Usability Quote of the Day

November 21, 2008

In the information age, as computers invade our lives and more and more products contain a chip of silicon, we find that what lies between us humans and our devices is cognitive friction, which is something new and something that we are ill-prepared to deal with. Our engineering skills are highly refined, but when we apply them to a cognitive friction problem, they fail to solve it. -- Alan Cooper, The Inmates are Running the Asylum, p. 92.   (via interaction-design.org)

Galleries: The Hardest Working Page on Your Site

Making galleries work well ...

"Sony Ericsson wants you to choose one of their mobile phones. They've got 17 lovely models to choose from. Perhaps you want the T237? That one seems nice. Or the T630? Or maybe, the K700i?

What's the difference, you ask? Unfortunately, they won't tell you until after you've chosen the one you want. Only then will Sony Ericsson inform you about your chosen model's features are.

Seriously, just pick a model from this list, then we can move along with our exercise. Do you want a W600, a W520a, a W800, a J300a, a T290a, a S710a, a S700i, a K500i, a K700i, a Z500a, a P910a, a T237, a T637, a P900, a T630, a T226, a T616, or that perennial favorite, the T610?"   continued ...   (Via UIE)
