►
yes but can you hear me yes I can hear you
[TS]
00:00:03
◼
►
yeah and I can hear us but very strange I don't know I don't know I seriously I
[TS]
00:00:08
◼
►
spent 15 minutes and made probably 12 recordings to make sure that everything
[TS]
00:00:12
◼
►
was 5 I'm telling you I include most
[TS]
00:00:18
◼
►
half the time we include the stuff in the show like me had problems with Skype
[TS]
00:00:23
◼
►
like like mister Magoo it's like nothing can possibly know I never want to have a
[TS]
00:00:32
◼
►
podcast where it actually just plain works it's always a horrible thing is
[TS]
00:00:38
◼
►
that I work like this is what I do every day and some now just just screws up
[TS]
00:00:47
◼
►
every time that I actually mean when I testing that's fine and so is fine and I
[TS]
00:00:51
◼
►
did you know sometimes there in front of intestinal good things are going well
[TS]
00:00:54
◼
►
and then now actually using them it's a nice if they can't be any of our perfect
[TS]
00:01:01
◼
►
perfectly usable software which always functions hundred-percent so you anyway
[TS]
00:01:08
◼
►
christa Morgan thinks you do as well thank you I have so much to talk about I
[TS]
00:01:15
◼
►
am so excited because the white stuff came out and yes you excited about the
[TS]
00:01:19
◼
►
want I'm excited about the watch and also I don't have this this happens sort
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
of I feel like every time there's either a big update to an Apple product or a
[TS]
00:01:30
◼
►
preview of upcoming music well they really need that and then of course I
[TS]
00:01:35
◼
►
know the data comes out I'm going to give me this thing so I'm excited about
[TS]
00:01:40
◼
►
it but also a little late but I know I'm excited because I think it's kind of
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
cool but I also think that it is it's this weird mix of
[TS]
00:01:52
◼
►
Apple being way ahead of where they've ever been with a new product before
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
combined with that there's still a lot of mystery around it
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
there is yeah there's quite a bit of mystery as to what I mean even even with
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
the watch kids out now I feel like they're still mystery about what you'll
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
you'll actually be able to do in this sort of first round before we can build
[TS]
00:02:15
◼
►
truly need to pass on the watch for me yeah I mean I the day that it came out I
[TS]
00:02:23
◼
►
think I think was the very day maybe was not the same day I was out in San
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
Francisco because I was at the event and they announced the thing and that I was
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
down in Cupertino or not yet for the event and I came back to San Francisco
[TS]
00:02:39
◼
►
and I like put my nose together and you know Michael operate ransom and he is in
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
San Francisco now he works there is it Pinterest and we met and we had a drink
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
and end the first thing that he said to me was that this is weird because it
[TS]
00:02:54
◼
►
feels like this is like your three of the watch because there's like two
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
different sizes there's all these different bands like it feels like
[TS]
00:03:02
◼
►
third-generation Apple product like okay now we're gonna give you two sizes and
[TS]
00:03:07
◼
►
we're gonna give you choices of the styles whereas the traditional the
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
traditional way of doing an Apple product is here's the one here's the
[TS]
00:03:16
◼
►
here's the first one and there's one way and it's very limited and you get it's
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
everybody's going to have the exact same size and exact same band and you're
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
gonna like and that's it right and it just feels like they've skipped like a
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
year to end it seems the same way with the SDK like I know that it's not truly
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
native apps yet that we're we're just projecting apps from extensions from the
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
iPhone but that we don't get some huge compared to like the iPhone SDK
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
you know when that that's a click here something right and like it was just
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
upset right we don't even have the watch yet and yet we can start thinking about
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
the apps for it yes it seems incredible that is
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
yeah that's it
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
it's really that really puts it in perspective actually since going to look
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
because it's just an extension and they know that really puts it in perspective
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
because a specially when you especially when you compare it with the iPhone
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
luncheon remember Nevin you know before the SDK was ever even announced before
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
they announce anything about third-party apps he was like I'm gonna make a
[TS]
00:04:18
◼
►
website for me but that's what though that's what they'll say that it wasn't
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
people are just so mad that there was an interesting case for a long time I think
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
what made people mad was at WWDC 2007 and I wrote about this at the time and I
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
but I think it made people mad wasn't that they didn't say look we're we're
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
just not ready for it yet and you know in the future you can write ups but you
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
can't do it or not ready cuz everybody would have sent you a little
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
disappointed but we understand but what they did was a double-double TCM it was
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
Scott Forstall in their late we have a really quote unquote the words sweet
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
solution for all of you who want to write apps for this phone and everybody
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
got so excited everybody is ready to stand up everybody was ready like strong
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
the stage and then I realized you can write web apps and it was like yeah and
[TS]
00:05:14
◼
►
I called it on during fireball called it a shit sandwich you know I don't think
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
I've ever told this is a funny so that was a guest on monday was the first day
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
of WWDC 2007 and I called the data sheets in which and everybody's
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
disappointed because they set us up by calling it a sweet solution and it's
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
still it was only like five years since I been raining during fireball and I'd
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
had as I want to I started getting press credentials for the keynote and stuff
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
like that but I was a lot less popular than than during fireballs gotten to
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
this point and a day later was like Tuesday WBC and I was riding the
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
escalator
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
and right behind me was Phil Schiller and i'd never spoken to him face to face
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
in my life at that point I was like holy shit Phil Schiller home so I turned
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
around I was a and I was it was there that weird way where it's at first you
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
think I should introduce myself and anything oh my god no I know I should
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
start around pretty silent and I know I should totally get the professional
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
thing to do would be to introduce myself because I know he knew my name because I
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
know he'd sent emails and I was a hey I'm John Gruber and he was nice to meet
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
you and in it the first thing he said to me was nice to meet you and he goes I
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
gotta take it I don't think that shit so much higher and that's awesome I was so
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
blown away because I was like no fucking way he read my shit on the day of the
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
raid exactly will share their stays up late and read your blog and then we got
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
in the leg kind of an argument about like a friendly cordial argument about
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
whether or not writing web apps for the iPhone was shipped him a great that's
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
really cool that's a fun story but anyway we don't have to write should
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
sandwiches for the for the Apple watch it's actually pretty pretty awesome and
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
so incensed soon to any member when I was watching me how much he knows most
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
likely in November that seems I mean yeah just in comparison i mean just
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
seems really fast and it's like they were just really thinking about this
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
from from the beginning about how they're gonna get third-party developers
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
involved like right away which is really cool and nice to see ya I really think
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
that it shows that it's like you know I know they said when they unveiled it in
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
September that they've been working on for three years but it makes me think
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
that they've been thinking about stuff like third party apps for three years 20
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
yeah definitely you know I'm guessing that the iOS App Store is just a mean
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
that's just sort of changed you know everything and influence them a lot when
