Re: [分享] Apple應該終止的5個產品
說到pages和numbers
在我剛用小白時,我也是用pages來排版,做DM。
它的內建版型就是有質感,而且那些輔助線太方便了。
可是等到OFFICE 2007出來以後,pages就少用很多
到OFFICE 2010,基本上我已經完全放棄pages了
原因有幾個。
第一,pages的內建版型是很有質感,可是每次套新版型新增文件後,
還要先清掉一大段法文和西班牙文。
不過這還是小問題
第二,當我用了RIBBON以後,就很難再回去看pages的UI了。
這個問題比較嚴重:為什麼pages經過那麼久了,使用者介面的設計卻沒啥進步啊...
至於numbers,我覺得它就是個強調工作表和圖表的pages,它比excel強的地方就在排版。
但我還是用excel比較多,因為我很少需要做出數張工作表並列、圖文並茂的報表,
很多時候弄出個表格就可以印出來交差了。
這時候精美的排版功能反而造成使用障礙...
iWork裡面我最常用的就是keynote,沒辦法,keynote真的太強了,
再加上powerpoint實在太廢了,不管是OSX版或Win版都一樣
能用keynote我就不想用powerpoint。
另外我也同意那個記者說的:Dashboard可以廢掉了
※ 引述《implicit (隱)》之銘言:
: 今天在Businessweek上看到一篇文章
: 主要在說作者認為Apple有5個產品(其實是軟體)該結束了
: 覺得有點意思
: 簡單翻譯跟大家分享一下
: 原文網址 http://ppt.cc/gn_V
: 前面二段主要在說雖然Apple做出了些很好的產品
: 但相較之下 有些就不是很出色了
: 應該學Jack Welch一樣 把一些不賺錢的產品處份掉
: 再來就提到了5項"產品"
: 1.Safari. It’s a perfectly fine Web browser, but it’s not essential.
: Many people use Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer already—
: Safari has never cracked 10 percent of browsers in use.
: Chrome’s now even availableas a free app for the iPhone
: (it’s really quite good—you should check it out).
: With few compelling reasons why anyone should use Safari,
: there are few convincing reasons why Apple should continue
: to spend time and money on it.
: 1.Safari. 這是一個相當好的網路瀏灠器,但是卻不是必須的。
: 許多人使用Chrome, Firefox 跟IE。Safari從未獲得10%的市占率:
: Chrome現在甚至可以免費在iPhone上使用(真的很好用,你一定要用用看)。
: 除了一些不得不的理由,怎麼會還有人想要用Safari呢?
: 沒什麼理由要Apple持續花時間砸錢在Safari上。
: 2.Game Center. I’m sorry, but what is this? I just know it as the annoying
: thing that pops up before I want to playAngry Birds. Apple’s toe-dipping
: strategy in regard to social networks has never been terribly illustrious—
: remember Ping, Apple’s social music feature? Didn’t think so.
: The iPhone and iPod touch are great gaming devices; there’s no reason
: to muck up the experience with some riverboat-casino-looking app
: that’s just getting in the way.
: 2.Game Center. 拍寫喔,這到底是啥東西?
: 我只知道它是在我要玩Angry Birds時跳出的一個煩人通知。
: Apple想在社群網絡上試試水溫,但從來沒引起什麼火花;
: 還記得Ping嗎?Apple的音樂網路社群,但從來起過作用。
: iPhone 與 iPod touch已經是非常好的遊戲設備,
: 實在是沒理道用一個看起來像賭船的app讓遊戲體驗變糟。
: 3. Pages. This is Apple’s word processing application,
: but it’s the third player in a two-player contest. For most people,
: there’s Microsoft Word, and there’sGoogle Docs. One’s bloated and powerful,
: the other’s limited but streamlined. Nobody needs another word processing
: program. Apple likes to talk about how great Pages is for interesting layouts,
: but really—how many family newsletters have you made recently?
: 3.Pages. 這是Apple的文字處理軟體,但是它根本不在競爭行列中。
: 對大部份的人來說,有MS word跟Google Docs就夠了。前者廣泛使用且強大,
: 後者雖然功能有限但卻精簡實用,所以沒有人需要其他的文字處理軟體的。
: Apple總喜歡強調Pages的版型與排版功能是如何的有趣,但是說實在的,
: 你最近到底做了多少的家庭刊物?
: 4.Numbers. Another Apple version of software that doesn’t need to be.
: Numbers is Apple’s challenge to Microsoft’s Excel, but for better or worse,
: Excel is the standard here. Maybe even Apple’s aware of this—the most recent
: version of Numbers (and Pages, for that matter) came out in 2009—
: that’s three years ago, an eternity for software.
: 4.Numbers. 另一個不需要存在的Apple軟體就是Numbers。
: Numbers是Apple挑戰MS Excel的軟體,但是,不管它是比較好或差,
: Excel就是業界的標準。也許Apple已經查覺到了,最近一次更新Numbers (跟Pages)
: 是在2009年,已經是3年前,對一個軟體來說那真是夠久的了。
: 5.Mission Control/Launchpad/Dashboard. Apple keeps pushing these different
: “views” of your desktop. Most people know them as the weird screens that
: pop up when you accidentally move your cursor into a corner of the screen
: and then have to figure out how to get back to what you were working on.
: And really? There have to be three different apps for all this?
: 5.Mission Control/Launchpad/Dashboard. Apple持續的推出不同的桌面呈現方式。
: 大部份的人都知道當你不小心把你的滑鼠指標移到螢幕角落,
: 然後這些怪異的螢幕程式就會跳出來,再來你必須要想辦法試著回到你原本的工作。
: 認真的嗎?需要有三個不同的apps才能處理這些事嗎?
: So there are five things that Apple could probably shut down and no one
: would really notice. And they shouldn’t do it just to be more efficient:
: Every hour that Apple employees spend on these products is an hour they
: could spend on something that really deserves their attention. I even have
: a suggestion: iTunes. What started as a simple computer jukebox program
: has ballooned to now handle movies, TV shows, apps, syncing, account
: management … it’s gotten so bloated that it’s starting to look like a
: Microsoft product. Fix that, and you can make all the weird spreadsheet
: programs you want.
: 所以至少這五項產品Apple需要考慮結束它而且搞不好根本就沒人會在意。
: 而Apple真的應該為了更有效率而結束這些事,Apple的員工應該花時間在
: 他們真正應該做的事上。我建議是iTunes。iTunes開始只是個音樂播放器,
: 但現在已經集電影、影集、apps、同步與帳戶管理於一身的軟體;
: iTunes現在已經癡肥的像微軟的產品一樣了。
: 先把iTunes弄好,再來去做那些你想做的奇怪案子。
