Lukas Mathis’s Skype 5 Ideas

Lukas Mathis:

After complaining bitterly about Skype 5, I should probably offer some suggestions on how to improve it. Redesigning somebody else’s product is always a tricky business. You don’t know why they made the decisions they made. You don’t have the data they have. You don’t know what constraints they had. So this is not meant as a «here’s how Skype should look like» article. Instead, these are five ideas that might make Skype better.

Very thoughtful ideas, and some great links at the end to discussion by others.

My Mom Reviews the iPad, Her First Computer

I said this from the very beginning of the iPad revolution. The iPad is all the majority of computer "users" need. For the majority of people, their computer is there for them to consume content. The iPad makes is quick and easy to access the web, keep in touch with friends and family and share your photos and links.

More importantly, it's done with simplicity. Now, if only Apple can cut out the need for a home computer for updating and syncing the iPad, then there will be nothing to hold it back.
