“A few days ago, I interviewed Ken Kocienda at TechCrunch Disrupt SF — he just released a book called Creative Selection,” Romain Dillet writes for TechCrunch. “After working at Apple during some of the company’s best years, Kocienda looks back at what makes Apple such a special place.”
“Kocienda’s career highlights include working on WebKit and Safari for the Mac right after he joined the company as well as working on iOS before the release of the first iPhone. He’s the one responsible of autocorrect and the iPhone keyboard in general,” Dillet writes. “If you care about user interfaces and design processes, it’s a good read. And it feels refreshing to read a book with HTML code, keyboard drawings and other nerdy things. It’s much better than the average business book.”

What MADE Apple’s design culture so special
FTFY.
Culture or couture?
The sound & smell of Jony Ives anti-design farting as he clumsily deconstructs a poorly upgradeable Mac Pro for unhappy power pro users in revolt? Then there’s the Design Latency Effect taking 7 years to correct a prior screw-up leaving many high and dry for a century in tech years.
Nothing
Aluminium, Rose Gold and Magic!
I feel pity for the Apple haters. The next decade isn’t going to be much fun for you.
Having a blast!
Whining and complaining is such a ‘blast’. Lie to yourself if you like but you can’t lie to me.
Not that you believe the truth. Stay within your delusion. It’s too real for you out here.
It’s ‘ too real’ here on a fan site where everyone makes up names and whines about Apple.
