Usability articles, two for one

[Seth Nickell <snickell stanford edu>]

Two short articles are at this link:

The first is a great example of accesibility bolstering usability for
everyone, and provides some explanation of why and how this often
happens. Its basic point is that both in the long term (old age) and at
various short instances throughout our day (holding on object in the
other hand, etc) well integrated accessibility-driven improvements can
benefit everyone.

The second addresses the problems of branding taking precedence over
usability, and how this is ultimately a marketing failure (Various
Ximian people might do well to read this wrt to the evolution icon, menu
entry, and title bar vs. the HIG).
