The little things

I always like it when I find some small (and previously overlooked) feature in something that I use.

  1. I recently discovered the little tabs you can push in to lock the tube of aluminumfoil, plastic wrap, or wax paper in place! Sooo useful.
  2. My iPhone must have some sort of impedance measuring at the headphone output as it remembers my previous volume settings from device to device.
  3. Honda Civic hybrid – If, when the engine switches off (at a stop light, for instance) I have the windshield wipers on, it reduces their speed until I start moving again.

What are the little things that make you sit up and take note of the designers?
