kalandozások a digitális árnyvilágban

It’s difficult to find where things are (on Android phones). More and more, I feel like it is more like (Microsoft’s) Windows in which many different hardware vendors have installed different equipment on the same platform. The (Windows’) platform has to be very neutral and cannot be special. That’s the similar problem Android phones have.

When you write an app for Android phones, there are so many platforms to consider. That’s the problem Microsoft was facing with its Windows years ago. People like Apple products because they are always predictable and work.

Don’t judge the products by how much they do. If you look at an Apple product including design and functions, the message it gives your eyes as soon as you see the product is ‘beautiful.’ You pick up some products and there are buttons, buttons, buttons, words and words. It looks ugly, and it tells you it is not human.
