What if the manual-save stopped working and didn't tell you? I suppose it's equally as likely. The example I'm thinking of is losing your network connection while typing an e-mail in GMail. It shows a warning message, but out of the way

I used to work at a company where they did Scrum. We never measured progress by lines of code. The way they measured progress was: 1. Start with "User Stories", or things you want the software to do for your users. 2. Assign each story a

As a programmer, I would be frightened of something that saved my changes automatically, without a way to force a save or verify its saved-ness. What if the auto-save stopped working and didn't tell me?

If you are catering to non-technical users, I would hope they wouldn't have to deal with zip files. Compression could be treated more like metadata, rather than a type of file (i.e. the filesystem transparently compresses them based on usa

It’s something that cannot be done. So we users must find our own bugs; our computers are losers! This doesn't prove that users are capable of finding bugs that computers aren't (theoretically) capable of finding. The sets might be the s

Ok, so younger people use Facebook differently from how older people use it (or, from your point of view, think they use it). Could you explain some of the ways in which these usage patterns differ? What about Facebook do you understand

Do people really use the whole "social bookmarking" part of Delicious? I mean, I've tagged a few things for:whomever, but 99% of my usage has been bookmarking stuff for myself, or looking for stuff I've bookmarked.

The government has to outsource in a governmenty way. So in the US, they're not allowed to unfairly favor one company over another (at least there are rules trying to prevent it). This makes the steak and strippers kind of selling illegal
