Putting a Bad Interface on Things

“But here’s the dirty little secret that may go farther in explaining why usability stinks: Most developers and designers don’t give a rat’s ass about it.

And most companies never even bother to test their sites or applications for usability.” Fredric PaulPutting a Bad Interface on ThingsTechweb)
