one of the key concepts defining "addiction", imho, is that the behavior continues even without the reward, even after the experience becomes hollow, even perhaps painful or at least detrimental.
@dnbrv the homework would entail a painful trial and error process developing a new (to me) research protocol
@Rahul hence my confusion :-)
@dnbrv my user research question is along the lines of how to discover people's error handling methods during the persona research phase.
I'd like to incorporate the different error handling methods into the personas I build - they strike me as useful and actionable intel. Unlike, say, "Bob Builder, a business banking client, has a wife, 2 kids, and 3 dogs"
or "Sally Sales prefers pistachio icecream over chocolate icecream"
yeh, it's very tongue in cheek, they can get away with it under the guise of self-deprecation
very nice food photography too
oddly, the [+][-] buttons next to the quantity fields don't appear in their iphone app. They just have a number and a drop down indicator which then vomits the massive roller into the bottom of the screen.

I think you guys should downvote answers that are clearly wrong and not just point it out in the comments. It's just one rep and you help the community.
I just used it to slap together a site to read a database for a RDMS course. Site took 5 minutes to make, getting the damn project to publish on the server was a nightmare
It's a common problem I've found with MS programming/server/anything. I was throughly impressed SQL Server wasn't god awful, I've been avoiding MS like the plauge for anything development related
A lot of people "do wireframes" without really thinking about what they're for
So many companies even use them as deliverables when they're not meant for that purpose
We're going to end up with a whole crowd of "UX designers" whose only skill is sketching non-real UI wireframes, but who can't actually build or prototype them
So if I draw a rectangle on two sheets of paper and scribble a bit of detail in them and then draw an arrow from one to the other, you call that a prototype?
Yes
Think about what a prototype is in industrial design
Eg. a car
Do car manufacturers show you a blueprint of their new car and call it a prototype?
but you can demonstrate a degree of interactivity with a set of linked wireframes, yes? you couldn't ever do that with a set of blue prints of a car!
Maybe i'm being a bit opaque; the prototypes I build are not just linked wireframes: they include some CSS/javascript to illustrate certain functions or features. I think it depends on the context and how much you need to communicate the concept to the client. would that be a fair comment?
You can't demonstrate interactivity with wireframes, you can only describe it
And describing isn't even remotely as useful as actually showing the interaction
I'm pretty sure blueprints for cars describe how the various components fit together and are intended to move
And of course everything does depend on context, but my complaint was mainly about people who think wireframes are the final deliverable and don't take the next steps
You're obviously an exception given that you can write code :)
Are there any particular patterns on how modal windows should be closed? IT seems to me that clicking outside of the modal window should be equal to a "cancel" action (unless taking an action is required) but I'm not finding much to back that up
Found a modal that's a delete action. Close X and cancel link are the only ways out of it...and Delete is emphasized on the modal which I don't care for
Lately I've been making HTML mockups for some of my answers. Here are two examples:
Interactive table - with many levels of information
