What gems. Reading transcripts of conversations always gives me such a better idea of what a person is all about, and these are no exception (especially with people as opinionated as Jakob Nielsen and Don Norman).
And the pairings are great: Don Norman and Janice Rohn goe back and forth about the overall importance of usability. Don correctly asserts that usability isn’t everything and that to have lots of usability testers and a great usability center is missing the point. Clement and Jakob have a similar discussion, although it’s a bit more focused on what usability can and cannot test. Bill Buxton and Clifford Nass are the odd coupling, but both have interesting things to say.
