Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox for September 12 is now online at:
  > http://www.useit.com/alertbox/usability_sessions.html
	
Summary:
Up to 40% of precious testing time is wasted while users engage in
nonessential activities. Far better to focus on watching users perform
tasks with the target interface design.
