hoverIntent jQuery Plug-in
may 2009 by bobthecow
hoverIntent is a plug-in that attempts to determine the user's intent... like a crystal ball, only with mouse movement! It works like (and was derived from) jQuery's built-in hover. However, instead of immediately calling the onMouseOver function, it waits until the user's mouse slows down enough before making the call.

Shaping user interface barriers
october 2008 by bobthecow
In general when you design a user interface, you want to lower the barrier to entry as low as possible so that the most users are able to use it, and are able to use it as quickly as possible, and as often/frequently as possible.

My least favorite chunk of iTunes on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
october 2008 by bobthecow
These two links provide no feedback whatsoever. No hover feedback. No click feedback. No "I'm doing something now" feedback. Nothing. Who decided this was a good idea? Some interface designer at Apple needs their oxygen privileges revoked.
