<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Desde hace un tiempo que leo los artículos de <a href="http://uxmyths.com/">UX Myths</a>, un blog muy interesante sobre Experiencia de Usuario donde desmitifican clichés del mundo de UX. Hoy he leído el <a href="http://uxmyths.com/post/4956005041/myth-32-success-happens-overnight">mito número 32</a> escrito por <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/goczazoltan/">Zoltán Gócza</a> sobre el supuesto éxito de las grandes empresas en Internet en el cual se explica como la grandísima mayoría de ellas tard</span>ó<span style="font-style: italic;"> años y muchas horas de trabajo en alcanzar lo que son hoy en día. A continuación tenéis su traducción al castellano:</span></p>
<p>El iPod de Apple revolucionó el mercado de reproductores MP3 en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, ¿cierto?  Amazon cambio el modelo de venta de libros en un instante, ¿verdad?  Bueno, en realidad no lo hicieron. Sin importar lo que pueda parecer desde fuera.</p>
<p>El hecho es que conlleva muchos años el convertirse en un éxito de la noche a la mañana incluso para los emprendedores en Internet.  Años de duro trabajo, aprendizaje y experimentación y muchos fracasos en el camino.  Y a veces persiguiendo un proyecto que disgusta a casi todo el mundo, como el desarrollo de Gmail con &#8220;<a id="me0t" title="Crazy Stuff Javascript" href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;langpair=auto%7Ces&amp;u=http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2009/01/overnight-success-takes-long-time.html&amp;tbb=1&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;twu=1&amp;usg=ALkJrhhbT1S1X1nT6zlmppky5BKbK228kw">ese código loco llamado Javascript</a>&#8220;.</p>
<h4>Aparentes éxitos instantáneos que tardaron tiempo en lograrse:</h4>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Amazon:</strong> &#8220;Amazon empezó en 1994 pero empezó a agregar libros en 1996, primero se centraron en conseguir nuevos usuarios.  No añadieron los CDs hasta 1998 y no fue hasta 2001 que anunciaron ganancias.  Es fácil ignorar esto, y ver su éxito a partir de este punto&#8230; &#8220;- <a id="rdsw" title="Youre just getting started" href="http://www.contrast.ie/blog/youre-just-getting-started/">You’re just getting started</a></li>
<li> <strong>Twitter:</strong> Biz Stone, fundador de Twitter, había estado creando servicios de blogging, para móviles y redes sociales durante 8 años antes de fundar Twitter. Dice: &#8220;El tiempo, la perseverancia, y diez años de intentos te hacen ver exitoso de la noche a la mañana.&#8221; &#8211; <a id="h::7" title="Timing Lessons" href="http://www.bizstone.com/2010/09/timing-lessons.html">Timing Lessons</a></li>
<li> <strong>Apple iPod:</strong> Pasaron tres años hasta que el iPod se convirtió en un éxito instantáneo.  &#8220;El primer iPod fue lanzado en 2001. Durante un año, Apple estuvo investigando cómo mejorar su ergonomía en su segunda versión.  Pero no fue hasta la cuarta versión en 2004 que las ventas empezaron a despegar. &#8220;- <a id="ffx4" title="Apples Overnight Success!" href="http://www.3strandinnovation.com/blog/2009/10/01/apple%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Covernight%E2%80%9D-success-part-3/">Apple’s “Overnight” Success!</a>, originalmente discutido en el brillante libro de Bill Buxtons <a id="krwp" title="Sketching User Experiences" href="http://www.amazon.com/Sketching-User-Experiences-Interactive-Technologies/dp/0123740371">Sketching User Experiences</a>.</li>
<li> <strong>37signals:</strong> &#8220;Cuando pusimos en marcha Basecamp hace cinco años, creo que había menos de 2.000 personas suscritas a nuestro feed RSS.   Añade unos cuantos miles más que visitaban el sitio manualmente y es probablemente razonable suponer que nuestra audiencia  inicial fue menor de 5.000 personas.<br />
Por los estándares de hoy, ¡eso es muy poco!  Y ese público incluso nos había tomado unos años formarlo.&#8221; &#8211; <a id="sfda" title="Overnight success takes years" href="http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1624-overnight-success-takes-years">Overnight success takes years</a></li>
