This a snapshot of UX concept before design. The general idea is using "sentence-based" UI, where the buttons/actions are part of a sentence that explains what can be done at this point in time.

So my somewhat shortsighted choice of email address leads me to get a lot of random people mistakenly signing me up for mailing lists, forwarding me jokes, discussing the questions they as a family want to ask their grandma Stewart in compiling her biography, estimates on everything from mortgages to movers, notifications of what terrible movies someone in Wisconsin is renting from a redbox kiosk, Betsy's Cellular South online billing notifications, letters home from someone traveling the world (I actually find those kind of entertaining and read them ;-p), messages from a half dozen high school students saying their teacher had told them to contact me regarding tutoring, airline ticket confirmations, and a Cc list of folks who occassionaly go off on pretty vicious conservative rants [1]... and that's just examples off the top of my head.
Anyway, in the last few days, kohls.com is the most recent newsletter someone signed me up for; I was pretty shocked when gmail gave me this prompt; I don't know how long this has been around, but more info here. I want this feature even for list mail I'm not marking as spam, man. Rad.
[1] I take a small pleasure in using those Cc: lists they kindly gave me when I need to "tell a friend" about this or that progressive cause. I tell some people to stop mailing me. I unsubscribe from the newsletters when I can. But for a lot of those automated messages regarding bills and confirmations, there's just not much I can do. Suffice it to say that I'm happy when my Spam folder has fewer than 10,000 messages in it.

This is my first attempt to process a RAW image with Adobe's new Lightroom application.
You can download the public beta of Lightroom at Adobe Labs. There's just an OS X version now, Windows version coming soon.
I have never been a Photoshop user: I've never felt the need for such a high-end application until now and frankly, I've never found its UI very inviting. However, now that I'm attempting to broaden my photographic horizons, post-processing seems like an important area to explore.
I'm a Macintosh person. Always have been and always will be. The system requirements on Aperture gave me pause before it was so poorly reviewed (I use a 1.67 Ghz G4 15" PowerBook as my sole computer) and so, I was starting to consider PhotoShop or at least Elements.
All of that said, I must say that I love iPhoto. Its tools are crude compared with any of these other applications but the application is so easy to use that I've had no problem using a "consumer level" app for my "pro-wannabe" photography.
I'll be attending Macworld this week and I hope Apple releases an upgrade to its iLife suite including a new version of iPhoto. Even if they do, I'll continue to experiment with Lightroom because it looks great, will run easily on my computer, and I applaud Adobe for releasing it as a public beta. I would think (hope/pray) that the retail cost of Lightroom will be much less than the cost of Aperture or Photoshop.
Some cute UI features on medium.com:
- Subtle cue to add annotations at the level of paragraphs (rather than commenting on a whole post)
- Pop-up functionality (annotation and tweeting) when you selected text
- Estimates of reading time
