    1. because users in the real world will probably end up using only one interface (X or Y), not both.

      In my case, when if I want to use new program for something, I try to use diverse different programs which has all different UIs from each other in order to the best one which fits mostly. Do not many people do like this behavior? btw I think this could be uncontrolled variable

    2. neither the subject nor the experimenter knows which condition is currently being tested

      How can we adapt this for UI testing even though we builded the tested UI? Does this means we need another independent facilitator who does not know about the hypothesis?

    1. txet cibara This is

      Why don't we spell like [ (Arabic something) si sihT ] ? I think writing right-to-left for even left-to-right scripts when the right-to-left scripts are main language is good for their usability

    1. like the vegetable peeler shown here

      I think this example is very nice because it supports equitable usability for both left-handed and right-handed people by having texture both side

    1. there is evidence that serif fonts are faster to read on screen

      In my thoughts, in case of Korean letters, Sans-serif fonts are much more legible because Korean letters are more complex than Alphabets. For example, we use '나눔고딕', '맑은고딕', and '윤고딕' mostly for Korean letters, not '명조' and '바탕'

    1. emit light rather than reflecting it

      In my thoughts, for AMOLED display, since it do not emit light at all when it shows true black color, black background could be the best choice

    1. Sender: shape

      This implies me that different using of alphabet is using shape variable. Then, why cannot we use this shape variable for quntitative objects, by number?

    2. In the classic Mac interface, in fact, even the activation indicator played two roles. When the window was activated, closely spaced horizontal lines filled the title bar, giving it a perceived affordance for dragging.

      What does this means? Can anyone give me some visual explanation, please?

    1. Can you find any other usability issues?

      Changing quantity is inefficient: user have to do keyboard typing even though it could be finished by clicking 'upper triangle' (Flexibility & efficiency)

    1. Emacs, for example, you can edit the same file buffer in two different windows, each of which has a different cursor.

      What does this situation actually mean? Since I've not used Emacs at all, so I cannot understand what this means

    1. The ability of a master to remember board configurations derives from their ability to chunk the board, recognizing patterns from their past experience of playing and studying games

      Then, how about midde between 'legal' and 'random'? When they arranged in legal configuration, but not commonly happened. If master's remembering skill is thanks to only recognizing pattern by their experience, their performance would not better than novices. In this case, the word 'legal' might be changed into 'common' or 'familiar'-like-something.

    2. who cares about 3 significant figures of progress?

      I think that more than 3 significant figures are needed when an estimated time is too long; for example, OS update often takes more than half an hour, and consumed time for 1% progress is nearly a minute so user often feels there is no on-going progress. Therefore, especially, in these cases, I think that designers should give more detailed numbers.

    1. controlled experiment, whose goal is to test a quantifiable hypothesis about one or more interfaces

      What is difference with formative evaluation? Just purpose? In my thoughts, controlled experiments should be done in same condition as formative evaluation, despite its just for testing hypothesis by quntative observations.

    1. you have to read the keys differently.”

      What does this mean? Does the word 'read' means literally or 'sound'? In video, mime actor read country code table and typed it with telephone keys. Then did earlier version not have visual aid for country codes that written in uppercase alphabets?

    2. Some tools attempt to bridge this gap by automatically generating functional code from wireframes,

      I've heard that Adobe Dreamweaver can do that, yet I cannot use it at all. The question is that: How much portion of developing could be done by tools like Dreamweaver? and as a newbie of web programming, does self-coding dominate using these tools?

    1. How do they differ in the kinds of things you can test and get feedback about?

      There could be several differences, but I think two are dominant: 1) difficulty of pointing : Since up, down triangle buttons are too small to point with finger (feel) 2) delay of preview : Since preview window changes manually in low-fi, user will feel bored(?)

      and...

    1. Efficiency

      How about the efficiency of SD?

      I think it could vary large since an intelligent agent(such as Siri) can do something useful by simple command, but if it cannot understand command well, we would fail to do something
