From the hesketh site and possibly written by Steve Champion. A bit early for an article with a festive theme but here in Hsinchu the Christmas lights stay up all year round. A few brief points:

• It's not the number of clicks to complete a task it's the amount of thought that goes into these clicks(but reducing clicks is not a bad metric either)
• Don't produce a diarrhea of wordage ... cut cut cut ... think Miles Davis not John Coltrane
• formal testing is not as important as testing (and iterate) if it means not testing at all

"So how do we create a positive user experience? Remember this mantra: User experience should be useful, usable, and satisfying. As you assess, architect, and measure the real experience of your users, you will craft better user experience…which leads to more value…which leads to increased profitability".

In the words of my daughter, you can read the article if you like.