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
building is running because we have found you know it probably they're just
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
working so hard to get that first initial
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
product off the ground maybe they you know they had ideas probably for
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
third-party developers not at the outset anyway not for a while and so that's
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
pretty cool that they could envision that you know from from the beginning
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
with this and it makes me wonder like whoa what's going on with the AppleTV
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
AppleTV and that's it that's a very different but it's funny it is funny
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
though because you know what it's funny though because it's those are the two
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
things that everybody thinks our next well I mean obviously the watch is
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
definitely next they've announced it but you know all year long people have been
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
thinking you know there have been rumors that they gonna do watch but it's funny
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
because TV and the watch our sort of the extremes of computing in terms of being
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
like an Apple keeps using this word intimate that the watches the most
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
intimate thing they've ever made intimate internet but it's true I don't
[TS]
00:09:15
◼
►
think that it's I don't think that it's like marketing hype I think it means and
[TS]
00:09:21
◼
►
whether the watch is gonna be personal because it's so close to its low on your
[TS]
00:09:26
◼
►
skin all the time you know and and and the TV is the opposite is the least
[TS]
00:09:35
◼
►
intimate computing destination that they could possibly make you sit far away
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
from it you know you're you know you instead of measuring inches your
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
passively watch things right and famously
[TS]
00:09:48
◼
►
you know it's a passive device that you kind of you now you know your mind you
[TS]
00:09:54
◼
►
know kind of blanks when you're watching TV and so it's kind of funny that those
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
are the two things I don't know and I wonder though if there's like a design
[TS]
00:10:05
◼
►
connection between them
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
because the does seem though that overall their design aesthetic is sort
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
of zeroing in on a sort of style
[TS]
00:10:14
◼
►
yeah and I wonder how there could be something as as different as a watching
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
the TV if they could share a certain aesthetic I don't know oh well yeah I'm
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
in love i mean so the deputy be finally got a bit of a refreshed its not just
[TS]
00:10:33
◼
►
sort of like a new coat of paint it's not for me it's just not a big it's not
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
a huge updated just ordered like got rid of the glossiness and it's and it's more
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
in line with them like I S seven and eight but would be really cool if it
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
borrowed from the watches aesthetic I'm really I mean so far from screenshots
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
from the videos I've seen in the watch it looks beautiful but an uneven just
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
things like controlling the TV with with with a lot because the IRS at the
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
controls up a terrible i mean that's 11 little bridge but like yeah if the UIF
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
of the TV somehow be influenced by the way that would be great but I also just
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
see you I don't know I OS apps on the TV games and so you have an Apple TV I do
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
yeah I every time I mention being frustrated by the remote their physical
[TS]
00:11:31
◼
►
remote the country and I hate that its infrared because it's like our TiVo I
[TS]
00:11:37
◼
►
think we're like two generations in with Bluetooth TiVo remote so you don't have
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
to point the remote anything and you get used to that you get used to not having
[TS]
00:11:47
◼
►
to point it and that stupid Apple TV remote and I always think like a balance
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
the battery the battery is weak and that's why can't do it all by Anu stupid
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
little you know whatever the battery is a buy a new one put it in and it's
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
exactly the same and it's not the battery packs just finished he is just
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
so and it's a mean it's only like slightly better than the horrible
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
plastic one they used to come to the Apple TV n with and with mexico years
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
ago so the white right right
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
just remember just it's no good and we have a Roku 3 as well and you know it's
[TS]
00:12:27
◼
►
about the same crazy second-guessing Apple TV and just like the interfaces is
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
just us so much more it just makes me kind of said controller is also looking
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
game controller and you can plug into it and it's it's not you know sleek and
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
sophisticated it sort of chunky in a friendly design but it's so much better
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
like as an actual remote control its kinda makes me sad everytime I bring
[TS]
00:12:51
◼
►
this up especially on the show and I know there's people who who are
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
listening right now and they're already firing up their email there already
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
writing the email to me telling me this time around I stop don't send me the
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
email they're gonna say oh for the iPhone the iPhone how is worse the app
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
is everything except typing passwords rate and that's you know assuming that
[TS]
00:13:17
◼
►
the the Apple connect with the Apple TV would sometimes mine still doesn't mean
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
I can't find it and by the time the lunches and connects to Apple TV I could
[TS]
00:13:27
◼
►
have used a terrible to do whatever I need to do and yes just not just as it's
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
known to me though it's it's it's them to me the single biggest deal with Apple
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
TV is the remote honestly I don't care if they don't I would love it if they
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
added apps I'd love it if they had an SDK I don't but if they came out with
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
the exact same looking and and logical interface but just had like a Bluetooth
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
remote that just always working like every time every time I hit up it goes
[TS]
00:14:05
◼
►
up and every time I head down it was down instead of having to damn thing I
[TS]
00:14:10
◼
►
would be so much happier with this definitely so anyway I do think I think
[TS]
00:14:18
◼
►
that what could be could be a huge deal like a watch thing that knows like I and
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
I think this is possible that it could no like
[TS]
00:14:29
◼
►
not just that you're in the same house they got the same wi-fi network but if
[TS]
00:14:32
◼
►
you're close enough that you could be watching Apple TV you know so that it
[TS]
00:14:37
◼
►
would know and if there's something plane then the watch could like have the
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
playback controls automatically that would be so don't be so great that would
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
be such a be a game-changer I know that that's pushing it would and it's not
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
far-fetched it seems like that would be a pretty straightforward after them to
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
make him in nineteen people to release natively only from the watch great so
[TS]
00:15:05
◼
►
here's hoping I think Tim Cook said that it was on the Charlie Rose interview but
[TS]
00:15:10
◼
►
one of the interviews he said like you know after they announced the watch and
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
now that he's out about wearing the watch he's even said that one of the
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
things he does with the disease control as Apple TV
[TS]
00:15:21
◼
►
oh yeah I didn't mister mister so it's definitely i mean whether they're going
[TS]
00:15:27
◼
►
to ship that in the initial version or not but you know they're obviously have
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
it working you know like as a beta it's already working I can't help but think
[TS]
00:15:36
◼
►
that it's the potential is there for it to be totally it might require a brand
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
new Apple TV but if it's still only 99 bucks it's only 99 bucks so so what by a
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
new Apple TV but if it could be like you know I know that you're on you're stupid
[TS]
00:15:52
◼
►
couch watching your stupid TV so here here's the playback controls for AppleTV
[TS]
00:15:57
◼
►
pause and then you can just tap your risk deposit and get up in you know
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
refresher Brevard to river would be so great
[TS]
00:16:04
◼
►
yeah yeah yeah I'd love popcorn does not like it because the Colonels
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►
I'm a big problem is you know he has a very particular can I tell you that I'm
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
41 years old and I have only three months ago my my mother-in-law his mom
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
actually gave us this tip and it is like the greatest trip ever made me think of
[TS]
00:16:32
◼
►
it as weird I did the idea being lazy and just watching movies on the couch
[TS]
00:16:37
◼
►
you know this to use coconut oil when you cook your popcorn is the secret to
[TS]
00:16:46
◼
►

