Google Updater and the Apple Human Interface Guidelines

I recently downloaded and installed Google Desktop for the Mac
(won't take the place of my beloved Quicksilver), but it wasn't
Google Desktop that left me scratching my head -- it was the
Google Updater application that's installed along with it.

It doesn't have to be a *great* website. Any old website will do. A HTML
1.0 site with black text and some blue links. A Basecamp account. A
MySpace page. A livejournal. Anything. Show me that you are an actual
participant in the fabulous new "Internet Age" and not still living in
some alternate universe where the web never happened.

Date Format

Dear All,

I am working on an application for a US Federal department. They have been
using the standard date format of mm/dd/yyyy e.g. 04/12/2007. I am of the
belief that using MMM DD, yyyy e.g. Apr 12, 2007 will be better as it puts
less cognitive load on the users.

I am aware of ISO standard (yyyy-mm-dd) but am looking for specific research
data. Is anyone aware of any research on the this? Any eperiences/opinions?

Regards
Alok Jain

What is the one *best* interaction design blog?

I'm updating my feed list. Typically, I find things through
serendipity or links-followed. I figured I'd ask the crowd for wisdom.

What is the one *best* interaction design blog that you absolutely must be read?

[iai-members] NextD takes a slash at "Findability Information Architecture"

I am not sure whether I am qualified to comment on the content of this
article, but it seems like a remarkably fuzzy piece of writing for
someone who heads an organization with the motto of "Defuzz the
future!"

He publishes his opinions in a (if you'll forgive the term as I am using
it literally) retarded PDF format, and then he whines about the fact
that people are currently using a term (IA) differently than he and his
friends did almost twenty years ago.
