Garr Reynold wrotes a funny article about the “Zen” in the presentation-style of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. It’s not too difficult to assume who’s closer to the Zen ;-)

I like this list, Garr quoted:

• Simplicity
• Subtlety
• Elegance
• Suggestive, rather than the descriptive or obvious
• Naturalness (i.e., nothing artificial or forced),
• Empty space (or negative space)
• Stillness, Tranquility
• Eliminating the non-essential

It’s about interface design, isn’t it? It’s not the whole truth, sure… but it is the right way.

And after reading the Zen article, read this “How to Run a Useless Conference”. It’s on the same mood and the topics aren’t that divergent you may think.