[TS]
00:23:25

thing I've been obsessed most obsessed with with the watch is the font San Fran
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
now we have and yes even import San Francisco so yeah you like it it's
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
pretty I really liked it I heard from somebody yes i'd Apple couple of weeks
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
after it was announced before they they gave them and I was asking like anybody
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
know what the name is somebody tell me
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
internally they were referring to it as in Vatika in which it makes me laugh and
[TS]
00:23:55
◼
►
I think it's so true because it feels like two-thirds Helvetica one-third den
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
which is for anybody and everybody knows how dan is just capital letters dinr
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
know it stands for but it's like a fun from germany it's like I think it I
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
think I could be making this up but I think it was created a sort of like a
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
fund for signage in Germany at some point and it really does with that's
[TS]
00:24:27
◼
►
what San Francisco looks like it looks like you know two-thirds of medical
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
one-third dead and I think it's a very very very pleasant they're really nice
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
sounds and
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
I had been wondering if it would make its own it's just seemed so natural that
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
it would create its very own specialized answer
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
and it's beautiful yeah I think one of the things that's so interesting is so
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
Microsoft has their own UI phone sex ago single weeks anyway but yeah looks like
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
forever but it's you know it's what they used for Metro and all of the modern
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
versions of windows and Google has robado which is there fun for Android
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
and the use it use it in their iOS apps to its like Google's you I find so
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
Microsoft and Google have their own custom funds for user interfaces and
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
Apple which is the most to me
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
clearly the most design oriented of the major tech corporations has used
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
Helvetica which is a great fun but it's funny it always struck me as a little
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
ironic that they don't have their own custom is there so designed focused and
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
so it's it's been a long time coming in and I'm happy to see what is happening
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
it's interesting to me that is that the the kit that you download the design
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
design resources has two versions of San Francisco displaying text which is a lot
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
of designing funds you know funds use for graphic design come with display in
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
text variants where the smaller sizes are called text and then at intended for
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
larger sizes you call it display and it changes the kerning and changes some of
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
the letter shapes I don't know of any UI fun that's had that distinction before
[TS]
00:26:31
◼
►
yeah don't know did you see there's a thing is that there was somebody has a
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
get home project where you can they
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
what what kind of there's some kind of hack you can do to the fund files to say
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
to set certain bit make it look like the system and then you can run you install
[TS]
00:26:52
◼
►
this version of San Francisco
[TS]
00:26:54
◼
►
and reboot your Mac and Yosemite runs with that as the right yes i did i did
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
see that i no i didnt I just thought as some intriguing about it and following
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
that that's a cool idea I did it did you how's it going I ran it for a day and I
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
at first I was very very excited and I liked it and I kind of had that feeling
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
like back in the day like twenty years ago when I would run like system
[TS]
00:27:24
◼
►
extensions that would change the look at the windows and stuff like that you know
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
I told he felt very cool about it and there are certain things that are
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
definitely nicer about it but overall it's like not quite right it's just a
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
little too I don't know there's something about it that doesn't work you
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
know it's it's why I know that with the UI version you know the the UI font in
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
in Yosemite that it's not just plain Helvetica Neue it's it's like oh yeah
[TS]
00:28:00
◼
►
sweet did you know just to make it better for four you somebody and in
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
particular in different sizes and shapes nicer but yes it's like their own
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
version but still you know how that it makes me think though that with San
[TS]
00:28:18
◼
►
Francisco that it makes me appreciate the way that they've sweated the details
[TS]
00:28:23
◼
►
to make a nicer as the Mac system and I wouldn't be surprised if in the future
[TS]
00:28:29
◼
►
it is this system font on iOS and Mac too but when if and when that happens
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
they're gonna have to put that same amount of work into tweaking it to make
[TS]
00:28:42
◼
►
it perfect for ya was gonna say you know the public to to let you know if if if
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
San Francisco as it exists now is made specifically for any Apple watching is
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
made for this tiny screen and they haven't really put a lot of work into
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
making it you like it you know and the larger sizes that you use when I was
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
right there would be no I could see it working mostly
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
tweak it but it's not working the system I think it's some weird combination of
[TS]
00:29:14
◼
►
like how many pixels high the font is combined with the physical size like if
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
you measure with an actual ruler how big it's going to be when you look at it
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
like it's not just like Oh make sixteen-point
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
look perfect it's make 16th . font look perfect at quarter of an inch high as
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
postal I gotta watch where it's going to be much more fun to watch it seems like
[TS]
00:29:42
◼
►
it's really I don't remember being blown away by it in the presentation and then
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
at the event when I actually got to look at the white the actual watches you know
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
hands on it looks so i cant wait to actually see what it's like it's been an
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
adjustment away from Lucida Grande at first it was strange
[TS]
00:30:07
◼
►
everywhere in and some of the special like the first really silly with iOS as
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
well as they're just like it wasn't really working for me at first but now I
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
don't know it it's it's working really well as the system on the map
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
yeah I definitely i'd like it but it's it's been in the job as somebody who
[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►
obsesses over type it's been an adjustment like chair and you know lucid
[TS]
00:30:38
◼

worked loose of a grand grand a dozen other ones since I have no idea
[TS]
00:30:44
◼

Lucida Grande do you pronounce the grantee Grande Grande yeah I don't know
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
but it would you say at Starbucks inside Grande right yeah you guys have been
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
assured that well whatever it's called it it especially worked well at small
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
sizes like you know that they hinting work that Apple did and who the people
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
who made lucid in the first place
[TS]
00:31:14
◼
►
intending it to be a great screen fun it really really worked well at very small
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
sizes like for like when you're setting like like a Preferences dialog and are
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
small text underneath the control that explains what that setting you know in
[TS]
00:31:30
◼

detail what that setting does loose it works so well at that and whenever I see
[TS]
00:31:36
◼

that now in Helvetica on Yosemite sometimes it looks a little bit not that
[TS]
00:31:40
◼
►
it looks bad but it somehow looks it strikes me as a little it just feels
[TS]
00:31:45
◼

funny but I'm getting used to it let's let's talk about yosemite so why are as
[TS]
00:31:53
◼

a UI designer one what is your overall impression now that we're a couple you
[TS]
00:31:57
◼

know he's kind of settled in you know what what are your impressions overall
[TS]
00:32:01
◼

life it's everything feels very late and it sort of feels like it's going along
[TS]
00:32:08
◼
►
with like be you know ever-increasing thinness of the actual hardware and just
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
sort of like helps everything feel like the best preserved the depth with the
[TS]
00:32:19
◼
►
the drop shadows on all the windows themselves but then having sort of
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
translucency vibrancy stuff everywhere it's overkill to me but as a sort of
[TS]
00:32:31
◼

adjusted to it I like it feels like everything is is like these nice little
[TS]
00:32:36
◼

panes of glass hovering over each other
[TS]
00:32:39
◼

you don't think it feels good I really what I really like it was all the really
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
small Excel animations that they've everywhere that they're not big in
[TS]
00:32:48
◼

flashy and they're not they don't they don't really really so it's like you
[TS]
00:32:53
◼

wouldn't really notice it too much for things like checking checkbox just in
[TS]
00:32:57
◼

meetings and a nice friendly little way you know just even even things like like
[TS]
00:33:03
◼
►
choosing something from a context menu is just slightly different just a little
[TS]
00:33:07
◼

bit more alive a little extreme year that makes sense so I feel like with you
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
somebody they've made made it so it you're a little bit more connected to
[TS]
00:33:17
◼

the UIF that makes sense after years of touchscreens I'm feeling really
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
connected to that I was feeling like with with maverick's even just feeling a
[TS]
00:33:28
◼

little setback from america especially mouse trackpad I feel like I feel like
[TS]
00:33:35
◼

you use more I feel more connected to it
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
yeah I feel like that that's a good point with the animation and I feel like
[TS]
00:33:43
◼

it's interesting because clearly the iPhone and iOS where where Apple really
[TS]
00:33:50
◼

got into that sort of make things the things you interact with on the device
[TS]
00:33:55

feel alive and feel like real names but they didn't do an iOS inspired Mac URI
[TS]
00:34:05
◼

until now
[TS]
00:34:07
◼

like this ship that whole iOS 126 era in terms of Ike bringing those ideas to the
[TS]
00:34:14
◼

