Hi Sarah,
The first link "tagcloud-generator" didn't work for me. I tried
both HTML and Flash versions, but none has generated a cloud.
The "tocloud" worked nice, but I felt a little bit over busy with
the amount of functions. In addition, I didn't figure out how to
change the effect. Or, perhaps
Hi Phillip,
I'm not aware of any academic research in this field, but I've been
involved in couple of projects with similar issues.
In one project, which was about UI design for banking application,

there was really insignificant ch
A lot of businesses have their payroll calendar for the week start on
a Sunday as well which could be why that is the standard. Not sure
if that developed after applications were implemented into these
businesses or if the applications were designed like that following
their exisiting processes...
It all depends on who your audience is.
I personally don't need these extra buttons.
I'm thinking about all those people who are struggling with learning
basics (those boomers who are struggling with what can be delicately
called computer "literacy" issues). Every day, I'm on the phone

Each of the scenarios you described would have a possible benefit, but
for some more than the others. You need to identify most common
scenarios and have that as a default behavior for those three buttons.

It could also be related to Catholicism: God created the Heavens and
the Earth and on the seventh day he rested. Which means that his week

Hi all,
You should get a quick test with some of your expected users and see if they
perform the same with both calendars.
As for your questions, you should have a look at wikipedia :

monday.

I'm going say that it's because that is how paper calendars have

Welcome to
Back to the interaction...
You are also able to drag the label to the message when the message
is in the list or when you have the message open. I have actually
moved to using this interaction more as it allows me to "label" the

That's the pattern used to move icon bars in the microsoft

Christine, it's OT, but since the virtual memory was invented,

When you edit bookmarks in Safari on the iPhone, there is a small icon

than what they had before. If m
