Something has been bugging me about the Apple iPhone release since it was announced. No, its not the people getting excited about it or those complaining about itunes functionality. It's not even about the inevitable ear crudd on the nice gloss screen that you will be touching to use the phone. Its about the web design! Go on over to their iPhone page and read a bit about it for a minute or so. Really concentrate and read a page or two about its features. Then go to google.com. Notice anything?

Unless my eyes work differently than everyone elses, you should see that your color is messed up. I don't know the technical term for this, perhaps eye fuckage? In any case, its a clear indication of horrible design by the King of Design, Apple. Who ever thought a dark background with white text is a good idea? More importantly, why is this page still up?!?! Why didn't apple change it to their elegant white theme? Why aren't people complaining?

I know that you're thinking my page looks way worse and has loads of problems. But at least x-pose.org doesn't leave its mark on your eyes when you close the browser. :)

So what other big company is guilty of this? Microsoft of course! It is not as bad, but go ahead and read this vista blog. Then go to google and notice a similar affect on your eyes.

So designers it is important to use a lighter background and then text on top. If you do the opposite, you cause eye fuckage. Apparently even the big name companies skipped design 101. =\