Mac and they waited until after I was seven and I i mean you know like the
[TS]
00:34:20
◼

textural stuff was definitely leaning over into them a great yeah but not what
[TS]
00:34:25
◼

you see but you know I mean yeah I agree you mean like with like the trackpad and
[TS]
00:34:29
◼

like with the gestures you can do in the mouse Yeah Yeah right but also there
[TS]
00:34:35
◼

were more like textures and things in actual and apps like it was turning to
[TS]
00:34:38
◼

take our old texture they said just yea though I
[TS]
00:34:44

like what what what yosemite adds that's new is I could you said where where
[TS]
00:35:07

that's it so funny that you made that noise because it doesn't make noise but
[TS]
00:35:53

that is what it feels like to do ya like there is that sort of feeling to it do
[TS]
00:36:00
◼

you feel though as a designer that is that you have liked to redo everything
[TS]
00:36:07

or do you feel that it's not that much work to to get like rogue amoeba zaps

translucency stuff too much at least not with with the next few apps I don't know

into it I feel I feel ya I do I feel because I feel like somehow like going

00:37:04
◼

from Iowa sixth I was 74 most apps was like you really had to redo the whole
[TS]
00:37:10
◼

thing to make it feel whereas going from pre yosemite Mac to yosemite it's really
[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
to me it's a lot more so I think it's a lot less yeah it's a lot more so it's a
[TS]
00:37:26
◼

lot less work it just depends on Europe though when something like fission I
[TS]
00:37:31

feel like would would benefit from just a little bit of a skinny but then

00:37:35
◼

something like piezo which I still love my little recording outfits it's very
[TS]
00:37:40
◼

you know it's and cutie in and whimsical so just spent on that happen and how
[TS]
00:37:49
◼

much I care far in either direction it already was to begin with I guess and
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
some things will take more working on other things less work but
[TS]
00:37:59
◼

no I like I feel like piezas a good example though because piezo you know
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
and I know that this word gets overused but its school Marvic and iPod just I
[TS]
00:38:11
◼
►
think about it I saw the post but it was like celebrating an anniversary or
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
something but it was you know mentioned mentioning the old Braun physical radio
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
that sort of inspired and look at it and which is a beautiful device super
[TS]
00:38:31
◼
►
beautiful device I kind of feel like they say the anniversary of us and they
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
gave me the brown radio that inspired the use of which was an incredible gift
[TS]
00:38:42
◼
►
I'm just doing that in their house and you know what you know he's kind of a
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
dick because he is so awesome
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
know the pain the problem is he comes up with clever ideas like that and then it
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
makes you know it makes the rest of us who don't have clever gift ideas true
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
like my my idea of a good gift would be like a gift card for the iTunes Store
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
you go by you know go by the new levels for Monument Valley and whereas
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
comes up with a brilliant idea like the actual 1968 radio that inspired piezo
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
and then ships which is terrible because it's so it's so wonderful that it's
[TS]
00:39:32
◼
►
terrible because it makes you can talk that and then he's like oh yeah I was
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
just donating platelets this week just the nicest guy ever going to die and
[TS]
00:39:43
◼
►
it's too much
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
yeah exactly exactly he's giving you a wonderful gift while his other arm like
[TS]
00:39:50
◼
►
from one hand on his phone while the other
[TS]
00:39:52
◼

