Anil Dash: "I'm disheartened that so many people, especially those in the design community who are (ideally) focused on creating a good experience for users, don't judge an application by the goals it's supposed to accomplish."

Mike Healan: "I am starting to lose faith in the ability of antispyware products to protect people. Lavasoft has delisted adwares due to legal threats in the past. I don't know if they ever started detecting them again. Microsoft has moved most adware down to the ignore list. Other programs have either delisted or downgraded adware detections after receiving letters from their makers."

Jakob Nielsen: "Many design elements work for Amazon.com mainly because of its status as the world's largest and most established e-commerce site. Normal sites should not copy Amazon's design."

Intranet Journal: "Rampant multitasking and a deluge of available information have produced a counterproductive culture and created a paradox: The more we try to do, the less we get done; and the more inundated we are with information, the less time we spend absorbing it."

David Clark: "The problem with today's internet, according to Clark, is that its 30-year-old design, which allowed for the development of exciting new applications (the world wide web, e-commerce, file sharing, you name it), is now stifling further growth. A new architecture could allow for ubiquitous embedded wireless communications devices and sensors. It could also provide for more secure and convenient forms of commerce. A super-high-speed internet could even allow people a world apart to collaborate inside elaborate 3-D virtual arenas, a process called tele-immersion. As for today's internet, new applications and protocols meant to address security issues and wireless and ubiquitous devices may not be enough to solve its underlying problems."

BBC News: "The Pew research found that 48% of those questioned have stopped visiting some websites for fear that they harbour spyware. File-sharing software has been abandoned by 25% of people because it often becomes bundled with adware. It also revealed that 18% of net users have started using an alternative web browser such as Firefox to avoid the security problems associated with Microsoft's Internet Explorer."
