Quote

If the product is used as a tool, its interface should be as unintelligent as possible. Stupid is predictable; predictable is learnable; learnable is usable.

Wednesday, 21 May 2008 | New, improved comment spam?

If you look at the comments for the two entries immediately preceding this one, the first (or only) comment seems reasonable. But the links for the commenter's name(s) -- well, those are commercial sites, so it's a good bet that they're link spam. Have a look and see if you agree. If they are, how are these comments being generated?

Update I've de-link-ified the commenter names, so they're no longer pointing anywhere.
