I kept it to 15 minutes this time around. One clarification: While talking about the Jakob Nielsen article, I suggest that the study produced no noticeable differences across socioeconomic lines. This is not accurate, as the article actually does not indicate one way or the other. Also, for some unknown reason, I twice pronounce OCLC as oh-see-ell-SEE, whereas I would usually say OH-see-ELL-see. Strange and altogether insignificant, yet curious.
