Usability Quote of the Day

February 9, 2012

Most people who encounter computer-based automation at work do not choose the software with which they work, and have comparatively little control over when and how they do what they do. For them, the use of computers can be an oppressive experience, rather than a liberating one. -- Sarah Kuhn, Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996    (via interaction-design.org)

Comfort on the Desktop Goes Hand in Hand

A good technical discussion on the ergonomics of the new Microsoft 4000 keyboard ...

"A Microsoft ergonomics expert discusses how the new Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 breaks the mold and sets a new industry standard.

Microsoft Hardware introduced Microsoft’s first true breakthrough in ergonomic keyboard design since the Natural keyboard came to market over 10 years ago. For Natural keyboard loyalists, this announcement is particularly significant. As this group of fans will readily attest, once you lay your hands on an ergonomically designed split keyboard, you’ll never return to the more common flat keyboard design. Recognizing the need for a variety of comfortable PC-peripheral designs, Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 leads a new line of comfortable products including the Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 and Comfort Optical Mouse 3000. With as much time as people spend on their computers these days, being comfortable is key."   continued ...   (Via Microsoft)
