Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".

make sure you don't put more than four controls within a 2000x2000px area. you don't want people to get confused

i don't understand why people try to modify or improve scrollbars, they're a literally perfect ui widget

they're janky on infinite scrolling sites. i've heard of alternative scrollbar-like widgets for that case but never seen one myself, it's always a jumping, shrinking handle

The only way I'd like infinite scroll would be that it stopped after like 5 pages and as soon as you open the site, the scroll bar got tiny as if those 5 pages of content were already on the page. That way there's no jumping around.

don't forget waiting for it to scroll page by page by itself to bring you back to where you were if you accidentally navigate away and hit back

jakob nielsen and don norman are great at pointing out things that are wrong and saying how stuff should work but neither of them has designed much of note [particularly neilsen]

similarly with cooper whose solution to everything is "take cooper classes [where you won't learn to design stuff]"

We can be more general here - the design of vaginas is terrible. How many users even know there's a clitoris unless they're told? How are you supposed to know what to do with all those flaps and flanges? On the other hand, a cock affords sucking, a butt affords loving. And that, op, is why im gay
