    I don't want computer to work on my whistle. But what i want is, it should keep a record of my liking, i.e finding patterns what all i do on my pc(like google makes patterns what i search), what are the places i find difficulties and where not, and in response adjusting the UI according to it to make my work more efficient. Does that sound illogical?

    Not illogical but it has been tried and it led to difficulties, because if your ui is different to mine, and indeed different to everyone's, then support and training become an issue (as does learning the system for the user) Unless there is a global standard on how to store the set up, it makes moving between computers a problem too.

        Exactly, there's my point,we do have customization. But people actually customizing it are really less. Only those who are actually committed. I don't think a high school child will customize is his computer before using paint. He would prefer social network(where he has stuffs which he understands much better).

        Then you haven't been to a high school recently. One of the major issues in schools is supporting student PCs, as they will customise tehm to the point of being all but unusable given half a chance - so the computers have to be locked down to stop them customising

                  I can't speak for anyone else, but I estimate the 7% of me that is not full of shit, is vocabulary. yours, Bill

                  “Beginning, middle, and end of birth, growth, and perfection we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action, reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, order.”


                  Giordano Bruno, cosmologist, philosopher, burned at the stake for heresy on February 17, 1600. When condemned, he said to his Inquisitors: “Perhaps you pronounce this verdict against me with greater fear than I receive it.”

                      That was just an example of person who knows nothing about pc. What he would like and prefer.

                        I already thought about it buddy, and made such application. It violates the privacy policy IT-Act 2000 A under my country's law section. And most importantly why the people will use your application ,giving all information about them knowing that you are selling it to the advertizers.

                          Ok Maxx, we can't fight that why the companies are not trying something, what i personally think. Its totally their call. Lastly, just answer 1 question. what will you prefer, -an OS which makes you learn something, by associating it with what you have already learnt in life - or the MAC OS which expects that you should learn about it first and then make him do something rest i am a biggest fool on earth, thanks for commenting on my viewpoint. stay excellent!

                              Current ui paradigms in OS use things we 'have already learned in life' - such as pressing buttons, stacking things on top of one another, reading lists, associating pictures wi actions etc. etc. etc. So, would I prefer An os GUI that uses my personal habits to tailor its icons, menus, etc, to make it 'easier' for me to use? Not particularly. With consistency comes familiarity, and so ease of use. It might seem like a good idea but people don't generally have a problem learning the basics of an OS ui, because there is cross platform consistency, so moving from Mac to windows to Linux is generally quite easy because of the similarities in the presentation. Use a learning ui paradigm and the user would struggle more in moving from OS to OS Neil the new one had learned from them. And the majority of computer users are using the computer as a tool to perform some function, and are not software devs or geeks who want something more.

                                My vote of 5 for your words, as exactly as what I want to utter out, but I'm not brave like you. :)

                                  Sure, when you can perform open heart surgery, then it's fair for you to expect that busy doctor to have knowledge about coding. Your youth and inexperience is showing.

                                  I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

                                  Certainly not the best analogy since most doctors do not know that either. And there isn't any opportunity to learn it on your nor pick it up on your own.

                                    I think you are talking about innovation. World is short of ideas and that's the only reason people steal it. But innovations are overflowing as 1 idea can be associated with a million innovations. Secondly, i never want that actually(that would be done in 100 years or so matching all probabilities), what i want to convey is that people like to understand and do thing their own way. So the UI should be made their way(or make a step towards that goal), then only the time understanding windows would be utilized in implementing the ideas innovations.

                                    Nope. Plenty of ideas. All of them based on existing idioms and many duplicated (unintentionally). But successfully taking an idea to produce something that other people will use is a far, far different thing.

                                      Sir, you can drive cars only in one boring way, everyday. With little or small manipulations. But when it comes on coding, sky is the limit. You can program to the same output, with different logic everyday. And logic is about your idea of doing things. So why not collect that idea from every field.

                                      If you are suggesting that there is some way to create a UI that allows people to program new concepts - it is very unlikely to happen. People have been attempting to do that for at least 30 years. And there has been almost no success. If it was possible then the process would already exist and people would be improving on it. Instead every attempt it heralded as the next best thing but in even limited usage all start to exhibit severe limits.

                                        Ok Maxx, we can't fight that why the companies are not trying something, what i personally think. Its totally their call. Lastly, just answer 1 question. what will you prefer, -an OS which makes you learn something, by associating it with what you have already learnt in life - or the MAC OS which expects that you should learn about it first and then make him do something rest i am a biggest fool on earth, thanks for commenting on my viewpoint. stay excellent!

                                        The point is that people HAVE tried this. It doesn't work well. Not even close. And that is why companies don't pursue it.

                                        That statement completely ignores something - complexity. It seems to suggest that the totality of human experience can be codified. Even if possible (which I doubt due to economics) current technology far, far from being able to do it.

                                          I doubt that.
