Josh is spot on. One of the most important reasons I think FB uses the

is an old technique that has been used since...I would say the very
beginning.

I said HR because of the need to see the employee contract regarding
the ownership of work. So Anne is right, DO NOT beg any questions
about getting your work back to HR. Just request the employee
contract(s) from them...if it comes to that.

Has anyone seen any attempts to replace the standard floppy disk Save

is anyone addressing this archaic icon and how we can replace the

not and I have to say your post was absolutely useless, meaning that

I was just wondering what people thought about the new Microsoft
Surface. Has anyone had a chance to demo it or play with the SDK?
Also, any thoughts on how interaction design will be impacted with MS
Surface technology being used with Windows 7 (due out late 09 early
10)? What preemptive measures
Thanks for your input Steve, but I think you are mistaken about the
Windows 7 touch capabilities.

Using a user's IP address to tell you where they are is NOT a good
idea. The proxy will fool you too often.
For accessibility and language issues I would use a graphical map

If your site is configured for it, look at their activity before they
dropped off. You can also compare their actions to other active
users.
You should be able to determine quite a bit about why a user might

Dragging and dropping can be tricky. Users screen size and res can
have a huge impact. Also, you don't know how many times I have heard
people say, Sorry, I'm not used to mouse pads.
Anyway, my suggestion would be to create a drop-down column that
would allow users to add a row to a target. You

I agree with Katie's comments. Especially for companies who may not
have a wealth of contact options.
In cases where creating a contact page might not be founded, ensure
that ALL the other pages have the contact information on it (standard
header/footer), don't just rely on the homepage for

Also not having a some sort of dialog as Sasha suggests can be

Only the type of connection (i.e. SSL) can encrypt that data. That's

Bryan,
I find it quite contrite that someone would assume that we have
all trained our brains to see beyond advertisements and put them in
our peripheral vision. I think that the reaction to
advertisements is totally dependent on the user as well as how they
identify one.
That being said I do
Needs a lot of work (image display prefs, spell check, column prefs,
etc). Might work though. Site is running slow and quirky.
I agree with Andri that scan ability might be an issue when trying to
reach users already accustomed to the single column display. Again,
easy fix with added preferences.
