   People actually scroll a lot more nowadays. More over, people rather scroll then click through to view content. Nielsen had a nice little alert a while ago: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9712a.html

   But that's why we have to play it. Think of it as a time capsule made just for us!

   I doubt there was a business model that stated that. It's the very common problem of to munch money and far to much hype. Half of their time is spent living up to the hype - 2+ engines switches! - and the other half spending their cash on f

   Javascript, password managers & regression aside, the thought process behind the article makes sense. What sent up red flags is the only evidence for this UX is anecdotal: "twitter uses so it must be good." When developing UX methods, y

   Very neat project! The flavors.me for developers? The background photographs need to be a little larger. Both the project's and your personal site's backgrounds are 200px to thin for my 15" screen.

   OmniGraffle has been circling the drain in my work-flow for a while now; pen and paper easily beating it out most of the time. Wire-framing should be fast, quick, and recyclable. I've been impressed with Google drawings: it's not bloated (u

   1) What am I looking at? A brief one liner would be nice. 2) Took a while for the first tweet to pop in. A simple "wait" prompt would provide ample user feedback. 3) Color code the pins to the tweets on the left hand side. That would be a s

    Thanks! We actually made it ourselves, believe it or not. Some screen shots and drawings mixed with After Effects.

    I'm all for this. Let's see what we can setup. Reddit's /r/design and /r/webdesign aren't very compelling and usually completely packed up with "28 great lens flares" type spam. Somewhere where we can have a real chat about all aspects of d

    Indeed. The biggest problem is going to be rotary connection for the live and neutral contacts, but the actual housing would be quite solid I'd imagine. Thermoplastic at those dimensions can be extremely durable.

    Looks like good ol' fashion resin 3D printing or rough form injection molding. Most university ID shops have those facilities now-a-days. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_deposition_m

    The UK is notorious for their safety precautions. Not only do all plugs have a fuse in them, but wall outlets are usually behind a local fuse even before a home's circuit breaker. The fold out wings provide a great way to minimize the pos

    It combines the right amount of clean code and tongue-in-cheek sass. Perfect so far.

    Sunken cost is an interesting argument (though "fallacy" is an apt description), but I believe it does not address the design mistake made here. Given the composition of the first UI object (user / pass / submit / register) an user would cl

    This is an excellent example of what is wrong with "UI Design" on the modern web. To many people are interested in the flash and rarely think through the actual user benefit imparted. Animation in interfaces is best when used as an educatio

    I quite like Atlanta. In the last 4 years the community around startups has grown nicely, from the Goog moving into town to ATLhack growing from 4 guys to ... 20 guys! And with GaTech, lots of great potential hires. Angle money is a differe

    i'm with you. I've been using illustrator / ps for years now, and I'm very quick with it (my tablet helps). I probably prefer it over things like this. But, i can see power that tools like this deliver to people who haven't been a gd guy a
