Always include the batteries: Why Margaret Lomas is off my reading list
1 / 22
http://facibusreviews.com/blog/2007/05/23/always-include-the...
Ever buy a toy as a child and race home, open it, and discovour that it is useless without the batteries? Toy marketers caught on a long time ago that a prominent “Batteries not included” label was appreciated by parent and child alike, because unmet expectations can be avoided. Some include the batteries now (Nintendo do this for their Wii) - I believe that if you make something, you should always include the batteries. Margaret is off my reading list because she didn't include the batteries

Healthcare equality for all species
5 / 1

I received a joke the other day that contained a very serious message: access to healthcare is easier for pets than people. I looked at some statistics for hip replacement surgery here in Australia and was shocked by the average waiting times.

User-centred signage and the search for relevance
24 / 3
http://skonkwerks.net/facibusreviews/index.php/2007/04/25/us...
Zern Liew writes an excellent article on signage design. He describes walking down Elizabeth Street in Sydney trying to find number 410, and gives some examples of what might work better, and best of all.
It is worse when you are driving down an unfamiliar street, especially at the end of a long stressful drive. Unknown territory, inadequate signage on top of heavy traffic and surrounded by impatient drivers.

26 / 3
http://skonkwerks.net/facibusreviews/index.php/2007/04/25/we...
This “webscab” free ebook debate raises the whole question of profit models of ebook vs pbook (paper/hard copy).
Presto the ebook author finds some common ground with Howard Hendrix, SFWA’s Vice President in charge of offensive ranting.
Scott Sigler responds to Presto’s post thus: You’re saying that the eBooks are a valid form of revenue for you - but why are you putting out eBooks rather than paper books?

Parking Wars: CompUSA vs. PR Flack
24 / 4
http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/7011/page/1
Charlene Aldinger, Director of Public Relations at Bishop Museum, posts a public rant at Complaints Board after her daughter's car and that of another woman are towed from a CompUSA parking lot. By the time the ordeal is over, she's calling for a national boycott and demanding reparations. Readers don't turn out to be too sympathetic.
