Apple

Past few weeks I have had Steve Job's fever. I read and watched quite a bit about him. His principles of design are Simplicity, Ease of use, allowing creative extensions and reducing the pain.

I generally have these fever of something for a while. Different fever's last different duration. Some longer and some shorter. Some of them I really enjoy. Few of them have left mark on my life. Significant few have been Ayn Rand & Jiddu Krishnamurthy's literature for a while. There on the Madhwa philosophy which I am holding on to it.

Coming back to Steve & Apple. It triggered a thought process of asking myself question of how should things be done whenever I looked at any thing. What's the Apple way to do it ? What's the right way to do it ?

LPG Gas Stoove in the House caught up my attention. I certainly felt it lacked basic feature of Gas leakage detection. With so many fire accidents, I wonder why is this feature missing. Many Indian households could appreciate if Gas Stove could also double up as partial microwave oven. If not full featured at least it should have basic electronics to turn the burner off based on the timer. So next time you could keep milk for heating and not spill it out while you enjoyed your favourite TV show.
