The importance of mute switches on cordless phones
When are equipment manufacturers going to realize that certain things should not be buried away in menus. There are two things in life which should never, under any circumstances, categorically, 100% (!), be anything other than a physical switch - the ringer mute on a cordless phone, and the sleep button on a TV remote control.
There are probably many other things too, but these two get me fuming the most. Do the owners of these companies not use their own products?
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video. Merci.
