    yeah…although flash sites are quite known and looks cool, it takes ages before you open a page and that depends on the connection.

    Actually Flash is just like Javascript , in the end it is a good technology , but it depends on how we are use it

    If Mr. Nielsen would be the guru of product design, all vacuum cleaners would look the same…

    Maby the top10 above is right, but I do not agree with Mr. Nielsen in many cases. His understanding of usability is able to destroy originality.
