Improved Search with Ipad and Iphone
February 14th, 2010 | Author: Doron Gez Marketing Business Development
The Ipad is something different. This device defers from other tablets especially because of its interface and usability behavior. It’s also different from the Iphone or other smart phones and mobile devices because of its size. One of Apple’s goals, I think, is to replace our portable devices such as laptops and notebooks, and not the iPhone or other smart phones.

From GUI to SUI – The SortFix Way
July 8th, 2009 | Author: Amir Lavi CEO
On my last post I talked about the progression of GUIs, on this post I will try to different our SUI – search User Interface from a non GUI search engine.
As a child I was always fascinated by computer graphics and especially user interfaces. No, I wasn’t a geek exploring and researching user interfaces, but many of my decisions — which computer game to play, what kind of computer I wanted for my 13th birthday — were based on the design of the computer’s GUI.
All of my friends bought early versions of IBM’s PC XT 286, which had only a CLI and no GUI. I didn’t go with the flow. I preferred the AMIGA computer (Amiga 500),which was far less popular, had less games, but had absolutely stunning graphics, games and resolution. The AMIGA boasted an early edition of a Windows-style operating system.

The Search Is On: Search Engine GUIs
June 25th, 2009 | Author: Amir Lavi CEO
In these days of the Internet, everybody knows that good design doesn’t necessarily mean the website is good. Websites must also provide an intuitive and simple way for the user to interact and navigate.
The most important innovation in the field of human-computer interaction is the graphical user interface, a.k.a. GUI, which has become the de facto industry standard for communication between us and computers.
GUIs are not only implemented in common operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, but are used to operate and control handheld devices, portable media players, gaming consoles and much, much more.
From CLI to GUI
Having emerged as an alternative for solving the steep learning curve of command line interfaces (CLIs), GUIs have made computers – and computing — far more accessible in terms of ease of use. CLIs required commands or series of commands to be typed on the keyboard.
