More examples for why we shouldn´t be looking towards Windows for examples of ¨good usability¨. It seems like on his way out of Microsoft, Bill Gates had a few things to say on Windows usability.

This is a pretty frequent scenario on how usability gets done in a company. Someone high up can´t find something, gets frustrated, and approves a huge pile of usability funding to fix his problem. Several of my recent clients have come to me because of a similar ¨event¨. I can´t really complain since they pay my bills, but it makes me feel good when there are open source projects out there actively trying to improve usability before users complain.

According to a blog on LinuxWorld which proclaims an arbitrary list of Top 40 Linux Blogs, I’m a B-List blogger. Not that it really means anything besides my blog is heavily linked to. Bling Bling Zack isn’t even listed, and everyone knows it isn’t a top-ANYTHING list without him on it!

The model makes a point by wearing his heart on his sleeve, er, rear. The lovely view is thanks to a friend who went to Adobe MAX earlier this month.
