing with you).

Apple TV

With all the hype over the iPhone, why is it that the Apple TV has gone so
.... unnoticed?

My wife envisions a future where her computer and television are one. You
simply download shows and movies - whatever you want - and watch them when
you want, using the same screen, the same box, the same account. Always tied
to you, so if you move or buy a new console, it doesn't matter, it's all
still yours. Bored with Law and Order? Check your email with the wireless
keyboard. (Not, this is not WebTV. And yes, my wife is pretty cool.)

The Apple TV brings us a small step closer to this.

Auto Suggest Behavior - erasing information?

Jon,

My first reaction is that the autocomplete pattern is not the
appropriate solution to the problem being addressed.

For my money, autocomplete is best used when the user is allowed to
enter anything they desire. That is, they are not picking an item from a
predefined list. It's great for searches or filters.

However, if you have a finite set of data that is relatively large, I
think autocomplete can cause more problems for exactly the reasons you
describe. Perhaps it might be better to separate the list of options and
its input selection from the autocomplete input area.

Community Design

Has anyone had experience doing interaction design or development of a
customized community using these solutions?

* Propero's CommunityCM http://www.prospero.com/index.htm
* Telligent's Community Server http://communityserver.org/

Or built one using the Django open source framework?

* Django http://www.djangoproject.com/

I'd love to hear about experiences with the solution providers above.
And see example community sites.

Jony Ive aka Apple's design guru. But what aboutIxD?

When talking about success - we have hardly broached the subject of memes, fashion and early adopter behavior. I would contend that the white ear buds were as powerful a signal that a person was an iPod early adopter as the weird look of the Honda Hybrid. Apple has inherent cache and fashion power at this point that is really working form them. It also works against them at time as well.
