Usability Quote of the Day

July 4, 2008

The high-tech industry has inadvertently put programmers and engineers in charge, so their hard-to-use engineering culture dominates. Despite appearances, business executives are simply not the ones in control of the high-tech industry. It is the engineers who are running the show. In our rush to accept the many benefits of the silicon chip, we have abdicated our responsibilities. We have let the inmates run the asylum. -- Alan Cooper, The Inmates are Running the Asylum, p. 15.   (via interaction-design.org)

Peugeot Design Competition Winners

"The 3800 contestants in the third Peugeot Design Competition all gave shape to the Peugeot of their dreams. The winning 'Moovie' concept of a small 2 seat electric city car was the vision of young Portuguese designer, Andre Costa. Costa's winning project will now be built into a concept car and exhibited at the next Frankfurt Motor Show. Australian based Englishman, David Dewitt took second place with the 607 Arabesque and 21 year old Zhonghuayi of China placed third in the competition for his ZCC project."

The front of the vehicle is supported by two spheres, with the large rear wheels driving the vehicle independently, (making one electric wheel go faster then the other), enabling up to 360ยบ turns on the spot, ideal for parking and narrow city streets
