All, Quiet a few news outlets have taken up this story http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3625911.stm
Professor Shyam Sundar's web site http://www.psu.edu/dept/comm/graduate/Sethuraman_ME.html does not give any details. My question is whether subjects were actually expressing a preference for a particular computer or were simply returning to the same cubical on every visit? Did the computers have identifying marks that subjects were aware of, were computers switched to different locations? Based on past experience I suspect this is just another example of sloppy experimental methodology and over hyped results. derek -- Derek M Jones tel: +44 (0) 1252 520 667 Knowledge Software Ltd mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Applications Standards Conformance Testing http://www.knosof.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PPIG Discuss List ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Discuss admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/discuss Announce admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/announce PPIG Discuss archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40ppig.org/
