Standards for power indication, LEDs?

Anyone know of a standard for power indications on equipment?

Specifically, I'm looking for any international standards that discuss
LED color, state, etc. for when a device is:

1) Connected to mains and ON

2) Connected to mains and OFF

3) Connected to mains and POWER SAVING

If there are standard iconography for these things, I'd like to know
about the references as well...

UI walkthrough generator

Hello,

I am working on a document presenting the UI of a software application.

Basically, I'm compiling screenshots of every state the application has. The
way I'm compiling and presenting the information is not the most elegant.
I'm tempted to hack together a web script that generates a mini-website
template allowing users to click through and navigate the UI screens.

My questions: does something like this already exist? How do I properly
document and present the UI of a software application?

Many thanks for any advice,

Taneem Talukdar

Why all game consoles have joystick on the leftside?

I guess it is just based on the left-hand and right-hand users ration across
the world?

Why all game consoles have joystick on the left side?

I was always wondering, why all video game consoles I've seen (XBox,
Nintendo, Gameboy, ...) have a control for the left-right-up-down
navigation on the left side? Navigation requires bigger precision and
speed so because most people are right-handed they have to do it with
a non-dominant (left) hand, which is naturally less precise and
slower.

Ist ist just an occasional solution, which became a standart or there
are some other human factor issues behind it, which I'm not aware of?

regards,

Andrei Sedelnikov

help: abstract user value naming?

I've got a little user experience puzzle, and was wondering if anyone
knows of some successful examples that have already tackled this.

------------
Short(er) version of question:

What do you label, on screen, query parameters that are variables,
but are selected in a context that is extremely literal, and is
selected by an end user who is constructing queries for a group of
people? Example variables are "me," when me will be evaluated at
query runtime as the person running the query.