donating platelets terrible but I don't use I do feel though that I can happily

piezo kids gets away with secure Morphy gimmickry still on Yosemite in a way
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
that like on the iPhone with iOS 7 that sort of thing looks dated I don't know
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
there's nothing I still feel like I feel like it's just like the Mac is such a
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
it's just a much more broad platform insist there's a lot more variation
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
between UPS and and so it can still like I've been using it this whole time and
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
it's still a cutie for me and so sort of like with it but that's me with every
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
single thing I designed like you know if it's over three months old but I feel
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
like they can still get home on your toes
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
anything that's that's super textured in detail like that on iOS it just yet just
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
looks like iOS 6 and it looks really out of place
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
yeah it's it's funny because there's so many more iOS users than Mac users you
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
know maybe by inspectors 10 at least but it seems it just seems curious to me
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
that iOS is where Apple seems to be more radical with their UI design where the
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
pre Iowa seven UI aesthetic for iOS was way more school marching and more
[TS]
00:41:28
◼
►
textured and had more oh this is this looks like a pane of glass with a glossy
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
you no effect on it and it's bubbly and its textured
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
and the texture is really really rich way more over the top then the Mac ever
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
God and then when they went the other way they went way more radically in the
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
direction of ok no textures no 3d effects this is Dino again it's overused
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
word but this is flat
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
you know the buttons don't even have outlines they're just taxed and the Mac
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
both ways it never it's way more conservative to me it never went that
[TS]
00:42:14
◼
►
texture and now with yosemite where they've sort of updated it for a modern
[TS]
00:42:18
◼
►
look it's it's nowhere near as radical as I was seven and I think it's more
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
pleasing overall definitely and I think they really benefited from having you
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
know down iOS 7 you know before you somebody and so they sort of this is my
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
fault injection just guessing on the day they had all of that experience ok let's
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
I think the pendulum has swung too far in that direction like that let's get
[TS]
00:42:45
◼
►
let's strip everything down to really really minimalist design is like ok well
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
maybe that was a little too far and then you somebody feels like just just
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
nudging it back just far enough so that it's comfortable
[TS]
00:42:57
◼
►
buttons buttons and there are slight radiance here in there and I think it
[TS]
00:43:05
◼
►
when I think it works and in some ways better and I think that's why it feels
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►
more accommodating to a broader range of styles that it's still in like I said I
[TS]
00:43:17
◼
►
could still feels like a system where piezo as it is without any kind of you
[TS]
00:43:22
◼
►
know a news update
[TS]
00:43:23
◼
►
still looks it still looks right it still looks like that's you know
[TS]
00:43:27
◼
►
acceptable
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
yeah I thought it was interesting I that's sort of you know
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
I think I've touched on this before but before they unveiled yosemite and
[TS]
00:43:40
◼
►
everybody kind of knew of course they're going to do some sort of I was seven
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
style update for the Mac I really was braced for it to be a lot more radical I
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
really thought that they were going to flatten everything more you know like
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
and like you even said like where they still have the shadow effects between
[TS]
00:43:58
◼
►
windows to show you what's in front of that maybe they get rid of stuff like
[TS]
00:44:02
◼
►
yeah me too yeah and they didn't and it even really surprises me that they still
[TS]
00:44:09
◼
►
have so many settings in System Preferences that let you the user you
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
know change things like I kind of a year ago that I was seven style update to Mac
[TS]
00:44:25
◼
►
OS would have gotten rid of like the ability to change the appearance color
[TS]
00:44:31
◼
►
you know like blue graphic between yeah right then you can go it's it's
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
interesting that provided the dark sheen to it sort of came out of nowhere
[TS]
00:44:41
◼
►
because it's just seems very counter to what Apple's done for the last few years
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
just just not only much appearance you know specialization customization so
[TS]
00:44:53
◼
►
having the secondary and in person and we're talking about the be reduced
[TS]
00:45:01
◼
►
transparency and increase contrast well I don't know it's not really a hackneyed
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
accessibility preferences that you can do to change the whole look as as like
[TS]
00:45:11
◼
►
as a thing people are doing to sort of customize the look themselves which is
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
which is fun you know I did that for ya so what it is is in System Preferences
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
if you haven't done this and System Preferences go tonight it's not in the
[TS]
00:45:27
◼
►
general pain that most of the UI stuff its inaccessibility
[TS]
00:45:31
◼
►
accessibility
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
and you you can check reduced transparency and then you can also check
[TS]
00:45:38
◼
►
increase contrast and increased to increase increase contrast is the really
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
interesting one
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
yes meet you actually if you if you select increased contrast it
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
automatically selects yes yes and it's it's kind of like you and I before the
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
show we were emailing or chatting or whatever whatever the kids do but we
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
both said the same thing at the same time which is that it looks sort of like
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
a like some kind of alternate universe where the original white nineteen
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
nineties Mac OS like evolved through to today's display technology
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
you know that just completely literally like you know what blue never happened
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
like there is nothing ever like big interfere whimsical anywhere just sort
[TS]
00:46:34
◼
►
of like stayed with the you know dark outlines round buttons and things are
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
sort of got more streamlined and sleek assertive and in my system change from
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
Chicago to health advocates say yes so interesting to see you though and it's
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
it's actually really pleasantly really enjoyed having that preferences time
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
there I used it for a while maybe even close to a week and then they changed
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
turned it off and now now that we're talking i didnt again I really liked it
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►
and she said your desktop background till like a dark grey
[TS]
00:47:10
◼
►
yeah it just feels like an old methods for me it's a really need effect and and
[TS]
00:47:16
◼
►
everybody does I get it on Twitter like every three days from somebody
[TS]
00:47:22
◼
►
what is when you do things like what are the ways you can give you change the
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
volume yeah if you if you use your volume than like Thursday that icon
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
assertive I guess it has claimed pixels and it just gives a black background
[TS]
00:47:40
◼
►
rather should just be playing pixels
[TS]
00:47:43
◼
►
what happened there yeah it's like when you say there's like goofy little things
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
like that there's a few like sometimes find about answering like save dialog
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
click the buttons will be like this you when there when you're in this mode and
[TS]
00:47:57
◼
►
are not sure why that happens but now it's just there's a few little things
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
that happen
[TS]
00:48:02
◼
►
yeah there's like it just a couple of weird glitches it i mean they're
[TS]
00:48:06
◼
►
technically bug ya but it feels like a better word yeah it's like when you
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
change the volume it's like the little I don't know what you would call it is
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
like the little transparent heads up display that shows you what the volume
[TS]
00:48:24
◼
►
level is at as you're hitting the buttons on their your keyboard has round
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
rounded corners and it's like when you turn this mode on they get completely
[TS]
00:48:35
◼
►
squared off in two perfect squares but the difference between the round right
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
corners and the truly perfect squares is just filled in with black and it looks
[TS]
00:48:43
◼
►
really really congress just it's gross its gross let's face it looks like your
[TS]
00:48:52
◼
►
Mac is looking at you and has something in its teeth in your you want to like
[TS]
00:48:55
◼
►
say you want to just look at him he liked it it upsets the perfectionist in
[TS]
00:49:06
◼
►
me but overall though I kind of think it's a better look than the default
[TS]
00:49:10
◼
►
yosemite look which I which in turn I do kind of like but I feel like this is
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
even better
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
yeah it's it's really clean and everything is like super obvious which I
[TS]
00:49:24
◼
►
like and and and things just really stand out well in the
[TS]
00:49:27
◼
►
you know and like the higher contrast space I meant so I mean it's just one
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
random little things unrelated to most everything else but what the only thing
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
that bugs me the most and such and such a stupid thing is like the the forward
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
and back buttons inspiring and find out just what those navigational buttons
[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
used to be segmented button you know it's like to be used to be triangles
[TS]
00:49:53
◼
►
like left and right carrots but anyway they're like very close together and
[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
their rounded rectangles and they just don't quite touch and bugs me so much
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
and they kind of but now I know exactly what you mean is that they also sort of
[TS]
00:50:11
◼
►
in in the middle where they meet there's there's like a little like a buttcrack
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
yes they're not they're not yet still have their rounded rectangle engines
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
like just meeting up in a weird way why isn't that a segment but what happened
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
right it used to just put them slightly further apart or just make it a
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
segmented
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
exactly like they've they've tried this with the difference in a weird way where
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
it doesn't look like again and again that I think that's the actual like
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
that's actually what you call it an Xcode is segmented button but that's
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
what it used to look like it just looked like a button with segment two divided
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
whereas now it looks like two buttons that were inappropriately touched place
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
right next to each other
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
yes so much anyway and yeah I told her that I don't I don't like that it's like