<li> <strong>Gmail:</strong> &#8220;Empezamos a trabajar en Gmail en Agosto de 2001. Durante mucho tiempo a casi nadie le gustaba.   [...] Bastante gente pensaba que debíamos acabar con el proyecto, o tal  vez &#8220;reiniciarlo&#8221; como un producto de empresa con software nativo, no este código loco llamado Javascript.   Incluso cuando llegamos al punto de su lanzamiento el 1 de abril de  2004 &#8211; dos años y medio después de empezar a trabajar en él &#8211; mucha gente dentro de Google predecía su perdición. &#8220;- <a id="c0yy" title="Overnight success takes a long time" href="http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2009/01/overnight-success-takes-long-time.html">Overnight success takes a long time</a></li>
<li> <strong>FedEx:</strong> La idea de Frederick W. Smith sobre un servicio de mensajería urgente nació en  1965, FedEx empezó en 1973 (con sólo 7 envíos en su primer día), en  los primeros 26 meses de operaciones tuvo una pérdida de 29 millones de dólares,  y sólo a finales de los 1970 llegó a ser un éxito.  &#8211; <a id="hqu_" title="Frederick W. Smith: No Overnight Success" href="http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_38/b3900031_mz072.htm">Frederick W. Smith: No Overnight Success</a> y <a id="l4ds" title="FedEx Corporation: The Creation of Overnight Air-express Industry" href="http://www.successprinciplesonline.com/business-success-stories/fedex-corporation-the-creation-of-overnight-air-express-industry/898.htm">FedEx Corporation: The Creation of Overnight Air-express Industry</a></li>
<li> <strong>The Beatles:</strong> &#8220;The Beatles parece que aparecieron en la escena con una serie de canciones número 1 y una aparición en el show de Ed Sullivan en 1964.   Pero habían estado tocando en pequeños clubes de Liverpool y  Hamburgo desde 1957, y aunque tenían una buena masa de seguidores desde hacía tiempo, su primer gran éxito fue &#8216;Sgt. Peppers&#8217;, lanzado en 1967.&#8221; &#8211; <a id="bzvf" title="Overnight Success: It Takes Years" href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2009/01/overnight-success-it-takes-years.html">Overnight Success: It Takes Years</a>, ver también el libro de Malcolm Gladwell <a id="c3lc" title="Outliers" href="http://www.amazon.com/Outliers-Story-Success-Malcolm-Gladwell/dp/0316017922">Outliers</a> con una explicación detallada.</li>
<li> <strong>&#8230;otro ejemplo es Tiger Woods:</strong> A pesar de que era el más joven golfista que ganó el Másters, había  estado practicando golf prácticamente toda su vida, &#8220;era un niño  prodigio, introducido al golf cuando aún no tenía ni dos años de edad&#8221;. &#8211; <a id="h.q1" title="Tiger Woods en Wikipedia" href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;langpair=auto%7Ces&amp;u=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Woods&amp;tbb=1&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;twu=1&amp;usg=ALkJrhjPiaow-FfZ6bBeEcZmYP6NvI9zqg">Tiger Woods (Wikipedia)</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Más en la idea del éxito instantáneo:</h4>
<ul>
<li> &#8220;La noción del éxito de la noche a la mañana es muy engañosa y, de hecho más  bien perjudicial para cualquier esperanza de crecimiento sostenible a largo plazo en esta industria.   [...] sea cual sea el negocio, el gran éxito necesita años para  construirse y hay muy pocos ejemplos de lo contrario&#8221;. dice <a id="g1tz" title="Daniel Ek" href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;langpair=auto%7Ces&amp;u=http://www.spotify.com/int/blog/archives/2009/10/08/overnight-success-takes-a-long-time%25E2%2580%25A6/&amp;tbb=1&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;twu=1&amp;usg=ALkJrhhQvpieXNmXLne8lQzemwmBb0mhCw">Daniel Ek</a>, cofundador de Spotify. &#8220;El éxito instantáneo toma un largo tiempo. Cogiendo una cita de Daft Punk &#8211; work it  harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger, more than ever,  hour after hour, our work is never over.” (&#8216;<span style="font-style: italics;">trabaja más duro, mejóralo, más rápido, nos hace más fuertes, más que nunca, hora tras hora, nuestro trabajo nunca se termina</span>&#8216;)</li>
