Open Office V's MS Office

I have repeatedly tried to use OpenOffice in the past as a replacement
for MS Office, and each time it has come up incredibly short. For
VERY basic document editing, it is fine, but it can't really handle
advanced layouts very well, and it doesn't have most of the keyboard
shortcuts for formatting that you really need to be efficient when
writing large documents (at least that I've been able to find).

Calc vs. Excel isn't even a comparison. Calc is like using a
spreadsheet program from 15 years ago.

iPhone Design Metrics

Hi All,

I have been digging in on a big iPhone application project for the
past couple of months and having a blast. During this time, the
company I work for has also been working hard to develop a set of
metrics to help measure the value of UX within the organization. Last
week I was asked to contribute by researching / proposing a set of UX
metrics specific to the iPhone.

I have spent some time digging around various posts, threads and
articles this past week and there are seems to be a vast number of
approaches and opinions to UX metrics in general.

Expectations research

Pre-emptive apologies for the cross post (I wish I new how big the
common set was).

I'm in the planning stage of a piece of customer expectations research
for an important government service (passports provision). The client
is well aware that both their information site
(https://passports.gov.au) and the existing online application process
is pretty ordinary and they are highly motivated to get it right.

This chunk of the research is about public expectations.
