Without a Verb


Here's a little sound bite from Steve Jobs from this New York Times article:
"There are no “verbs” in the iPhone interface,"
he said, alluding to the way a standard mouse or stylus system works. In those systems, users select an object, like a photo, and then separately select an action, or “verb,” to do something to it."

Sometimes simplicity can be achieved by eliminating the verbs.