◼
►
sponsoring show icons let's talk about icons like so that's one of the areas I
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
get mentioned before where I sort of expected yosemite to go in an eyeless I
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
West I away where I kind of was thinking that they're going to say okay now all
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
icons have to be circles or something like that yeah no I'm so glad they
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
didn't i mean there there are plenty of circles around the eye but I'm so happy
[TS]
00:55:15
◼
►
that they're still using objects in a lot of places I mean that they do still
[TS]
00:55:21
◼
►
and they are using little circles and a lot of like the Tilted rectangle
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
basically stuck with a lot of you know objects or representational more
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
representation of things and just made been in sort of a pared-down simplified
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
style so that they sort of look you somebody but they're still sort of fun
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
shapes and they're not all do not own one ship that's
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
makes me happy yeah it makes me when when when they showed it to us and you
[TS]
00:55:51
◼
►
know one of the things I noticed was Reno even in the air like the fault
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
Apple dock when you have a fresh install of yosemite there's a variety of icon
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
styles so you can see right away that there's no just one style and I you know
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
right that's great I was told the wrong about that and then I started I question
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
myself why did I think they were gonna do that like I kind of fun you know why
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
why did I expect that because it makes me think like of course they wouldn't do
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
that because it wouldn't work on the back but it somehow I was dreading it
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
and expect them to do that well that's sort of far fetched because I could see
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
them making sense but I'm so glad that but that's not the way things went
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
because having a doctor love circles would be really knowing you have to use
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
you know you have to really use color very clear very simple cheap inside of
[TS]
00:56:51
◼
►
your circle to identify happen
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
yeah I think it would just be really sort of Blanton and kind of annoying to
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
sort of figure out what is what evidence they be kept up to the idea of different
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
shapes and using a lot of physical objects but just just turn every skin
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
them and there's a lot more texture and depth to them even again even just the
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
ones from Apple third parties who can do whatever they want but even the Apple
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
ones have more texture and depth icon died less by far yeah you know so much
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
its yeah it's great but it's still it's definitely pared down and less than
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
previous factors like I was actually just come in Florida visiting my mom and
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
she still running metrics and yeah I was really just sort of like these shifts
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
shiny like just you know given that icons just total makeover so that
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
everything is more met
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
just tweaking the colors in the lighting and sort of letting things out
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
perspective on the rectangles are still think it's it's it's a good compromise I
[TS]
00:58:14
◼
►
think I still have one of my machines used to record podcast is still running
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
Mavericks associate's MacBook Air and it like increasingly as a week-by-week it
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
just looks like older and older and older looks it looks silly at this point
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
in particular to me the icons really really stand out like like the Finder
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
icon it's like wow yeah I don't know why they make it look like it's made up I
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
don't get it like there still is a lighting effect on the new one in
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
Yosemite there's a very nice lighting effects like there's light coming down
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
from the top
[TS]
00:58:58
◼
►
it has texture it has depth but the 1 I'm looking at them side by side right
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
now it's like the average one has this glass effect that just looks so i cant
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
say better than blaming planes exact right word yeah and it's like why why
[TS]
00:59:16
◼
►
did we do that it's like looking back at like high school pictures and it's like
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
why did I have a moment why did we think that looked at it the other one that
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
really stands out to me is the App Store icon and iTunes use the same but like
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
iTunes has the Yosemite I can't even a system like the App Store icon is this
[TS]
00:59:39
◼
►
circle you know with just an incredible amount of like glass in class sort of
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
like how ya like this
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
yeah yeah the old one was over this late and sort of in depth to it and the new
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
one is just like you know social gradient iconic you know just generic
[TS]
01:00:06
◼
►
application yeah change to you when you guys are working on apps do you do you
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
get to work on the Apple icon right away or do you wait and you know that's
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
something we do later in the process it just depends on the app already working
[TS]
01:00:23
◼
►
on a new app to talk about maybe I can you know pretty much decided like this
[TS]
01:00:28
◼
►
is the final version of the icon I think it just depends on where where
[TS]
01:00:34
◼
►
developers are sort of like we go through wire frames and we get things
[TS]
01:00:38
◼
►
pretty much where we think they should be and then there's a lot more back in
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
work and then it sort of like ok well here's the thing that I can do in the
[TS]
01:00:46
◼
►
meantime we have a lot of absentee owners some sort of always rooting
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
around what I'm working on but it just depends on the app at which point
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
there's not a hard-and-fast time that we can always change it later but I find
[TS]
01:01:03
◼
►
with most designers who are no they they they can't stand working on a nap until
[TS]
01:01:07
◼
►
they have something that could plausibly be the app icon you know like me so much
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
when there's just like some placeholder art at least you know something like
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
this may be a right like in other words the best way to get some sort of
[TS]
01:01:29
◼
►
plausible app icon idea out of you would be to make a have engineering creative
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
build the icon is just like you know some clipart from the internet
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
cause it'll get there as soon as you see it you'll be like I need to immediately
[TS]
01:01:46
◼
►
drop everything and make something so that the next bills I'm so not allowed
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
to do that
[TS]
01:01:52
◼
►
yeah to get that is exactly what I would do and then so you have to sort of be
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
reined in the icon right now you know play through the things you need to do
[TS]
01:02:05
◼
►
we really need this sign up dialogue done because we can't use the app until
[TS]
01:02:11
◼
►
we have a sign up that I've got to know I have to fix it
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
yeah there's a lot of prioritizing like we often ship have different priorities
[TS]
01:02:25
◼
►
as far as work on the morning Network Preferences window you know but that's
[TS]
01:02:35
◼
►
that's how I don't know I cons to me it's it's funny because I i've always
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
said this thing people argue about icons more than any other thing in software
[TS]
01:02:49
◼
►
design I don't say user interfaces because it's the one that even if you're
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
not a designer it's just a single point of entry and it represents the whole lab
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
so it is important and yet you identify the Apatow when you're just switching
[TS]
01:03:10
◼
►
back and forth between apps quickly at-a-glance he reminds users have lunch
[TS]
01:03:18
◼
►
and so it's definitely important but it's truly as important as the amount of
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
argument that happens over changes to icons like people are still scared about
[TS]
01:03:32
◼
►
the new icons in Yosemite because you can't please everybody all the time
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
sure so I think the icons overall I think they look much better but like for
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
example years I like most of what here's one that I don't like I don't like the
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
System Preferences icon
[TS]
01:03:49
◼
►
it's sort of and it's it's got like two strong the lighting effect and to
[TS]
01:03:57
◼
►
realistic of the gear it's like super photo Rick it doesn't fit with it
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
doesn't fit with each other's yeah it somehow I don't know it looks to me it
[TS]
01:04:09
◼
►
looks like other great especially with the green that's just looks very like
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
it's kind of like between the subtle gradients on everything else and then
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
like trying to go more photorealistic it's so realistic enough to be like the
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
old blingy style but it's more realistic than the other ingredients used
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
elsewhere and other phones and so yeah it's just kind of weird and I'm just
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
like having it being just like being in a circle in a box like that gray out of
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
boxes very plant in dearborn yeah yeah yeah and I the only thing I dislike is
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
this better than the one on iOS but that's interesting I like the new
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
support to you yeah I do I don't know what I did but I also wish that it was
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
on iOS I wish the day would yeah I guess it sort of is reminiscent of the one on
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
iOS but this one is that the iOS one is is a circle and they've just put the
[TS]
01:05:19
◼
►
Circle in the Square they're technically they're super ellipses yes yes
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
it was like they wanted to be so I don't know why not just make the compass be
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
the super relapse you know make the whole thing blew and put the compass
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
dial on that why put the Circle in the Square it seems seems forced to me into
[TS]
01:05:54
◼
►
the lighting effects in the coloring in the gradient on the one on Damascus is
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
sharper cleaner but it's really wasn't the old
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
Safari icon on iOS to fill the entire rounded rectangle at that point I think
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
so i think that it did you make more than they do you know the the circle
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
inside this work was underweight square saying it doesn't really do anything or
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
make any sense just courses that the entire icon to be sort of smaller so
[TS]
01:06:32
◼
►
yeah I'm looking at an old screenshot from I was six and yes the old Safari
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
icon to hold the blue felt the whole square right yeah I feel like all they
[TS]
01:06:46
◼
►
need to do is just redraw do it the same way industry Dr without just just yeah
[TS]
01:06:52
◼
►
yeah exactly just make it map make it a need to do but here we are just seems to
[TS]
01:07:02
◼
►
me that people people bitch about icons and icon but like you like people bitch
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
about them
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
disproportionately 22 how much they actually have to deal with them because
[TS]
01:07:17
◼
►
it's so easily encapsulated you know it's it's designer it's the same thing
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
when you ever you pick color and it's likely you'll get into arguments with
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
you know whether it's like a client relationship or whether it's like you
[TS]
01:07:35
◼
►
know like with you I wear your fault I'm at a place but I think you can get an
[TS]
01:07:40
◼
►
argument over color
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
that will last for hours because it's so easily in comp you know there's there's
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
no subtlety to it you can just say I don't like that color and then all of a
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
sudden you know two people are jointly using the color picker to pick a new
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
color and it just goes on icon yes yes and everyone has a very strong opinion
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
about them but there's no one there is no one who doesn't want to lay in
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
whereas you know you're designing a sidebar something like that people are
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
less interested I guess but everyone wants to get their input when it's not
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
found any nineteen makes sense because it is you know the gateway to the app
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
and the thing that represents the opposite holds it is really important
[TS]
01:08:28
◼
►
thing and it tends to be more fun and more interesting think so people just
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
jump on that
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
yeah it's like with us IQ designing a sidebar and you need like a gear button
[TS]
01:08:39
◼
►
to get to see you know settings for the sidebar and lower right lower left hand
[TS]
01:08:47
◼
►
and if you put it in lower right of the sidebar and somebody things should be
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
lower left don't just say like gently like I don't know maybe this and if it's
[TS]
01:08:56
◼
►
right it feels like maybe more natural more natural if it was in the lower left
[TS]
01:09:00
◼
►
and I'll say it like an open-ended question like that whereas if they don't
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
like the iconic be like this icon terrible
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
thank you you don't get like this sort of
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
of you know maybe kind of do something different feedback with icons that you
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
get with other things like should have been lower left lower right should we
[TS]
01:09:24
◼
►
drop box around these controls because their group together you know things
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
like that everybody sort of does that you no more I don't know the feedback is
[TS]
01:09:36
◼
►
always a little bit more humane with stuff like that
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
yeah definitely very very passionate about their icons 01 thing about items
[TS]
01:09:48
◼
►
and then this isn't it is not about icon design but just one little thing about
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
you send me that I'm kind of sad about is when you drag and i cant out of the
[TS]
01:09:57
◼
►
docket doesn't do the little proof animation anymore but you still have the
[TS]
01:10:01
◼
►
proof because but instead it just has removed there's a little popup that
[TS]
01:10:05
◼
►
hovers over this is removed and then you dragged away and it does sound we don't
[TS]
01:10:09
◼
►
get that little like smoke inhalation
[TS]
01:10:12
◼
►
you know and that's all that i dont think that I'm doing it right now I
[TS]
01:10:19
◼
►
don't think I removed anything from my dog until just now I just noticed this
[TS]
01:10:24
◼
►
weird remove yeah yeah it's just a little I mean maybe it's more obvious
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
because the smoke was whimsical they could have made it in the kind of
[TS]
01:10:35
◼
►
changed it so I don't know I like I do like they can get the little bit like
[TS]
01:10:45
◼
►
the little by little sparkly surround a new app that you haven't lunch yes like
[TS]
01:10:52
◼
►
little likes it would be overkill if it was like on it and everything but just a
[TS]
01:10:58
◼
►
little hint it takes to keep things like that but it's yet but it's funny that
[TS]
01:11:03
◼
►
you still get the little comfort you don't have the information anymore
[TS]
01:11:06
◼
►
yeah and it's a good contrast to this Barclays and launched under my eye to
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
feel like with launch center like somebody made that animation like I
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
don't think its new I think it's exactly the same sparkly animation that was
[TS]
01:11:22
◼
►
there before yosemite
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
maybe they'd be tweaked it but it looks very similar to me I can't help but
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
think that there was somebody who made and they loved it and then yes you know
[TS]
01:11:33
◼
►
we're gonna do this you know we're going to redesign the whole OS you know for
[TS]
01:11:37
◼
►
ten point and then we're going to flatten everything we're gonna get rid
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
of all the stuff and then they like secretly were like oh god please to
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
comfort us partly please don't come here you know nobody nobody ever like filed
[TS]
01:11:50
◼
►
the radar like this weird thing and they're like sure frankly think it does
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
I liked it is there but it does kind of stick out I think yeah yeah it just
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
doesn't really fit but its I still just like it and it works because it's sort
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
of like a 10 it's just a random rare thing like it's not you know there
[TS]
01:12:14
◼
►
aren't things like that all over the POS so it's fine it just happens in that one
[TS]
01:12:19
◼
►
place and it's my little the obvious thing to do would be to copy the Iowa
[TS]
01:12:27

