Very nice approach to get vis­i­tors to prove that they are actual humans and not (spam)robots. A jQuery captcha approach that asks the vis­i­tor to slide/unlock an ele­ment like on the iPhone.

Much bet­ter that the nor­mal captcha meth­ods where users have to type in let­ter com­bi­na­tions that are so hard to read that I find my self  press­ing the “can’t read the let­ters above” but­ton a lot.

Not really a new arti­cle of Jakob Nielsen — but a very inter­est­ing one for small busi­nesses like ours who want to be dif­fer­ent by using usabil­ity test­ing in their devel­op­ment process.

Sum­mary:
Usabil­ity is like cook­ing: every­body needs the results, any­body can do it rea­son­ably well with a bit of train­ing, and yet it takes a mas­ter to pro­duce a gourmet outcome.

Sum­mary:

Web users spend 80% of their time look­ing at infor­ma­tion above the page fold. Although users do scroll, they allo­cate only 20% of their atten­tion below the fold.

Jakob Nielsen has posted a new arti­cle about Web Usabil­ity guide­lines. Quite shock­ing is the fact about “the fold” where I also thought that this wasn’t an issue any­more — but accord­ing to Jakob Nielsen 80% of Web usabil­ity guide­lines from the 1990s are still in force.

Very inter­est­ing and nice arti­cle to read — which made me more alert to the way we should design our websites.

From all the pre­view movies I’ve seen of the upcom­ing ver­sion of the CS5 ver­sion of Pho­to­shop you can see that Adobe didn’t just to the anual trick and pasted a new ver­sion num­ber on it. This time (also because its a anniver­sary edi­tion) they are really chang­ing and adding fea­tures that the com­mu­nity has been ask­ing for ! Things like the “Save As to Orig­inial Folder” and the “Close All and an option to save al changes” is really nice.

Check out some great new fea­tures from Adobe Labs
