Developing the user interface (UI) is a difficult task and if it is targeted at mobile segment then it becomes much more Herculean task.

According to Joel Spolsky the UI can be called success when it behaves as the user expects it to behave. Coming back to my experience with Nokia design I found that every consecutive push on mobile takes me to a logical steps as given below.

Menu->Messages->Text Msgs->Create Msg->Send->Search->First entry->send

For some reason auto key guard did not work, I had my mobile on my pant pockets at the end of travel to my office I realized that I have sent some 15 sms to my friend whose number was the first entry in my mobile.

After burning my finger twice I add the following address entry Aaa NULL with no number in it. Now on continuous clicks results in a message number not found. I am saving on my mobile bills now. So much for user interface design. Nokia needs to learn a lesson or two IMHO.

It's fun to watch all those election news/programs etc on Tamil media. They offer real entertainment value to the viewers. These are some of my observations.

Chidambaram excels has a very very good orator, he doesn't utter nonsense like Vaiko, T.Rajendar, Sharathkumar etc. Has very good command on Tamil, has very good sense of humor.

Kalaingar his playing it safe, I wonder what's the need to address Sonia with all those chromatic titles.

Vaiko and T.Rajendar should be sent to asylum immediately. They switched roles and I can't stop laughing.

Both Sun and Jaya are manipulating the news. Jaya comes first and Sun distance second. I loved the report in Jaya where the camera zooms on person's wrist watch showing 10:00 pm and then Kalaingar giving speech. The news is Kalaingar is violating the code of ethics by continuing the Pracharam even after 10:00 pm. Tell me how hard is it manipulate the time in watch?

I have found the new comedian in Sharathkumar. Pity that he can't excel Ravi Bernad.

Finally, I am missing Vijayakanth a.k.a Captain. He doesn't get covered by any media and I wish he wins atleast a handful of seats this time. I think he deserves to win .

Saw this advert in television for Maruti SWIFT. It seems the car has Automatic Climate Control in it. Wonder what those scientist are doing in met labs!

Maruti can loads of money by selling the automatic climate control alone than selling Swift. IMHO :-)

"Walking on a ceiling is very different from normal walking," Stanislav Gorb of the Max Planck Institute for Metals research in Stuttgart, Germany, says in a press release, "because gravity tends to pull an inverted insect away instead of pressing it to the surface." Thanks for the insight.
