Conversely, large companies will have more people in important positions, such as Android as there are many versions of entrepreneurs into the dog, usually twice the iOS developers in dealing with related work.

But in fact, many start-up companies, ten people or less able, but you need some job wears several hats, the corresponding need to recruit or to team up when note as far as possible selected experienced and motivated team.

　　Raymond Chen is a senior developer at Microsoft and "semi-official Microsoft historian", he said Microsoft decided this is it considered, because not everyone speaks English.

　　What's that supposed to mean? Raymond Chen explains that for English speakers, Alt+Q may be a very reasonable and very intuitive operations, Quit, after all, is a word in English, but this is not true for users who use other languages. In addition, the keys of the keyboard layouts of different languages is one of the main reasons.

　　He said: "If you are in France, you will find the letter ' q ' is not in the letters on the left point. This means that if you're in a different language, not only the hot key letter, and even though we decided that Q is Quit, in France you have to find where Q. "

　　This fulfils, Alt+F4 no matter what corner of the world, always in a fixed location on the normal Windows keypad. Michael Kors iPad Cases

Come on look through the glass Google Glass

Well, there is no doubt that Google glasses (Google Glass) must be one of today's hottest keywords--Google open this book, anyone can write to Twitter or Google Plus a quote describing themselves with glass doing, fortunately, it will be selected. And the public a propaganda video, below. Therefore, no different, love rare to share the video here, talk about this said something that changed the world:

OK, what is up, everybody? Love rare think's, at least from currently view, Google glasses of these stunt, are too had frivolous, also no real let people produced sold kidney impulse of function, missing real moved heart of "revolution", most when, it more like is a voice of head wearing type camera, with to we of feel and day of Siri near similar, even, vicious is to said, those kept in front jumped out of tips box, let it like very has bed Qian of group eunuch, dang you is hard taste of when, they is in aside refers to pointing points-- The Emperor, that Sprint is so handsome. (Oh, by the way, has not finished, it may just say Awesome. ） MCM case

I don't like it. So, I would like to say that this obvious is Google's release of a product, is a group of eunuchs in the back--we need the birth of augmented reality, and non-interference and abduction of reality.

Look around, like a piece of glass? Can be found, because of the need to wear glasses to do a variety of activities, so the frame is flexible, at least, how you twist it with no problem. Then, glasses, the core of those things? Their intensity and how?

Video shows some of the applications. How much Americans are like shooting video? Short promotional video, glasses video command appears n times. MCM iPhone 6 Plus Case

This is a function causes a lot of people cheering, real time translation. But I don't understand where you come from "used"?

So, that's what it's all about, so far, I think glass is still just a high-tech toy. What do you think?

No interface for smart devices interact Henri gave you inspiration

Birth created a need for smart devices allow designers to solve new problems, among which the most important is the interface: how to do to have a no small screen devices or appliances and the user to interact with it? This is a branding and design firm Method have been thinking that they developed the Henri, this was a small device and user interaction, making it easier for designers to explore the UI of the device in the future.

Henri intentionally as a connected home products, such as Nest, Philips Hue and Leeo Smart Alert. Two metal knob Control Panel connected to Henri, enables designers to easily experience the interface elements, and do not need to have a lot of technology: for example, when the LED lights in after receiving the command, in order to respond to what is the most suitable LED lighting pattern and color; or in some cases ought to play sound. By simply turning the knob, the designer can create a variety of lights, sound effects and flares.

Over the past 15 years, the Method to do a screen-based design, but with the rise of smart products, and smart home arise, Method that a growing number of products need, even though no screen also can interact is through light and sound. And in the case of no screen, only light and sound how can I make user aware of and then so that they can understand the content of signals reflected, no confusion is the Method value.

Without full consideration of the design when smart device the outgoing light signal or sound signal will confuse users: If your GoPro red LED light starts blinking, this means that it is in the video, still says it is running out of power.

Henri is merely representing the Method part of the effort to develop interesting interface design, Method originally was posted on the IxDA Conference held in San Francisco in December of Henri.

