The little detail – Tabindex

Form, is one thing we all don’t like to fill most of the time. From a long list of details to only 3 inputs to signup.

Tumblr signup

However, some who know the use of “Tab” on their keyboard will get frustrated if it’s not working. The almighty tabindex is a must for my point of view. It ease how we – the user – using the computer and browsing.

<input type="text" name="first_name" tabindex="1" />
<input type="text" name="last_name" tabindex="2" />

The number is where it will go from one to another one when “Tab” key is pressed. It would be annoyed if filling a full form where one need to keep between the mouse and the keyboard.

Daily Sites

Some sites I visit very frequently, for its entertaining or for its usefulness. Of course, beside Facebook and Twitter :P

Sort of like Tumblr, but only works for image and video. But I just like to browse around. All those funny memes or quotations. Oh, the keyboard shortcut helps a lot!

Church Create
Not a church thing, it’s a big network, something like Envato, but not as widely known like them. A good list of network which can explore a lot of new and old things.

So yes, I’m just laying back sitting here going them from time to time when I’m thinking about something or working toward a project. I believe this is not how to burn belly fat… But hell, I’m a married man anyway :lol:

It may be the design not the functions

There are so many computer manufacturers, each one has their own design and series. Especially for laptop. When consumers looking for a custom laptop, I believe, consumers are more concern about the overall design than the overall functions.

Some laptops comes out with all kind of unnecessary functions. Who needs a finger print authentical?

Design

Some consumer choose Apple machine over any other in the market is due to its design. Like I will :P I still don’t believe much in the investment of getting an Apple machine is worthy compare to getting other more budget laptop.

Technology needs the help from design, in order to sell in this century. Why big corporate spending money on product design and R&D? Because it is a long-term investment for them. An Apple apps is a simple few functions apps, with it’s design, it sells. Some technology-related corporate still believe in their sales figure of last year, that is getting old….
