    Four Lifelong Shopping Mind-Sets

    (contributed by Pat)

    Over on Greenbook, the folks from AMP Agency write Unraveling Her Shopping DNA: Four Lifelong Shopping Mind-Sets about their research into women and shopping behaviour which...

    ...uncovered four distinct and separate shopping mind-sets that stay with a woman throughout the entire course of her life. In fact, despite whatever life throws at these women, their approach to shopping does not change.

    Touch Gesture Reference Guide

    (contributed by Manuel)

    Luke Wroblewski has written this "unique set of resources for software designers and developers working on touch-based user interfaces":

    The guide contains:

    1. an overview of the core gestures used for most touch commands
    2. how to utilize these gestures to support major user actions
    3. visual representations of each gesture to use in design documentation and deliverables
    4. an outline of how popular software platforms support core touch gestures

    Just spotted a link to this website on Twitter (thanks @janepyle). Other than to progress beyond the instructions on the first screen (and the startburst interrupt poll) there is no clicking involved, only almost gestural movements of the mouse.
