Notebook entries from September 2009

Adding Context to the 5-Star Rating System

So I’ve discovered a little problem, that I have personally, with the 5-star rating system. What do 1, 2, 3 and 4 stars mean? With what little time I have to rate something, like photos (a few minutes after I’ve imported them from my camera), it boils down to I either like it or I don’t. How do I “grade” something that I like on a scale?

Having that 3d “look” vs 3d effects

After finishing a good twitter rant on the subject, I felt a need to write a bit about the updated UI for iTunes 09 , specifically the new look of the Toolbar compared to iTunes 08 .
