So I am torn. Which would be more unprofessional?
Sending a message mentioning that I work for TandemSeven and helped
define its user-centered design practice. Or to remain neutral and
let the conversations take place and not interfere?
It is tempting to say nothing, this would be a great chance
Except that that research didn't test one of the most common models
found in application design over the past couple decades: primary

But, what about online apps? We

There was a great presentation that addressed this question given by
Luke Wroblewski at this summer's "An Event Apart" in Chicago. "Best
Practices For Form Design" presents the analysis of eye tracking data
to conclude that these things do matter.

This article is about an elementary school group called "The Laptop Club"
with some great sketches of laptop computer interfaces as interpreted by
2nd and 3rd graders in construction paper.

What's interesting here is the insight in
My client, a top interactive design/development agency, is experiencing
rapid acquisition of new clients, and is therefore expanding by opening an
additional office in a new location - Chicago. They have, so far, 5 open

I agree it's a huge shift, and can be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Then again, I've seen personas run amok and make products that fit no
one, so I can't say anything is 100% safe if applied by people who are
foolish, have poor judgment, are evil or inexperienced.

This is a huge shift. A persona is a deep sample with very specific goals,
behaviors and therfore perspective. If you switch to utilizing an architype -

looking at a shallow sample with a lot less specificity. The dyn

Luke W's article (linked to earlier in this thread) was good.
Given that placing the buttons at the bottom right of the form is the least
usable position, I wonder if the rule "OK on the left if buttons are left
align, OK on the right if right aligned" illuminates anything. Are things
placed right
That is interesting =]. Our testing was on internal corporate apps purely
with employees who may have been more accustomed to a certain convention.
Just goes to show that context and convention makes a difference.

I have not done extensive research but the standard has usually been:
If it's a PC, Ok is on the left, Cancel on the right
If it's a Mac, Cancel is on the left, OK is on the right

most PC/Windows applications are done this wa
