    Silverback, from our friends at Clearleft, is a really nice new Mac app for usability testing that makes uses of Macs' built in iSight, the Apple Remote, and more. It's a simple app, but it's extremely well-designed (as you'd expect from Clearleft… More

    http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/blasting-the-myth-of

    A great peice by Milissa Tarquini on the myth that is "the fold." There is a general believe, started by Jakob Nielson back in 1997, that users don't scroll. While it was definitely true back in 1997 that many users were not big scrollers, the res… More

  3. Visit Jakob Nielsen: Web 2.0 'neglecting good design' Jakob Nielsen: Web 2.0 'neglecting good design'

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6653119.stm

  7. Visit The B-List: Dear John The B-List: Dear John

    http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/09/20/dear-john

    James has a little something to say to "John," which may refer to a real person, but doesn't need to. There are a lot of "Johns" out there, especially in the accessibility community. So, "John," whoever you are -- listen up. You just might learn s… More

    A revised version of a previously described script that will open links that have a certain class name in a new window. I'm no Javascript expert, but the way Roger is handling this seems really smart to me.
