All these iOS7 ux critiques makes me feel better about not being able to afford the new iPhone.

All elements on this iOS 7 Calendar screen that are in red are tappable. All except one, that is. The month name is in red, but tapping it doesn’t do anything.

This means color doesn’t signify whether an element on the screen is meaningful to tap or not. How do you then know what is tappable and what is not? You could tap everything and see what responds to your tap and what doesn’t.

The heartbreaking final tweets of an overworked copywriter

Mita Diran tweeted that she had been working for 30 straight hours. She died soon after. 

In June of 2011, Mita Diran wrote “an open plea” on her Tumblr:

“Tonight, I carry the keys to the office for the eighth day running. I’m still here. I have no life. Someone please take me out for drinks, kicks and giggles.”Hours later, she was dead.
