Using learned behaviors to set system defaults

Is their any research, blogs, ideas, books etc on the application
learning the behavior of the user and setting system defaults
accordingly?

I was in a discussion yesterday where our application is hitting out of
memory errors because we set no limits on the amount of data that can be
opened in a spreadsheet like window. We just try to load it all up and
in most cases since users never load that much data it is fine. This bug
was found in house by our teams going to the extreme.

Re: Role of IxD in Open Source

Here is a quote from last months SourceForge project of the month:
(Compiere ERP/CRM)

http://sourceforge.net/potm/potm-2004-02.php
"In today's environment, the actual code development is just a minor
part for business applications like Compiere. The major task is
functional analysis so that the application fulfills the requirements
of many industries and legislations. The driving force in Compiere are
not young hackers but gray-haired ERP veterans.

I've started research style guides but thought I'd ping the expertise of this group as well. So here are a few questions...

Hello,

There is an article by on destination CRM[1] that mentions a Three to One
ratio for the cost/benefit of a proposal generating tool. I am wondering if

it")?

Usability on "The Fold"

Hi everyone,

I'm doing research on the new "fold" for my company website. The
latest article from Jakob Nielsen looks at Scrolling and Scrollbars
<http://www.cre8asiteforums.com/redirect/jump.php?url=lmth.11705002%2Fxo
btrela%2Fmoc.tiesu%2F%2F%3Aptth> , and appears to make some good points
about how poorly designed scrollbars can frustrate uses, create
accessibility challenges, and cause people to miss information.

On the topic of twitter - Why?

A few interesting thoughts here.
First off: (http://twitter.com/daveixd)

What is interesting is that almost everyone has looked at this question from
the Poster's point of view and not the reader's. Very interesting. I LOVE
reading my twitter follower's feed.

SharePoint vs. ??

Hi, 

I'm currently doing an audit of 3rd party tools available that have similar functionality to SharePoint i.e. secure login, calendar integration, contact lists, document libraries, version control, tasks/issues lists, etc... Does anyone have any 3rd party tools they can recommend? If so, can you give me a brief description of why you like the tool? Is it intuitive, can it integrate into the other programs you already use, is it robust yet simple?
