IN THE MAIL: John Maeda’s The Laws of Simplicity, a series of ruminations on good design in electronics and other products.

Some thoughts of mine on that subject can be found in this post, and also here and here.

As Maeda notes, Apple manages to sell products with fewer features for more money than its competitors, by investing in design that makes them easy to use and that gives them a feeling of quality. I wish more manufacturers would pick up on that.
