Kiko Sold for $258,100 

Typical eBay bid pattern — it went from around $75,000 to $250,000 in the last 12 minutes.

The Decline of WWDC 

Matt Neuburg on the rather crummy food and accommodations at WWDC 2006 earlier this month:

Lunches were plastic salad and plastic sandwiches in plastic containers; breakfast was nearly non-existent. Snacks between talks were dried-up pastry. One evening there was something that pretended to be pizza; it was so bad that people were literally gasping in disbelief.

I pretty much concur completely.

Office 2007 and Fitts’s Law 

Jensen Harris on how the UI designers on the Office 2007 team tried to pay attention to Fitts’s Law. Excellent usability discussion.
