Hi Kunal,
Chauncey has kindly listed most of the references on this topic I'm aware
of.
As it happens I recently had a request for a blog article which I had
written on this topic, but which had gone offline. I have reposted it on my
current blog, and it may be of interest:

Hi all,
I could use a (reasonably long) background sound of people talking - the
atmosphere of a social gathering or something like that.
Does anyone have good pointers as to where to search?
Thanks,

Thanks everybody for your input!
I'd like however to slightly correct the direction of the thread. I am not
testing the choice of platform for my solution, and I am not testing
managerial and marketing decisions. These topics are of course important and
deserve a separate research and

Hi all,
Mind blowing was the praising comment I heard most at this
conference. So it was: set up in Florence, you can't help but feel the
spirit of Leonardo da Vinci and the age of a new Renaissance.
Below is a selection of presentations which made a lasting impression on me.

Dear All,
We are currently tackling a challenge of working towards a shared
definition of User Experience.
This initiative was launched in March 2008 when a questionnaire on

One other key difference, as I understand it, is that iRise has
collaboration capabilities, but Axure does not.

i'm not familiar with the degree of iRise's collaboration abilities (given
the pricing, I'm sure they're extensive), however, the most recent release
of Axure (v 5) has a 'Shared Project' capability, which allows for
collaboration on projects.

immerse middle school girls in discipline-specific science,
technology, engineering and mathematics activities.
You might look at it for some insights.
Am I just retarded or is the canvases window in the new OmniGraffle
really confusing? The icons next to each layer only tell you which
ones are NOT active, not the ones that are (i.e., visible icons
indicate a negative, not a positive). And when you mouse over, a bunch
of icons come up
I found working with SimpleMachines (http://www.simplemachines.org/)
very easy compared to phpBB. It even has a web install / upgrade. I

the same group who made WordPress.
A.[ ] User is retarded
B. [ X ] Layer icons are poorly implemented
I completely agree. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to edit a
shared layer the other day because I couldn't make it the active layer (I
was copy/pasting something from another layer).

A piece that seems to be missing from this discussion is the context.
Is your application a financial application in which a negative number

some other application?

When I was a graduate student, I worked on a simple cardsorting
