Simplexity

Siegel+Gale has a great post about simple complexity, known as "simplexity". The post argues that the need to simplify user interfaces takes on added importance in an age when technology is rapidly subsuming our lives with its complexity. They profile 4 organizations (Google, Apple, MIT and Microsoft)  that have mastered the art of making exceedingly complex products and interfaces really, really simple and usable. Ironically, I am most impressed with Microsoft's Surface Computing device. The original article can be found here: Simple Complexity
