A nurse has recorded the most common regrets of the dying, and among the top ones is ‘I wish I hadn’t worked so hard’. What would your biggest regret be if this was your last day of life?
There was no mention of more sex or bungee jumps. A palliative nurse who has counselled the dying in their last days has revealed the most common regrets we have at the end of our lives. And among the top, from men in particular, is ‘I wish I hadn’t worked so hard’.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about the design strategy of Apple’s store on Regent Street. I was interested in how, by stripping out money and its visual signifiers, Apple were deliberately creating a space where a direct and emotional connection could form between visitors and the products.

Anyway, here are a few links about the Apple Store that I thought I’d post up here, in case anyone’s interested.

• Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is the firm of architects that has designed Apple stores across the globe. Their approach to the Regent Street store was to “edit distracting elements from the visual field” to create a serene environment in which “Apple’s products gracefully assume center stage”.
• The Atlantic reported in October last year that more than 74.5 million people had visited one of the 317 Apple stores across the world in the preceding quarter, setting a new record for footfall in retail.
• Back in 2009, Social Episodes wrote about the Apple Store customer experience far more extensively than I did, relating it to six “laws” of customer service. I like the story of the Apple staff keeping their cool when, after spending lots of time with a customer complaining about iTunes syncing, they discovered that he didn’t even have it installed on his PC.

So whatever Apple is doing with its retail stores, it’s obviously doing it well.

• Bettween | The Ultimate Twitter Conversation Tracker
  Website that digs up and displays conversations between any two Twitter users. Handy for stalking & memory-jogging. I like the fact that it bugs you for money while loading up tweets.

• T-Mobile shares some Android statistics, will soon support carrier billing
  T-Mobile (US) have released Android statistics. myTouch owners seem keen on browsing, apps and so on – 80% of them use the browser once a day, and 66% use it more than once a day. Indicates that smartphone buyers make good use of their features

• Internet Memes
  Visual timeline of internet meme history, to before the creation of the first emoticon. If you ask me, though, the fun doesn't really begin until 1990 when the term Godwin's Law was first coined. Of course everything went haywire in 1993 once Eternal September began.

• A List Apart: Articles: The Myth of Usability Testing
  Since 1998 Rolf Molich's work has indicated that usability experts rarely form consensus views. His Comparative Usability Evaluations show that different teams will identify different issues, and their findings rarely overlap. Does this reflect flaw in methodology, or something more basic?
