   The following, classic comic speaks more to Windows-style UI pathologies, but it seems appropriate here as well: http://okcancel.com/comic/4.html

   OT, I am not familiar with GitHub and I know it's much more than a download site. As a Download site, however, I don't think it's very user friendly. You think you've have what you want when you see the file icon but that isn't clickable. 'Raw' doesn't sound very good and neither does 'History' Then 'Downloads' link looks like a link to a more general page than the Download link for this file in particular. Through…

   Yup, it would appear that "tables are back" in a sense. Layout should be intuitive and easy. the table metaphor clearly works... maybe we should just accept it ! Reminds me of this comic strip from 12 years ago: http://okcancel.com/comic/98.html

   That reminds me of this gem from back in the day: http://okcancel.com/comic/98.html ... When people realized that you could, painfully, use CSS for layout and dump layout tables altogether.

   Oleksandr, I can't help but be reminded of http://okcancel.com/strips/okcancel20031010.gif :) To be fair, your software probably was not intended to be used by anyone else and publishing it to Github is just for sharing the underlying idea.

    I hate the Blogger AJAX-loading. They made something so simple (displaying a blogpost) so complicated and slow. Overengineering at its best. Related comic: http://okcancel.com/strips/okcancel20050916.gif

    Relevant: http://okcancel.com/strips/okcancel20031003.gif Touch interfaces work well for small, handheld devices. They break down badly for anything larger.

    (Ignoring the article itself here) The top picture reminded me of this ok/cancel comic strip: http://okcancel.com/comic/3.html I know it's not the environment where you'd normally use the device, but still - how are you even supposed to hold it?

    This comic is 10 years old now, and still as relevant as ever: http://okcancel.com/comic/3.html [Minority Users] I wonder what cognitive scores you've got to exhibit in order to be an on-camera operator for the news?

    If you want to learn usability, this is a good introduction: http://okcancel.com/comic/1.html The real reason Web Designers suck at Web Design is that they use different tool from the developers, and a pixel perfect layout will not survive contact with 'the enemy'. Where 'the enemy' = different default font sizes, fractionally different rendering rules for different browsers (and different versions of the same brows…