<li> <a id="j8n:" title="Seth Godin" href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;langpair=auto%7Ces&amp;u=http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2006/05/overnight_succe.html&amp;tbb=1&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;twu=1&amp;usg=ALkJrhiKIWVBfSwbk0lRBJYPWh3nqEhCuA">Seth Godin</a> afirma que &#8220;En el camino, algunas personas se han entrenado para creer  que el único tipo de éxito que vale la pena es el de la noche a la mañana.  Que si no alcanzas el número uno durante la primera semana, has fracasado.   Que si tu interfaz no es perfecta de buenas a primeras, o si no tienes a 5.000 personas haciendo cola el día de la inauguración de tu tienda, que has  fallado.&#8221;</li>
<li> Barrie Bergman escribe en su <a id="z:ei" title="manifiesto" href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;langpair=auto%7Ces&amp;u=http://changethis.com/manifesto/show/67.05.OvernightSuccess&amp;tbb=1&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;twu=1&amp;usg=ALkJrhimyMRKiUUyoEKDU7SbQrCkzmz-lw">manifesto</a> ChangeThis &#8220;Personalmente, nunca he conocido un éxito inmediato.  He conocido gente que ha hecho algo bien durante mucho tiempo y se les descubrió de repente. Entonces todo el mundo asume que salieron de la nada, que su fama sucedió en un momento.&#8221;</li>
<li> &#8220;El éxito de la noche a la mañana es realmente la sobre-exposición a la noche.&#8221;, dice <a id="kk__" title="Jonathan Campos" href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;langpair=auto%7Ces&amp;u=http://www.jonathanfields.com/blog/the-dirty-little-secret-to-overnight-success/&amp;tbb=1&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;twu=1&amp;usg=ALkJrhgaZSWX3UCMy13ZFeGuBt_-6wc9rg">Jonathan Fields</a>.</li>

<p>Ah, y sí, YouTube es una excepción.  Aunque pasaron cinco años para que acabara siendo rentable.</p>

No te gusta el multitasking que ha implementado Apple en su nueva versión del sistema operativo del iPhone? Es tu <strong>iPhone 3G muy lento con multitarea</strong>? <strong>Desactiva la multitarea</strong> siguiendo estos simples pasos sin necesidad de hacer jailbreak otra vez&#8230;</p>
<p>Mediante <strong>SSH</strong> navega al siguiente directorio &#8220;<code>/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app</code>&#8221; y busca el archivo &#8220;<code>N82AP.plist</code>&#8220;. Ábrelo con el bloc de notas, busca la palabra &#8220;<code>multitasking</code>&#8221; y cambia el valor de <code>&lt;multitasking&gt;</code> de <code>&lt;true/&gt;</code> a <code>&lt;false/&gt;</code>. Reinicia el iPhone y ya está!</p>
<p>Gracias a <strong>Pony-Ony</strong> por el truco!</p>
<h2>Desactivar multitasking en un iPhone sin jailbreak (actualización)</h2>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/disable-multitasking-in-ios4-no-jailbreaking-needed/#comment-2025" target="_blank">Stephan</a> sugiere que también se puede desactivar la multitarea en un iPhone sin jailbreak instalando <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm" target="_blank">Total Commander</a> (30 días de prueba gratis, Windows sólo). Descarga el <a rel="nofollow" href="http://code.google.com/p/t-pot/" target="_blank">plugin T-PoT</a> y navega a través de tu dispositivo Apple hasta encontrar el archivo “<code>N82AP.plist</code>” que seguramente estará en “<code>private/var/mobile/n82ap</code>“. Abre el archivo y cambia el valor de multitasking de <code>&lt;true/&gt;</code> a <code>&lt;false/&gt;</code>. Guarda el archivo y reinicia tu iPhone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1168" title="sleep-cycle-works-in-ipod-touch" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sleep-cycle-works-in-ipod-touch-600x348.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="348" /></p>
<p><strong>Sleep Cycle</strong> is one of the coolest apps in the Apple Store. It allows you to monitor your sleep cicles and has an alarm that wakes you up at the best time you need to wake up hence you always wake up fresh and without that tired sensation of having slept a lot but not rested at all.<br />
The app is only supported for the iPhone since the screen in the <strong>iPod Touch</strong> doesn&#8217;t dim and the device can become hot. I have been using it in my iPod Touch (it&#8217;s the 32GB version) for more than two weeks and it works great. I use <a rel="nofollow" href="http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TX953ZM/A?cid=AOS-EMEA-SHOP-GoogleBase-UK">a case to protect my iPod Touch</a> and still doesn&#8217;t get hot at all during the night.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1169" title="sleep-cycle-instructions" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sleep-cycle-instructions.gif" alt="" width="190" height="91" /></p>
