Cautionary tale on alerts messages. My CPAP greeted me with this gem. Concise √ Informative... kind of? I'm not sure what that means exactly in this context. Alarming √ Is it going to blow up now? How long before it does? Safe to use? Don't want to click OK. #UX #Alert

When you put the iOS home screen into edit mode, the icons jiggle. Theory time: why do you think Apple chose jiggling? Is there a real life concept/metaphor they wanted to associate it with? Guesses in the replies please.
