News Flash, europeans have front faced cameras on their phones and videocalls (everywhere there is 3G) for years now. And no, they are not using those. I tested vedeocalls twice when they first appeared a few years ago and that was it, never again. It’s simply useless.
I ran into a usability fail that has to exist from windows 3.1. Windows arranges it’s icons/shortcuts/files on desktop column by column. But if you select them with SHIFT (multiple select), it selects them line by line . If you arrange icons by type and you want to delete the pictures, you cannot do that [...]
Let’s take one dead simple thing we all use every day: the bathroom light switch. The majority of the houses (or am I wrong?) have this switch outside the bathroom, and if the door has no glass it’s kind of hard to see if the light is on or off in the bathroom. Put on that [...]

A basic usability test (very cheap also) is logging remote on another person’s computer and watching him/her use the app/website/tool. It’s eye opening. So I have seen my mother (who is not a computer savy person) hovering the page in search of buttons. When she searches things she doesn’t use the keyboard, she presses [...]
DON’T put your form labels inside the inputs. If i start writing into the input and i forget if i had to insert the username or the email address i have to delete everything, pray to god that the programmer made so the label appears again in the field once I click away, and after that [...]
A login account sounds simple but it’s not. I’ve been watching Google Account login form for a while and saw the changes they made over time.
