晨讀: Safari 4 Beta Review

早上在greader里讀了 Dmitry 在 Usability Post 上的這篇文章: Safari 4 Beta Review

windows下的safari 4 tab處于一個極不醒目的位置，windows用戶有最大化窗口的習慣，也有把title bar中間藍色色塊忽略的習慣，導致safari 4的tab幾乎不可見，包括增加tab的加號。即使從從屬關系上來看，的確tab應該在address bar上面，但是用起來就是不對勁，在使用中被我反復忽略，即使我知道它的存在。

至于對top site的觀點，我完全同意。虽然好看，但很容易看厭，不如 FF3.1 中 Cognitive Shield 的設計思想更日常化：

“If you are typing a destination into the navigation bar, then your locus of attention is on the place you are trying to go — so we should stay politely out of your cognitive way. On the other hand, if you are using the mouse than you will probably benefit from the mouse-based navigation aid, so show it.

Whether you are using the mouse is a good indicator of whether you are in a cognitive flow or not. That realization resolves the paradox: the links are there when you need then, and not when you don’t.”
