I found this article a tough read.
I like Jef Raskins 2 principles :
First Law: A computer shall not harm your work or, through inactivity, allow your work to come to harm.
Second Law: A computer shall not waste your time or require you to do more work than is strictly necessary.
IMO everything else follows from these
