You guys SUCK!


I don't hate UI designers. I loathe them.

Why do UI people think that the more clicks it takes to do the same tasks, the better!?
Take a look at the wonder that is windows 8. Before you booted in to the desktop and there was a start button that was a one click shortcut to all your programs. Not only did they get rid of the start button, they added a junky looking "metro" screen which is a shortcut to a bunch of dos like phone apps that don't even run in a window, so of course I never use any of them. So you click past that to get to a desktop with no start button. Oh wait, after much complaining they put that back. Well not really, because the new, useless start button just toggles between the metro and desktop, the asshole UI shitheads left out its most useful feature, the shortcuts! Well fuck you very much DOUCHBAGS!!

Then you have the wifi for retards interface, which gives you no details at all. Yeah, maybe I WOULD like to have more info than a signal strength bar.
Want to create a wifi hotspot on your win 8 computer? I really can't complain about the UI, because there isn't one. That's right, the shitheads removed the perfectly good one that came with win 7. It can still be done, but you have to use the command line. Why?

WTF is it with logins? Years ago when you went to a page requiring login there were username and password fields right there. Now you have to click a drop down first just to log in or log out.
Google is the crown king of suck UI. Every "improvement" they have made makes for a shittier user experience than the last. If you want to log in to gmail you enter your user name, then have to click a button to get to the password field? Of what FUCKING use is this? Having both fields there and just clicking a button once rather than twice made more sense, but then again if you are a UI asshole, you can never have enough mouse clicks for simple tasks.

"Load more" is another UI suckfest. Instead of just having page numbers at the bottom of the screen, the UI assholes replaced that with a "load more" button. Now in the case of youtube, you have to click that multiple times on a page with a lot of videos. Then if you click on a video, go to it, then go back, you wind up at the start page and have to re-click the shitty load more button however many times you did before to get to where you were.

Web design, the incredible disappearing font. So, you used internet explorer to design your web site, and tested it at one resolution! Great job Tardly! Your shit page doesn't look right on other browsers or resolutions, but hey, you got it done on time and on budget! Good dog.

EVERYTHING is about look, NOTHING about functionality, that's the UI shithead credo.
