There's something very odd going on here. If designers made completely unrealistic assumptions about the physical world when designing technology, then we would blame them (and likely sue them) for technical incompetence. Yet when they make grossly unrealistic assumptions about human nature... we don't blame the designers, we blame the unfortunate people who are just trying to do what the design requires. -- Kim Vicente, The Human Factor, p. 45.    (via interaction-design.org)

Some people look for support on our general support areas, others go first to the support areas of product pages, and still others first look in communities like BigAdmin.

And, when looking for products, some people search, some look by name, while others are more interested in looking by categories or by the function a product solves."   continued ...   (Via Sun.com Design)
