Why is Siri important?
It is perhaps easy to discount Siri as just another Voice recognition application, albeit a rather good one. Siri it turns out is far more than this. It is far more than the Artificial Intelligence infrastructures that are dynamically used. It is also far more than the continual learning and contextual awareness systems. Siri is all this and something that could only be held to the definition of true synergy, e.g.: “Two or more things functioning together to produce a result not independently obtainable”. None of the individual parts are “new” but the combination Siri created has never really been seen before.

User Experience For Mobile Apps- RepairPal
RepairPal is a mobile app that makes locating automative shops and estimates much easier. As the owner of an older vehicle, this mobile app has become a close companion. While RepairPal’s user experience is already exceptional, it too can improve.
Let’s consider a common scenario (common if you’re in the state of Texas). I need to get an estimate of how much it will cost to get my A/C diagnosed. Here is the current process for doing so:
This seems harmless enough. I input my vehicle’s make and model then search through categories until I find “Air Conditioning Diagnosis.” However, this process fails to show that I had to sift through 10 categories and 114 subcategories until I could arrive at the Air Conditioning Diagnosis subcategory. Here’s a quick screenshot of each of those categories and sub-categories in an Excel spreadsheet.
The problem is not the amount of choices available. An application that must accommodate an array of repairs for an array of vehicles shouldn’t aim to minimize the number of car repair choices available. Additionally, the choices are arranged under very intuitive categories. However, users shouldn’t have to sift through that much information to find what they are looking for.
By tweaking the presentation of the categories, an improved user experience can be achieved. Our first design option is inspired by the heavily practiced tabbed formation from web design.
The user is forced to process fewer amounts of information up front, while still being provided the same amount of information. Our second design option is a [liberally formatted] button approach.
As you can see there are some visual symmetry issues to resolve with the layout of the buttons, but the main idea is to guide the user from one clump of information to the next instead of dumping everything on him or her at once. Reveal what the user needs to know in the present and conceal what they need to know in the future.
As I said before, I am a huge fan of the RepairPal app. I have already saved myself a lot of money and heartache by consulting the application. But with these minor design improvements, the RepairPal app can easily go from exceptional to extraordinary.

Software glitch nixes voter registration of nearly 800 Coloradans - The Denver Post
denverpost.comA software glitch on the Colorado Secretary of State’s mobile-optimized website prevented nearly 800 people using tablets and mobile phones from registering to vote.
Secretary of State Scott Gessler said the problem occurred between Sept. 14 and Monday because of a software update to the site. The update indavertently caused a problem that prevented 779 people from registering, said Gessler, a Republican.
“Frankly, our office did not engage in enough user testing before we rolled out a software fix,” he said, placing the blame squarely on his office.
The office now has fixed the problem, having discovered it Monday, but it doesn’t know who the people are who tried to register. That’s why Gessler is asking people who think they registered during the days in question to check their registrations at govotecolorado.com
At least they aren't vampires...
laughingsquid.comI personally think this is great. What better way to get those South Park-esque World of Warcraft fatties out of the chair and into the real world. Running to progress the story line is a fab idea, and gives a definite incentive to keep going - if the copy is good that is.
It will be interesting to see what adver-game products eventually pop-up in it too. Does neosporin work on Zombie bites?
