Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox for September 27 is now online at:
   http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20040927.html

Summary:
Even prominent websites make elementary errors in the use of basic user
interface controls. The main guidelines are clear, but there are ten other
things you should consider when using checkboxes and radio buttons.

------------

User Experience 2004 conference

   > Las Vegas, October 3-8
   > Amsterdam, November 1-6

   > 33 full-day tutorials


Las Vegas deadline, save $200 by registering online: this Friday, Oct. 1

Amsterdam deadline, save 10% on registration fee: this Thursday, Sept. 30


The Las Vegas conference is close to capacity, so if you live on the east
coast of the United States, you can help your west coast colleagues by
leaving the remaining Las Vegas spots to them and going to Amsterdam
instead. An airline ticket from New York to Amsterdam is only $347.
