Scholarships/Grants for Grad School

I'm in the process of applying for grad school, looking to learn about and study the usability of public transit systems.

Howdy interaction designers and the people who love them!

Buttons are dead, Google killed them

Hello everyone. 

I've made a post on some thoughts about the user experience and UI handling at google.com homepage following the adoption of Instant search.

I think google need to ditch the 'Google Search' and "i'm feeling lucky' buttons which is absolutely unnecessary with the google Instant experience.

here is my post http://pebam.info/2010/09/15/google-instant-the-death-of-buttons/

Kindly have a look.

Thanks

Re: [IxDA] Direct to Code Wireframing



3. I have worked in shops in which designers threw Photoshop files, JPGs, or something similar over the wall to developers.  Because of the differences in emphases and priorities between interaction designers and developers, the results were generally disastrous.  Of course, this is the extreme end of the spectrum, but hopefully, you get the point.
