Thankfully, this was in fact a drill: there was no inbound missile headed toward the islands. However, the message had been inadvertently sent live to cell phones across the islands rather than to the test network it had been meant for. Since this incident occurred, there has been extensive news coverage about the operator who was responsible for

If you follow the design guidelines in this article, users will know how to use your tabs without further exploration or error-prone guessing.

In our research, we have seen many ecommerce purchases side-tracked or abandoned by users who did not have a coupon to put in the coupon code field. Providing a coupon field signals to users that there is a deal to be had. If that deal is not readily visible, many users will leave the checkout page to look through the site, or even leave the site

We wanted to make sure changes in the 4 tone-of-voice dimensions would be noticeable to our users, and not just theoretical concepts. In preparation for an upcoming study, we used these 4 dimensions to create paired tone-of-voice samples for made-up websites from 4 industries (2 samples per industry). Both of the samples within in each pair were

In digital systems, customers interact with the representation of the brand in the form of websites and other interactive services, making behavior a crucial attribute of brand.

When faced with this choice, most people believe the first option is more likely. In fact, 54% of UX practitioners chose option A, because it tells a meaningful story with a cause to explain the observed effect.

It’s true that different channels have different capabilities, and some tasks may be optimally supported on one channel. However, we cannot assume that, because a channel is not ideal for a particular task, it will not be selected for that task. Some people may not have access to the optimal channel at a given moment in time — for example

As the concept of a connected world is becoming more and more popular, different types of smart home appliances have become first choice for millions of families. And because of this, the cyber attacks on IoT are changing to multiple modes. Outlaws can access all connected appliances by only hacking one router. According to Helpnetsecurity, U.S

2018 showed us an accelerated growth in cyber threat activities. Data breaches, attacks using malicious software and insider threats were among the most familiar forms of attack.

Some websites just remove their comparison functionality altogether for small devices. If at all possible, you should try to support some level of comparison on mobile, but it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to show more than 2 items at a time in a comparison table. Remember that on smaller screens, fewer rows will be visible at a time and more

In Web design, there's much confusion about the "page fold" concept and the importance of keeping the most salient information within a page's initially viewable area. (That is, in fact, the definition: "above the fold" simply means "viewable without further action.") During the Web's first years, users often didn't scroll Web pages at all

For example, I came across a site that used the following ALT text for its logo: "Link to home page using the IDEAS logo: two swooshes surround ideas and a sun is rising in the background."
