+1 Article says: "This is because users don’t have to tab as much." Strongly disagree - 'average', non-technical users simply don't tab between fields. They mouse and click, mouse and click, etc. I can't remember ever seeing a user in a fie

Most interesting that signups increased despite the only route to sign-up being 'below the fold' - users didn't mind scrolling through the whole thing to see the call-to-action. Some gaze plots on Nielsen's site show people only allocate 20
