“This is the danger of cliches. I was trying to make a general point which everyone understands but also ended up communicating an even more general falsehood. Like saying violence never solves anything, people understand what I mean even when in reality what I’m saying isn’t true.”

- Jonah Goldberg. This is my new favorite quotation.

Gruber Correction: Scrolling in Lion

Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:00:08 -0400

On the latest episode of The Talk Show (#52), John Gruber notes the change in metaphor for window-scrolling behavior between Lion and all previous versions of Mac OS. This is described (inaccurately) as the difference as being between moving the “thumb” of the scrollbar and moving the window viewport. In fact, moving the viewport is the same as moving the thumb. Scroll the thumb down and the viewport moves down the document, like you’re looking at your page through a window that can move around like a spyglass.

In Lion, instead of moving the viewport, you move the page itself. Your viewport stays where it is, and your fingers scrolling are pulling the page up into your view. That’s a significant change in metaphor that removes a level of abstraction from the UI by switching your control from the window to the content of the window.

“It has frequently been said that in this country we have socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor. What the case of the NFL demonstrates so clearly is that what we have, in fact, is whatever the rich want whenever they want it. And whatever they want always gets the same name, free market capitalism, regardless.”
