Simple usability advice here, from a casual observer.
I was sitting down in the shoes section while the girlfriend dissapeared and found herself some comfy plimsoles and notices people using the staff area door on the left here. The access panel (click through image to see notes) is about 1/2 a foot lower than the […]

driveway
Generally speaking I walk past this driveway on the way to and from work. I always find it fairly strange how these people managed to build this driveway without wondering how they get into their house.

The Colgate 360º Toothbrush encompasses […]
Recently I heard a Technation Podcast with Dr Moira Gunn. The episode was with Gerd Leonhard, about the state of the music industry. One thing within the podcast got me thinking. Gerd mentioned the competition between real world music stores and online music distribution and sales. He explained briefly that he believed music stores would […]

A number of things which they are focusing on include the magnetic power cable, Intel Core Duo, improved speed and the vast increase in sheer ability from […]
When i switched my mobile contract near the beginning of last year i chose a neat little popular phone which i had to wait around a week for. The phone, Samsung D500. A 1.3 megapixel camera, full colour screen, music player, speakerphone, small, neat, and it had all the functions I thought i wanted. It […]
