Two unrelated posts; both usability-related:
- I’m sure that Microsoft has used personas in design and evaluation before, but have they advertised it so broadly–even bragged about it?

- This third-party “fix” for Apple’s Mighty Mouse is simple and interesting. Is the original mouse a case of form over function? [Switched]

Interesting idea. I wonder how well it works for users with small hands?
