In a Rare Moment of Self- Doubt, Steve Jobs Wanted a Back Button on the i. Phone. Steve Jobs was legendary for knowing what he wanted and leaning on his designers until he got it.

But according to a new book on the history of the i. Phone, he insisted that it should have a back button.

After one of his people presented a good argument for the distinctive single home button, he backed down. The One Device: The Secret History of the i. Watch The House Of Darkness Online Metacritic. Phone by Brian Merchant has been getting a lot of attention and it sounds like a pretty decent attempt at covering the insider story at a company that’s notoriously difficult to get inside of. Among Merchant’s findings is this little gem: The touch- based phone, which was originally supposed to be nothing but screen, was going to need at least one button. We all know it well today – the Home button. But Steve Jobs wanted it to have two; he felt they’d need a back button for navigation.

Chaudhri argued that it was all about generating trust and predictability. One button that does the same thing every time you press it: it shows you your stuff.…“Again, that came down to a trust issue,” Chaudhri says, “that people could trust the device to do what they wanted it to do. Part of the problem with other phones was the features were buried in menus, they were too complex.” A back button could complicate matters too, he told Jobs.“I won that argument,” Chaudhri says.”And thus, history was made. The single home button was decided, plus Steve Jobs doubted his own instincts and listened to someone else.

Scooter Gennett Pitched, Says Radar Gun Readings Were "Fake News"That funky delivery belongs to Reds 2. B Scooter Gennett, called on to pitch to spare the bullpen in Cincinnati’s 1. Cubs last night. It went about as expected, which is to say: It didn’t go great. Gennett allowed two hits, including a Javy Baez home run, walked a batter and hit another. But he felt good out there, which is the important thing. Gennett: “I don’t know what I was hitting, 9.

Reporters: “6. 8.”Gennett: “Yeah, I don’t believe that. I think the radar gun might be broken or something. That, Statcast, off- the- bat speed, all that’s fake news.”I think I might be a Scooter Gennett fan? Here’s where I remind you how he got his nickname: When he was a young boy, his mom took him to the police station to scare him into wearing his seat belt. Red Victoria Full Movie Part 1. When a cop asked for his name, he gave a fake one because he thought he couldn’t be arrested that way. He gave them the name of his favorite Muppet Babies character. Oh, and the nickname he’ll be wearing on the back of his jersey for MLB’s upcoming Players Weekend is “Ryan,” his given name.)This was a weird game, a blowout in a lost season with a few quirks, like Joey Votto rifling a foul ball out of the dang stadium.

I feel for everyone going through the motions here, including the beat guys—so I have to give credit to the Enquirer’s Zach Buchanan for this line: While Gennett pitching was unique, it was just the capper on a long game that was mostly brutal and sometimes weird. Its oddities made it stand out, although no one will stick this particular Monday night game in a time capsule for future viewing.

At least not unless one has a grudge against the unborn generation that might open it. Don’t you love August baseball?
