Change the behavior of the iTunes zoom button in 9 {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 28th 2009 12:37PM does anal-retentive have a hyphen in it?
seriously, apple figured out that most people liked the green button to mini player behavior.
that's why they are called "guidelines" folks. For those whose very existence is threatened by exceptions and non-conformity, I'd suggest psychological therapy as opposed to obsessing about what this or the other button does or does not do.
I, for one, think of the green button as "makes it smaller, makes it bigger". How small, and how big? I'm happy to let the application decide what's best. I think in itunes's case, the right decision was made in the first place, and I'm glad the new iTunes update reflects this.
iPhone OS 3.1 anti-phishing works; you just need to set it up properly {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 13th 2009 8:12AM Why not just have itunes download it and send it to the phone when syncing? Or an update process through the online store? This just seems odd.
Dear Auntie TUAW: What happened to the mini player in iTunes 9? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 12th 2009 6:25AM ??? so the computer that "just works" expects you to know what applications can have more than one window open? seriously? so, ok, it's "consistent" but it's not good UI.
Dear Auntie TUAW: What happened to the mini player in iTunes 9? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 11th 2009 6:54AM I like the idea of consistency, but would like a button for the mini player somewhere in the interface. It doesn't need to be in the upper left, but should be easy enough to add a button so it can be done one handed.
As for consistency, it would be really nice if the red close button either closed a window or quit an application. as it is, it does either or both, depending on what application you are using.
and can people please stop posting "oooh, I figured this out before I read it here and I am oh so clever, expert really, and know how to use twitter". How insecure can you be?
