Comment on Usability flaw in IE8’s address bar by Jude

Totally agree. Took a while for me to realise that too. However, what’s worse is that it happens many times after I am already aware of the problem – the natural selection and clicking of the desired url is exactly where i “X” (delete icon) is. I am surprise no one in microsoft has experienced it? Or are they all using Chrome or Firefox?

Comment on Reuse our Recycling Presentation on Prezi by Alexander Hussain

We started out using the free version of Prezi for a couple of projects where confidentiality was not an issue (like this design competition), but we have since upgraded our membership to the pro version so that we can have the tool available for confidential client-based work as well.

Do you use a version of Prezi for internal-only or client-only presentations, or are all your presentations on Prezi out there for the entire world to see?

Comment on Warning labels, should they make you laugh? by Laura

Too funny! I always enjoy reading these labels too!

Cool little story: I taught a 3 year old that the no diving sign posted every pole in my friends pool meant diving in pool head first means you could smack your head on the floor and die. The only bummer is I was with a bunch of little boys so I had to use a toy boat as a person. Wish there was a Barbie to make the visual aid simplier! He got the point. After that every 5 minutes he pointed to the sign and said “that means no diving or you could die!”

These are both great points. I wonder, however, how old a child would have to be before they understood what the graphic represented, let alone what suffocation meant…

I agree that this is a pretty funny warning sign. Maybe it isn’t designed for the toddler that climbs into the container but for the older sibling that closes the lid…