style just put a blue dot next to the apt name if it's updated so boring it is
[TS]
01:12:35
◼

and it's it's just one of those funny things though we're like overall like I
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
said you know that overall the Mac is more to me more conservative you I was
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
then I West but like the spark movies and launch center is in no way blaming
[TS]
01:12:54
◼
►
like way more bling out in the last hour for sure yeah but it just in that one
[TS]
01:13:01
◼

place in the rest of it doesn't look like the rest of it you know it's in
[TS]
01:13:04
◼

fine like the iComfort sinn fein you get this you know I seen a frosted glass
[TS]
01:13:11
◼

effect over your of your background then search for everything else looks like it
[TS]
01:13:16
◼

but then you get the little sparkly
[TS]
01:13:22
◼

this is and this is one of those things to that I wondered about and I maybe
[TS]
01:13:27
◼
►
it'll never happen but i speaking of senator I sort of expected that when
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
Apple eventually did the ok let's do a major redesign of hours 10 that I
[TS]
01:13:43
◼
►
expected that the Finder would be replaced with launch center as the sort
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
of like starting point of the OS when you first log in with nothing launched I
[TS]
01:13:54
◼
►
thought that they would switch to launch center which is you know it's it's
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
pretty much the Mac version of the island home screen that they went that
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
they might do that but it makes sense now that you mention it would be an
[TS]
01:14:11
◼
►
analogy to to the home screen to be just out there well and I think I wonder and
[TS]
01:14:17
◼
►
I just one of those things where I would love to I would love to just find out
[TS]
01:14:21
◼
►
inside scoop as to whether they thought about it or not but never talked about
[TS]
01:14:26
◼
►
it but I wonder how much how I wonder how much of it is that you know maybe
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
they would like to and if the Mac was a brand new thing that's exactly what they
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
would do but they can't do it so many people save all their crap to the
[TS]
01:14:41
◼
►
desktop and the desktop
[TS]
01:14:43
◼
►
be there because they're so loaded with all the files and random stuff right
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
because you know for everybody who is technically adept enough to know that
[TS]
01:14:54
◼
►
the desktop is really just a folder in your home folder you know
[TS]
01:15:00
◼
►
there's other people who if they logged in and they saw nothing but apps they
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
would think I'm I got all my files on my desktop gone over 800 people would freak
[TS]
01:15:10
◼
►
out and share I don't know I can't help but think that that might be the only
[TS]
01:15:13
◼
►
thing that's keeping them from doing it I don't know I would be interesting to
[TS]
01:15:19
◼
►
see if any if anything's which is more towards that sort of moves in that
[TS]
01:15:23
◼
►
direction but the difference in the future do you save files to your desktop
[TS]
01:15:29
◼
►
or is it or is it my desktop right now has seven things on it and it's
[TS]
01:15:36
◼
►
temporary things I tend not to leave a member too long it's a sort of something
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
like I need to follow up on this thing and I'm gonna leave it on my desk I sort
[TS]
01:15:46
◼
►
of go through and and clean things up and I don't think anything here is but
[TS]
01:15:54
◼
►
yes it's clean but it's not littered with with things either and it's all
[TS]
01:16:00
◼
►
things are sort of a temporary nature that I don't like things like they're
[TS]
01:16:03
◼
►
all deleted right now it wouldn't be a big deal I was about to say that I keep
[TS]
01:16:08
◼

a very need to stop and looked and I had to open a window to get the county of 25
[TS]
01:16:12
◼

items my desktop so it's not need it all but I do the same thing know where it's
[TS]
01:16:18
◼

I think everything is pretty recent dates I'm sorting by date and the oldest
[TS]
01:16:25
◼

thing is from October 15 so everything is from the last month and I do and then
[TS]
01:16:31
◼