<h3>Instructions</h3>
<p>To use Sleep Cycle in your iPod Touch follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Update the iPod Touch to its <strong>latest OS version</strong> (4.0 or higher <small>(currently available 4.1)</small>)</li>
<li>Go to <strong>Settings</strong> &gt; <strong>General</strong> &gt; <strong>Auto-Lock</strong> and select <strong>Never</strong><br />
<small>(Don&#8217;t worry, disabling auto-lock will not disable the password lock feature in your device)</small></li>
<li>Go to the iTunes Store and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleep-cycle-alarm-clock/id320606217?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D2">buy Sleep Cycle</a></li>
<li>Just to be sure, leave Sleep Cycle running during the day to see if the device becomes hot.</li>
<li>Before going to sleep, <strong>close all the other apps running in the background</strong> (specially Skype).</li>
<li>Do not put the iPod Touch under the pillow.</li>
<li>Put your device to charge and go to sleep. The app will wake you up in your lightest sleeping phase :)</li>
</ol>
<p>The first two days the app will &#8220;learn&#8221; your sleeping patterns so results may not be very accurate. Although it works perfect for me (and many other people commenting about it on the Internet) I cannot guarantee that it will work for everyone so please download the app at your own risk. If it doesn&#8217;t work it&#8217;s just  £1.</p>
<p>By the way, there are also more <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/products?q=sleep+phase+alarm+clock">professional sleep phase alarm clocks</a> which work much better, they&#8217;re about £100-200 but if having a good rest is important to you consider getting one.</p>

<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/disable-multitasking-in-ios4-no-jailbreaking-needed/#comment-2025" target="_blank">Stephan</a> suggests you can also disable multitasking on a <strong>non-jailbreaked iPhone</strong> by installing <a href="http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Total Commander</a> (30 days free trial, Windows only). Then download and install the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/t-pot/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">T-PoT plugin</a> (free, open source) to navigate through your Apple device and find the &#8220;<code>N82AP.plist</code>&#8221; file at &#8220;<code>private/var/mobile/n82ap</code>&#8220;. Open the file and change the multitasking value from <code>&lt;true/&gt;</code> to <code>&lt;false/&gt;</code>. Save the file and restart your iPhone.</p>
<p>To learn how you can jailbreak your iPhone step-by-step have a look at these ebooks on <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&#038;field-title=iphone&#038;field-binding_browse-bin=&#038;Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.y=11&#038;node=&#038;field-dateyear=&#038;field-publisher=&#038;redirect=true&#038;sort=relevancerank&#038;search-alias=stripbooks&#038;field-isbn=&#038;ref_=sr_adv_b&#038;unfiltered=1&#038;field-subject=&#038;Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.x=47&#038;field-datemod=&#038;field-dateop=&#038;__mk_en_GB=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&#038;field-keywords=jailbreak&#038;emi=&#038;field-author=&#038;_encoding=UTF8&#038;tag=xavest-21&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450" rel="nofollow">Jailbreaking your iPhone from scratch</a></strong>.</p>

