Adamczyk: Design Principles Behind Firefox OS UX
For those who are curious what the Firefox OS ("Boot2Gecko") will look
like: Patryk Adamczyk has posted a
description of the system's core design principles with a lot of screenshots.
"Many applications have a distinct character visually catered to
their use, with a list layout, focused on quick triage of content.
Productivity applications create a sense of an office; bright with an
emphasis on typographic content. Media applications create a more theatric
(dark) experience with emphasis on graphical content rather than
text."

It is interesting what Google suggests while searching for "Apple is ", that shows the image taken shape by that department.

I also have :
"Apple is a ship with a hole in the bottom" Which made me giggle in front of my screen.

Funny, but isn't really saying something. Try the same with "google is ":
google is evil google is god google is your friend google is skynet google is down google is awesome google is taking over the world google is watching you google is racist
Is just what people search for. Obviously, a lot of people search for "Apple|Google is evil"
The hive-mind has spoken Posted Sep 26, 2012 7:38 UTC (Wed) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] Not "search for", but "write about": Google indexes content rather than previous searches. So a lot of people are saying that Apple and Google are evil. Note however that Apple's suggestions all have negative connotations, while Google's are mixed. Or Amazon's. Even the maligned Microsoft manages to get a "Microsoft is cool again". I wonder if this means something...
The hive-mind has spoken Posted Sep 26, 2012 21:11 UTC (Wed) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Actually Google uses searches not content. And it also used quite a few heuristics to offer you what you want. So Google suggestions say more about your personality then about Joe Everage.

It's a great recursive joke and highlights the dozy/uninformed.

They actually get that result from a content-sharing agreement with Yahoo ;) .
