Spiegel has published a few examples of funny jokes that are hiding in programs and sites that we are using everyday without knowing it. I have quickly summarised the findings in a few lines:
These hidden gags are quite funny. Do you know of any other ones?
The Article 29 Data Protection Working Party, an independent council of the European Commission, has decided that Search Engines like Google and Yahoo can no longer safe user-specific information for 18 months but need to delete or make user data anonymous after only six months. The Search Engines would need to revise their datamining procedures drastically to comply with such a law in case the European Commission follows the advice of the council and passes such Act.
… and Yahoo! knows how to deal with it. Indeed, their developer website provides a great list of Design Patterns, describing how they deal with common user interface needs and problems.
The Yahoo! UI Team also has a great blog.
Hopefully, LetsBuyIt will rely on such patterns to provide you with one of the most pleasant shopping experience.