<p class="strong">To switch to a background app (multitask) in your iPhone or iPod Touch iOS4 <strong>press the square button twice fast:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img title="square-button-iphone" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/06/square-button-iphone.png" alt="" width="56" height="51" /> <img title="square-button-iphone" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/06/square-button-iphone.png" alt="" width="56" height="51" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The four most recently used  apps will appear at the bottom of the screen. You can <strong>scroll your finger to right and left</strong> to view more opened apps and <strong>control the music player too</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Apps that are not multitasking compatible will still need to be started again</strong>. Some of the apps that I&#8217;ve got working on multitask right now are WordPress, LinkedIn or Dropbox. While Skype, Twitter, TeamViewer or MobileRSS haven&#8217;t been updated yet.</p>
<p>To close an app <strong>tap the app without releasing and wait 2 seconds</strong>, then click the red rounded button.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2006" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ipod.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="280" /></p>
<p>Although iPod devices have one of the best OS at the moment, there are some tweaks that could be improved IMHO.</p>
<h3>Enable iPod buttons while connected and playing iTunes</h3>
<p>If the iPod is connected to the computer, it would be great to skip songs, pause them or change volume through iPod buttons.</p>
<h3>Play by rating through the iPod</h3>
<p>Why I can rate my songs but can&#8217;t play them later by its rating? Alternative solution: Plug your device to a computer, turn it on, go to iTunes, create a new playlist, order iPod music by rating, add songs to the playlist you just created.</p>
<h3>Play Count is not optimized in iPod</h3>
<p>The Play Count of a song is only increased when hearing a song completely. That means that if you skip the last seconds of a song, it will not count as heard. It is really usual to skip the last part of a song. Last.fm has the scrobbling feature in which you can customize the percentage of song listened to count it as heard.</p>
<h3>Play songs while connected to the computer</h3>
<p>Ok, during disk mode it can&#8217;t be playing (well it could but lets ignore this). But it is frustrating that the iPod gets &#8220;blocked&#8221; while connected. Can&#8217;t do anything, neither access the configuration.<br />
Alternative solution: To play songs while charging battery read this other post that talks about <a href="http://xaviesteve.com/apple-ipod-personal-tricks/">how to play songs while charging your battery</a>.</p>
<h3>Annoying waiting screen when ejecting iPod</h3>
<p>When ejecting the iPod, a &#8220;OK to disconnect&#8221; message appears and doesn&#8217;t let you get rid of it. You just need to wait 5-10 seconds until it disappears.</p>
<h3>Delete songs through the iPod</h3>
<p>This may not be really necessary but it can be useful to keep a good music library tidy or if you don&#8217;t have access to iTunes easily.</p>
<h3>iPod pauses when audio is unplugged but doesn&#8217;t play when audio is plugged again</h3>
<p>It is nice to auto-pause, but an auto-play would be amazing.</p>
<h3>Homebrew games for iPod inside original OS (no iPod Linux, Rockbox&#8230;)</h3>
<p>Haven&#8217;t really investigated on this but I could only find text games.</p>
<h3>iPod dependancy with iTunes</h3>
<p>Thank God we have alternatives. Interested? Have a look at the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=itunes+alternatives+%2Bipod">iTunes alternatives</a>.</p>
<h3>Lock button is really damn unergonomic</h3>
<p>Is it me? I mean, it is so difficult to lock the iPod&#8230;</p>
<p>Of course, we could ask for open source OS, use of XML or Linux compatibility, but we know that they won&#8217;t even think about it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Listen music from iPod while charging through USB</h3>
<p>First, connect your iPod to the computer. The music will stop. Now, eject it but do not remove the USB plug. Wait for the &#8220;OK to disconnect&#8221; message and press Ok. The screen should go back to its main menu. Now you can play whatever you want, or even play games!</p>
<h3>Play your iPod&#8217;s music in any computer</h3>
<p>Give <a href="http://www.getsharepod.com/">SharePod</a> a try.</p>
<h3>True random playing in iPod</h3>
<p>Create a playlist and:</p>
<ol>
<li>Add only those with Play Count = 0 or</li>
<li>Add those whose Last Played is 1-4 months ago</li>
</ol>
<p><em>More to come&#8230;</em></p>
