Discovered an annoying difference between the Fire TV and Apple TV versions of the YouTube TV apps this morning. I wouldn’t be so annoyed if the feature wasn’t so helpful.
On the Fire TV, the Select button takes the user back to the previously watched channel which can be super helpful when trying to check in on a couple games without using Multiview.
On the Apple TV, the Select button pauses the current show which really does not make a whole lot of sense to me. Like the Fire TV remote, the Apple TV remote also has a Pause button so why use the Select button to perform a function that already has a dedicated button? It’s not great UX design especially for those households that have streaming devices from multiple vendors.
Being a solution manager myself, it is somewhat relieving that even Google makes mistakes like this from time to time, but it is a great opportunity for the two product teams to get together and create consistent user experiences.

The architecture of the Thompson Center in Chicago’s north Loop always fascinated me. The building is exceedingly different than anything around it while seeming to fit right in at the same time. The food court in the lower level was convenient and had great variety.
I can’t wait to see Google’s plans for the building become a reality.

It is absolutely unacceptable to give in to disgusting and clearly racist politicians hell-bent on taking us back two or three generations in thinking. We need to expect more from our university leaders and politicians. Someone needs to be strong enough to say no!

Stories like this help remind me that businesses can make a positive difference and do amazing things when they are actually owned and run by actual humans. When you do right by your employees and customers, success is sure to follow.
