Otro que muerde el polvo

De acuerdo, la gracia de las tablets es que retiran la complejidad del manejo de los sistemas. Re-agregarla es un desproposito.

Primero, carece de sentido a vista del usuario final que sufre tanto de los enredos de los SO normales como de nuestros propios programas y segundo, el que haya un SO "cerrado" a mayor o menor grado no es un detergente para los usuarios técnicamente inclinados.

En este asunto parece que muchos "expertos" en sistemas olvidan que son la minoría, y que nosotros somos los que le servimos a los demás, a sus necesidades... no al revés.

With the iPhone OS as incarnated in the iPad, Apple proposes to do something about this, and I mean really do something about it instead of just talking about doing something about it, and the world is going mental.

Not the entire world, though. The people whose backs have been broken under the weight of technological complexity and failure immediately understand what's happening here. Those of us who patiently, day after day, explain to a child or colleague that the reason there's no Print item in the File menu is because, although the Pages document is filling the screen, Finder is actually the frontmost application and it doesn't have any windows open, understand what's happening here.

The visigoths are at the gate of the city. They're demanding access to software. they're demanding to be in control of their own experience of information. They may not like our high art and culture, they may be really into OpenGL boob-jiggling apps and they may not always share our sense of aesthetics, but they are the people we have claimed to serve for 30 years whilst screwing them over in innumerable ways. There are also many, many more of them than us.
