Interesting interview with Tog - Apple's first usability professional

Another one now working for the Nielsen Norman Group, Bruce Tognazzini was Apple's 66th... oh why don't you just read the post.

Interesting post though, and I agree that 'The worst single fault is throwing away the user’s work.' and 'even a really bad designer, with sufficient user-testing, will eventually be able to cobble together a decent design - the infinite number of monkeys theory - the worst crime is to not test at all.'

His comments on new and old technology, especially the way old tech doesn't die, it just finds a niche and keeps going (think fax machines) are on the money too.

Shame he's plugging his course at the end though - and it was going so well....
