Zensur (Feb 07 2003 07:40 GMT) - Alle E-Mails an das britische Parlament laufen seit Januar diesen Jahres durch eine Filter-Software. Hintergrund der Maßnahme: «Eine bessere Kommunikation mit dem Bürger» solle ermöglicht werden, hieß es aus dem Büro des IT-Managers des Parlamentes. [...] Fälschlicherweise als «Spam» klassifiziert wurde etwa ein Papier der Liberaldemokraten, das sich ausgerechnet mit dem Thema Zensur beschäftigt. |

- One of the major issue I deal with designing cross-platform educational applications is trying to resolve the inconsistencies between human interface guidelines on Windows and Mac platforms. What looks right on one platform often looks a little off on the other, and an occasion there are flat out inconsistencies between the two. Even trying to design for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, or for Win 98 and Win XP, reveals basic inconsistencies in default button size, system font, etc. As a result, we often end up using purely graphic buttons, much like javascript-driven rollovers on the web, simply because it allows us to standardize across platforms, and also gives our graphic artists greater control over the visual theme of the window. Of course, this means our apps don't have native platform look-and-feel, but given the heterogenous nature of the educational market, that's a tradeoff we're willing to accept. |
