I'm a PC regular who was forced to use an iMac over the past week to

plenty of frustration, confusion, and inefficiency.
It struck me that this experience will help me interpret user research

have the capacity to simulate a clicking feel, so a flat screen pushes back
to mimic what your finger would feel if there were a mechanical button to
press.
I'd like that, but on a much larger scale. I want something the

If the research below makes anyone (re)consider user personas, in the past
week I wrote about how I struggled with how many user personas we needed for
a massive software suite (600+ commands). I also happened to throw in some

One way to handle this would be to remove the icon along with the need to

Digits get grouped differently in different countries, and the separators
differ in different countries. You know this, which is why you're asking, of
course.
Is it likely that the audience for a number in Belgium is not the same as a
number in RSA or Australia? If so, can you format the phone

Yesterday one of my colleagues said that, when solving a problem, the response

Really: Response = Design and Design = Response? Isn't it that Design

One of the reasons I don't like to use My Documents is that many applications

Has anyone else noticed that pre-teen kids are less self-conscious or more
comfortable with video cameras, and also more aware of the remote/asynchronous
audience? I've seen some kids who, when the camera's on, do a great job of
including the remote viewer along with those physically present.
I'm not sure that illiteracy is the problem.
By the way, I'm not in the Excited States and don't understand the reference to
this canon that kids are supposed to be able to read and comment on, as a
demonstration of literacy.
Things are changing. Here's an anecdotal tale: while editing a blog

At work (software company), we're wondering about the typical ratio of
developers to usability staff. I may as well go whole hog and do a proper

Is this an appropriate list of roles?

- Usability testers.
- Software developers.
I think these two statements are on the mark:
