Much as XDA has turned to shit the last couple of years, every now and then a good article appears.

Japan tried to build an operating system for the entire world, then the US government intervened

Very interesting! I have been to Japan many times and I always thought that their UI design is spotless. Wether you are using a terminal to top up your SUICA card or you are buying a ticket to the Airport at the TCAT or using any of the screens across the railway / subway lines, their design in king! I even like the turnstile gates in the metro , they remind me of videogames.
