human facators

Here's a humorous (but true, unfortunately) example of bad human factors design... I was taking a call on my Treo 600 in a public area of my workplace. The person on the other end of the conversation started saying something private that I wanted to make sure no one overheard so I pressed the phone harder to my ear to block out the sound. That caused my cheek to press against the Treo's screen at the exact place where the "Speakerphone" on-screen button is located, with results about what you'd expect.

Yeah, that was it, but I couldn't because my wife would have heard. :)
