AppleとSonyというとPCメーカーとしてだけではなく、MP3プレイヤーなんかの音楽市場でも対立関係にあると言えるわけだけど、最近になってそのSonyからiPod向けの製品が出始めているというニュース。

とまあこんな感じ。正直これでSonyがAppleを認めた、というわけでもなさそうだけど、少なくとも、今後iTunes StoreでSony系レーベルのアーティストの楽曲が並ぶことも有り得る話だ。そうすると他のメーカー系レーベルも後を追うだろうと期待大。

design is not art.
design must be commercially oriented and practical.design itself has no value at all. the value of design cannot be appreciated until people find it useful and recognize its importance.

however, many designs on the network, called web design, have already transcended obstacles such as ethnicity and language, and created designs based on a variety of concepts. however, because its definition is incomplete, the question of what the web design is based on, whether it is based on programs or on usability, remains extremely ambiguous. inconsistent design turns out to invite confusion.

however, on the other hand, we are, to tell the truth, sick of the proposals and the movement of the so-called w3c and the like about what should be the criterion.
should we emphasize freedom or design in web design?

web design has just begun. there is infinite room for improvement. consequently, web designers should make every effort to spend time on experiment and inspection as well on fostering a cutting-edge sense.
