TLDR
Apple was the first mainstream vendor of personal computers and is still an important player, setting the pace for ease of use and graphical interfaces, but Apple is no longer the major power it once was in personal computing as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
Twenty years after it was founded, Apple is no longer the major power it once was in personal computing. Apple was the first mainstream vendor of personal computers and is still an important player, setting the pace for ease of use and graphical interfaces, but Apple has become a niche player. The company was born out of the desire of two spirited innovators, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs (Fig. 1), who wanted to bring computing power to ordinary people.read more

The complexities of complex span: Explaining individual differences in working memory in children and adults.
TL;DR: Results show that complex span performance was independently constrained by individual differences in domain-general processing efficiency and domain-specific storage capacity, which challenges the view thatcomplex span taps a limited-capacity resource pool shared between processing and storage operations.

Designing interaction, not interfaces
TL;DR: It is argued that the only way to significantly improve user interfaces is to shift the research focus from designing interfaces to designing interaction, which requires powerful interaction models, a better understanding of both the sensory-motor details of interaction and a broader view of interaction in the context of use.
