[IxDA Discuss] the appearance of change

[Hussein Ahmed]

In fact the sense of response which I do like most is Mac OS X's
progress bar. What's nice about it is even if the whole program
crashes and the progress is not increasing, the colored ripples and
waves in the progressing  bar looks so nice and give the real
illusion of something happening. 

Another thing to note is that you are all speaking here of fake
progress and responses as if it is something tricky and decisive.
However, I think we would all agree that there is NO response
feedback ever in Microsoft productions that is not fake ranging from
copy progress, IE loading, hardware detection and all other things.
For this I think we should feel pretty normal having as many fake UI
elements as we just need to make our users happy.
