Tue, Aug 31st 2010 10:00a Alan Lepofsky Every time I hear some "2.0 evangelist" sing the praises of Gmail my stomach churns a little, my heartbeat quickens and my face tenses as I ponder what could have been if more attention had been paid to the Notes UI years ago.

Thu, Aug 26th 2010 10:10p Alan Lepofsky A few days ago FireFox 4 Beta 4 introduced "Panorama" which allows you to group tabs together and switch back and forth between different sets.

Firefox 4 Option For Tabs On Top, Like Lotus Notes
Sat, Jul 10th 2010 10:40a Alan Lepofsky I've been hearing a lot this week about how Firefox 4 will be providing an option to put tabs at the top of the screen. Well, once again Notes which is always slagged for its UI was ahead of the curve. All kidding aside, this is a good video about UI design: [read] Keywords: lotus
