Pleasure and Pain » The UX Design Process for the... →
Defining the interface from which we manage all of our media is one of the greatest UX challenges facing designers today.  The Boxee beta is a great example of understanding the user’s goals, and making a complex task relatively painless.

OpenDNS Blog » Some thoughts on Google DNS →
I use OpenDNS for my home internet/network.  Now that Google has announced a similar DNS offering, David Ulevish from OpenDNS shares some thoughts. Personally, I think this is good news for OpenDNS. Competition breeds innovation, and as a Deluxe member of OpenDNS, I’m sure the service will continue to add features. I’m not sure I want Google knowing every site I visit, which I a...
