IQ captcha?

i realize that it's part of our job to help people figure out how to use
things but in my years on this planet, it never ceases to amaze me how some
people still defy common logic or sense.

so i was wondering if there was such thing as an IQ test in the form of a
simple captcha that could exclude those who fall below the median IQ from
say, signing up for a website?

The Mobile Twitter Effect

So, not sure how many of you tracked the Zuckerberg keynote last week
at SXSW, but while I was there in Austin, an odd thing happened.

It seemed to me to be the first time I saw Twitter used in a way that
had a negative impact. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the
anger of the crowd at Zuckerberg's keynote interview seemed to be
fueled further by the fact people were venting in Twitter at the same
time.

User experience designers wanted for early stage start-ups in Silicon Valley

I'm currently working at a venture capital firm (Venrock) on a small
incubation team focused on consumer-based experiences for the web, mobile,
and devices. We are continually working on new ideas; we toss out the ones
that don't work (while of course learning from the experience) and pull
together a team of entrepreneurs around the ones with promise.

Design is a key differentiator for all of our projects. There are 5 people
on the incubation team: a product manager, a designer (me), and three
developers.

List vs. Wizard

I don't have any solid user data on this. However, we redesigned a major web
application and used both list and wizard view. Use wizard patterns only
when the application is complex enough and users have to complete the task
in a specific order. Our users (IT administrators) preferred to view
information in a list rather than a wizard because of the ability to
add/manipulate the information quickly
