I just spent 2 hours googling some of these guys listed above
For human-computer interaction and usability, I really like Jacob Nielsen and Donald Norman. They wrote many articles over the years which were supremely useful.Do we have any all stars in the data science field?
Rather than cold calling a bunch of angels/vcs, is there some way I can put out a commercial or something? That'd be really great. Thanks.
I've done a lot of research and concluded I want an iPod touch for my phone instead of an iPhone. I'm looking at the hardware and it it's all old, repurposed iPhone stuff. Is there any way to take iPad components and throw them in an iPod, just because? Or even order some compatible chips off a chip manufacturer website? Really difficult to find any info out there... Thanks
I could probably give about a 6% discount because I wouldn't take profit from the transaction savings.
In fact, given the fee is .05% of the transaction, this could be the first service to ever enable micropayments. Perfect for a lot of internet/new technology services. The key is to convert the customer's USD to bitcoin instantly, pay with bitcoin, and convert the received bitcoin back to USD instantly again.
Apparently it's pretty safe and companies are coming out with brain stimulator products that work better than coffee. The research on creativity + athletic abilities is inconsistent, but it seems to consistently work at waking you up and helping with concentration.I've heard foc.us has unsafe devices that spike in currents.Has anyone tried a tcds device?

They're following the convention Facebook is using for their nav bar, which I like. There's a logo, search, and utilities. This helps because many users expect the navigation to be next to the logo. On a behavioral level it creates a sense of comfort by establishing the security of routine/familiarity. The downside/trade off is by placing the elements side by side instead of on top of each other, it reduces scanability.
A lot of drop down menu options. Amazon does a good job with information scent and progressively disclosing more information in the drop down. This keeps the page from being cluttered and helps people navigate to their goal locations quicker and easier.
I like that they have the prices for their products right out front. You don't have to read more to find out. They give the people what they want to see right away.
I could go on with analysis of the design but now seems like a good stopping point.
