While Microsoft works to unify the user interface inside of Windows, somebody needs to work on the User Interface on real world devices. Especially the now ubiquitous credit card scanner. They are so confusing, and inconsistent that salespeople tend to walk you through the process, even when it's self-explanetory (and especially when it's not... What's up with hitting CANCEL to use you Visa Check Card as a Credit Card) The people who make those things really need to get together and make them consistent to use.

And here's another gripe. All games should have a consistent pause button that will pause no matter where you are, even in cut scenes, and even allow you to skip cut scenes. I hate fighting a boss watching half of a cut-scene, only to have the phone ring. And then have the start button (which pauses the game according to the instructions) skip the cut scene. Argghhh!
