I see the horseless carriage as part of the evolutionary product journey to what is now known as the car, from the horse-drawn carriage to the horseless carriage, to early automobiles, to now.
I would take your statement further than unfair and say the analogy is inaccurate and confused about how products evolve over time.
The article itself shows only an incremental improvement on the UI by exposing a system prompt, rather than reaching for the modern car from the era of the first horseless carriages.
So you manage outsourcing? Might I recommend saying that? I've noticed throughout the comments that you tend toward drawn out explanations. Make it simple and then people will fill in the missing details. If they miss a few, no worries, because they get the gist. You don't need to give them all of the details up front, because that makes it complex, hard to understand and boring. Try and fill in as many details as you can with imagery and the structure of the site.
Take screenshots or print the pages. They don't need to look at the code to review the copy. Change the mindset to look for solutions rather than problems.
The question for many investors isn't in the current figures so much as what are the future figures likely to be and how that compares to the current figures.
"Wave hello to the future" also captures the connotation of welcoming to the future, as well as providing a more concrete indication of what the app does. I think one of the biggest challenges with copywriting is hitting all of those notes at once, the visionary, the concrete, the solution, the problem, etc. And like other forms of art, some pieces just come together better than others.
Not necessarily. Popularity makes something more likely to be exploited. Compare PCs to Macs re: viruses. Also, many security issues were due to conventions in early versions of the language, e.g. register globals.
A company? We're talking about Apple. I doubt Steve Jobs would have been caught dead saying that about Apple, and I hope that culture is continuing with Apple. Apple employees, notably Ives, have said over and over that their #1 goal is to create <magical products>.
Couple curiosity questions: Which system did you start using? Also, have you done any activities requiring high precision at fine detail, such as gaming or design?
I wouldn't say he's saying spending less time on them. He's saying that they are the exception, so don't make the whole interface depend on the possibility of them. Proceed assuming the optimal case and when they do happen, provide a safe, friendly means of dealing with them.
"Creeping SEOization" could also be stated as keyword space filling up—a natural effect of the web growing—so queries are getting more specific.
Another possible factor is that users are becoming more savvy search users, or even trusting that they will get meaningful results for novel queries (e.g. Vietnamese Restaurants in Saskatoon).
It's very much like saying that, which doesn't mean it's not persuasive reasoning. It may not be ultimately rational reasoning, but it appeals to many people. That's why it's called the sunk cost fallacy. :)