Products in the experiment also made a number of important lessons: for example, increase the frequency of flashing lights or sound, is fairly straightforward for anyone to express urgency; Of course there are specific colors to convey certain State, such as the red warning color. But you want to create a smart device common language that everyone can understand, still take years of effort.

Traditional graphical user interfaces at least with pop-ups and prompts associated with them to explain what they do. Challenge for the designer is to figure out how to let future devices without a ToolTip and the pop-up window under the same intuitive. Henri is like a Rosetta Stone, let us try and decode tomorrow interface. GUCCI iPhone 6 Cases

Higher cold niche Olio although thousands of tables to go

At this critical juncture to prepare for the smart watch, there's a rhythm of the moth. Now entire watch market has not only the three kingdoms, but apart.

Google Android Wear, Samsung, Apple, Sony, Pebble, month table, there are the traditional manufacturers of both ready in their eyes on this cake.

But at a time like this, Olio "know not of."

According to theverge reported, today the Model One series watch.

Lot of products handled Steve Jacobs, President, iPod, and iPhone, Beats, HP, were he once handled products; and his team members had come from is not small, Pixar, Movado level.

Luxury appearance and practical experience Vans iPhone 5

Compared to currently available technology fully watch, Model One handcrafted, waterproof stainless steel exterior, glass surfaces, as well as exquisite bracelet, unique patented design, plus two days of battery life time (longer than the Apple! ), Priced from USD 595 (silver chain strap version of the price is $ 645; black chain strap version costs $ 745), making it one of the tables in the second trench-nature than gold Apple fruit table Watch at a distance. But even at that price, and let a lot of people.

It is worth mentioning that, without any buttons on the watch. But as Motorola's Moto 3,601, Model One also has a length section of the screen, but at the top, like Moto 360 "flat tire" upside down.

In fact, Model One has started to design two years ago, far earlier than the point in time now see Android Wear and Apple Watch.

Watch as a normal watch on the market and, via the Internet with smart phones or Bluetooth connection; the only difference is, two-way choice--whether it be fruit or Android system compatible it free.

FastCompany pointed out that its software is not unrelated, is not as simple as just as a normal watch push notification information for smartphones, you "want to watch phone or cell phone" vacillating between; but through the past and the future (the "before" and "after") reminded to plan your day. Reminder including telephone reminder before telling you may forget what happened today. Remind you later try to help you schedule rest time, provided you stay organized recommendations (for example, mute the phone after the meeting). And, according to the official said Olio on the user's "set-up", will become more and more understand the owner's taste.

No, uncle and we do not apply

However, watch top is cold, it is not compatible with any third-party applications. In response, CEO Jacobs mean companies don't want people to simply watch another on your Smartphone:

"We hope that users do not need to find specific information as to be calculated to open an application, because important information is present in the watch. " cover iPhone Vans

Olio's strategy may be caught up in perfection of survival strategies, in order to avoid rolling were Android and Apple watch, the conservative policies of the application can only be closed to maintain watches its own uniqueness in order to bring more niche markets.

We sell is feeling

Jacobs's idea is that small is beautiful.

"We're like most traditional wineries or the oldest coffee shop, is committed to producing high quality products. "

Are exhibited samples from Switzerland luxury watch manufacturers, and a Rolex or Omega is different, this small workshop production only a very small number of watches every year.

Watches + homegrown software factory setting, can satisfy the appetites of users? Olio hold 0 sales expectations are now taking reservation, two style limited edition of 500, is scheduled for sale this summer. From Pebble on Kickstarter to raise numbers, #10 # of achievement has been reached, compared with Olio is also a startup will bring a lot of pressure in terms of sales, even ran out of Olio 1000 luxury smart watches all, Apple is worth only 4 18K gold Watch and several more.

In this pursuit of anything massive, fast production of the age of consumerism, can have such a company to do with today's most popular products, but selling the rarest of feelings, "though thousands of tables to go" spirit are rare. Olio, how about the future? We'll see.
