Quotes About Interface

The interface of the collective unconscious and consciousness is the personal unconscious, populated by complexes. The personal unconscious is the liminal zone between individual consciousness and the collective unconscious, between man and God.

Noneditable data should never be displayed in a control that looks editable or operable.

Even if they are inactive (grayed), they look like they can somehow be made active, and users will waste time trying to do so.
~ Jeff Johnson

Transitive dependencies are a violation of the general principle that software entities should not depend on things they don't directly use. We'll encounter that principle again when we talk about the Interface Segregation Principle and the Common Reuse Principle.
~ Robert C. Martin
But biology and computer science - life and computation - are related. I am confident that at their interface great discoveries await those who seek them.
~ Leonard Adleman
His latest theory about his dealings with women isn't that he's lost his reason or that women are illogical (Deb, for instance, displays exemplary thought processes;) it's just that a certain vital part of the interface between them is strongly encrypted and requires some workaround.
~ Adam Felber
Infinite scrolling should never be employed for interfaces in which users need to get to the end of the list quickly, or need to return to a particular list item after navigating elsewhere.
~ Alan Cooper
The programmers went off and coded for a while, then brought the finished work to Jeff for him to try. He found a book he wanted and pressed the 1-Click button, whereupon the program asked him a confirming question! The programmers had converted his one-click interface into a two-click interface.
