I heard a great quote once, at the time Apple was killing Samsung and the question was asked "Why Samsung with their six gazillion engineers were being run over by Apple?". The answer, because they have six gazillion engineers.AmigoJack wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2017 7:33 amThen get a better internet browser - I can define my own search engines, so everything I have to do is typingbug-i wrote:I have to go to advanced settings and select every time what I needb search text

I sense exactly that over the years already, even including games as software: nobody reads a manual or help section anymore, hence not grasping how to work with/play it efficiently. Today I'm feeling lucky when I have shortcuts and am not forced using a GUI that only accepts mouse input. Thanks to "Joe Six Pack" today's software workflow is less reliable and slower to process than in the past.
It all ends at being able to learn - and would you rather know how to do it on countless software at once (thru your internet browser), or only at one specific one (thru your UCP settings, which means you don't even have this when being a guest on another website using the same software)? Yes, learning can indeed be "hoops" to people, but often it feels like cherry picking. Or being unable to grasp that you would improve after having learnt something.thecoalman wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2017 5:38 amThey don't want to jump through a bunch of hoops nor should they
That may be true but unless it's software designed for professionals the audience is Joe Six pack, that's just reality.
99% of the people that come to my website are not interested in wasting their time learning how to bookmark a custom search on a phpBB forum. They are interested in learning about the main topic for my site. It's my job to provide to them the easiest way to do that.It all ends at being able to learn -
