An OK article. But if you have seen most good usability and UI design texts, they cite actual applications. You have your own, prototype, "hopefully not your application" dialog boxes as examples. If you can't find real-world examples of the problems you're fixing, maybe they're not that big of a deal? (which they ARE, you just haven't been researching this long enough, I am guessing.)

Using the examples I gave and real-life screenshots felt too much like flamebait for my taste. I definitely see your point though.