I'll get in like my physical office my real world this the room that a man has
[TS]
01:16:37
◼

ever recorded right now is a mess it's like Andy Rooney's office its papers and
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
books in boxes and stuff but I do I keep a new computer and a 12 month or so I
[TS]
01:16:48
◼
►
just like get everything off yeah exactly the sort of cleanup
[TS]
01:16:55
◼
►
bugs me after while having too much stuff there
[TS]
01:17:00
◼
►
yeah it's like I feel like if my office is a massively to my computer can be
[TS]
01:17:05
◼
►
need and it's so it seems so much easier to clean up your desktop than it is to
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
clean my room so I do but it always blows me away when there's when I see
[TS]
01:17:18
◼
►
people who have like seriously like a hundred 200 things on their desktop like
[TS]
01:17:23
◼
►
everything they've ever done right about things like my OCD I noticed though I
[TS]
01:17:38
◼
►
did notice that so Jonas is 10 he's starting to use a Mac way more than he
[TS]
01:17:46
◼
►
used to use to really just use like I was devices
[TS]
01:17:49
◼

homework and stuff like that and without me ever like I never really liked never
[TS]
01:17:57
◼
►
really sat down and showed him I here's how do you just let them figure out on
[TS]
01:18:02
◼
►
so he just naturally saves files to the desktop all of these files are an
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
interesting notes and stuff like that plan crafted so I thought that was
[TS]
01:18:16
◼
►
pretty interesting because I kind of wondered whether that was like an
[TS]
01:18:19
◼
►
old-school Mac habit like from the old days that people have carried over or
[TS]
01:18:23
◼
►
you know did like would somebody like him you know really you know really only
[TS]
01:18:28
◼
►
started using a Mac and the last year or two with a with a naturally do that and
[TS]
01:18:35
◼
►
he does he does save stuff to just naturally just saves files to the
[TS]
01:18:38
◼
►
desktop I don't know why that is surprising instead of any service and
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
just thinking like if you
[TS]
01:18:45
◼
►
for the first time and you gotta save dialog for the first time you know
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
there's a default directory called documents I would imagine that people
[TS]
01:18:55
◼
►
would say things to their documents folder
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
well I'm not sure I wonder if it's because the desktop is like the one
[TS]
01:19:09
◼
►
place where I know that you can you know you can change the view options for any
[TS]
01:19:14
◼
►
window in the Finder to mister column icon but it's the one place that always
[TS]
01:19:20
◼
►
icon view and you can arrange things spatially and say I've got this file and
[TS]
01:19:26
◼
►
I wanted over here on the left is going to be on the left and you drag it over
[TS]
01:19:29
◼
►
there and it stays there as opposed to be that's my that's my hunch but I
[TS]

something and you never know what super abilities and I said that when they had
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
Super Bowl 50 which would be super bowl well that they should have that's when
[TS]
01:23:10
◼
►
they should have dropped the Roman numerals stick and yes well it turns out
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
Super Bowl 50 hasn't happened in its next year
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
next year's Super Bowl 50 it's gonna be in San Francisco and they've already
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
announced that that's exactly what they're going to do they're gonna drop
[TS]
01:23:31
◼
►
the Roman numeral stick and it's just super bowl 50 50 so nice because I think
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
that's so much better and not nice because five minutes on the podcast two
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
weeks ago saying complained they should have done a couple years ago when Super
[TS]
01:23:50
◼

Bowl food but it hasn't happened so let me get that out there because I keep
[TS]
01:23:54
◼

getting emails from people saying dude Super Bowl fifties next year and they're
[TS]
01:23:58
◼

doing exactly what I can't take any credit for it well before the show so
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
they got that right
[TS]
01:24:08
◼
►
here's a question for you ok with the watch kit SDK that Apple released this
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
week Apple included what they called
[TS]
01:24:20
◼
►
design resources something like that the thing that came out fine but it also
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
came with a bunch of PSD files Photoshop files for both software layouts and
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
things like it's like a typographic grid that shows you all of the types sizes
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
and not specified by like a number like saying oh gimme sixteen-point fine it's
[TS]
01:24:45
◼
►
like give me caption give me headline give me a hard time yeah we have all of
[TS]
01:24:52
◼
►
those sort of styles established in there that really want you to stick with
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
their self-styled right well the idea behind right and using those styles
[TS]
01:25:02
◼
►
means that you don't have to worry about the difference in physical size between
[TS]
01:25:06
◼
►
the 30 8mm watching them yes that's right
[TS]
01:25:11
◼
►
presumably maybe next year two years from now maybe they'll be a 44
[TS]
01:25:14
◼
►
millimeter wide maybe there will be a 36 million and your your stuff all just
[TS]
01:25:19
◼
►
work because it's all relative sizes and stuff like that which i think is
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
probably the way to go I think it's you know yeah I think and yeah that's smart
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
way to set about from the outside here's my question of my question is I thought
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
it was so interesting that they shipped all these things as PSD files do you do
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
you as a designer do you do you do a lot of work in Photoshop oh yes every yeah
[TS]
01:25:45
◼
►
that's that's mostly use
[TS]
01:25:48
◼
►
yeah they're just really isn't anything that's like more versatile or better for
[TS]
01:25:56
◼
►
doing what I do not yet anyway so I spent I spent a lot of time in Photoshop
[TS]
01:26:01
◼
►
I thought that was so interesting to me like a concession that Photoshop is the
[TS]
01:26:07
◼
►
defacto standard UI design great yeah I think it's sort of industry-standard but
[TS]
01:26:15
◼
►
it's interesting and it's funny but they do that with the state faces because
[TS]
01:26:19
◼
►
just the way that Photoshop printers Texas terrible
[TS]
01:26:24
◼
►
and especially compared to the way but just reduce its you have these different
[TS]
01:26:32
◼
►
you know if you can you can change the display of take place from like Chris
[TS]
01:26:39
◼
►
too strong to small changes things a little bit and sometimes it works and
[TS]
01:26:44
◼
►
sometimes it doesn't
[TS]
01:26:45
◼
►
everything just read so much more clearly if it's if it's rendered
[TS]
01:26:48
◼
►
programmatically rather than through Photoshop psd yeah with work on Vesper
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
with whiskas he does everything and he's you know total Photoshop die hard like
[TS]
01:27:02
◼
►
again like me doing what he's eight hours a day in Photoshop and I have
[TS]
01:27:07
◼
►
always refrained from complaining about the way type looks because I know that
[TS]
01:27:11
◼
►
it's not like that yeah the same rendering its like text is affectively
[TS]
01:27:18
◼
►
like for placement only like here's how much space it will take up wait until
[TS]
01:27:23
◼
►
the app is actually a nap and then bitch about the type have you heard of this
[TS]
01:27:28
◼
►
app sketch know when i when i i twittered that pointing out that you
[TS]
01:27:40
◼
►
know that Apple shipped all these things as Photoshop things and that is the
[TS]
01:27:44
◼
►
defacto standard and I got all these people saying that no everybody's using
[TS]
01:27:49
◼
►
sketch these days to do to DUI design and it looks like a call at I've never
[TS]
01:27:56
◼
►
used it but now on their website I think like someone is linked to it before and
[TS]
01:28:03
◼
►
I just haven't really given at the time of day
[TS]
01:28:05
◼
►
to check out for sure but I look into your design and prototyping tools things
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
like that and they use them like supplemental I don't know i'm just still
[TS]
01:28:19
◼
►
live in Photoshop for most of the time now and and you like super complex like
[TS]
01:28:26
◼
►
layers and yeah well just tons and tons of groups that I don't often are
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
different views and different states within a few so yeah it's pretty
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
complicated it's like one of my favorite things I don't really use Photoshop
[TS]
01:28:43
◼
►
anymore personally but I like to watch somebody who's really good at Photoshop
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
use Photoshop and then they quickly through and they have all these groups
[TS]
01:28:50
