There's nothing ridiculous in Fitts' law.
- xtho 17y agoIt is for notebook (incl. netbook) users who hardly ever use the mouse/trackpad.
- maggit 17y agoJust for reference, so we can all agree on what consitutes Fitts's law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts_law ---- "Fitts's law is used to model the act of pointing", which means it might be less relevant for netbooks, but it still doesn't make it ridiculous. In other news, Fitts's law is totally irrelevant to the point Shuttleworth is making. The problem he is trying to address is that of screen real estate.
