Bad Web Sites Can Cause "Mouse Rage"

Posted by kdawson on from the high-blood-pressure dept.

alphadogg writes "Badly designed Web sites may have negative effects on a user's immune, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, a study says. The study of 2,500 users was commissioned by Rackspace Managed Hosting and published by the UK's Social Issues Research Centre. It found that five technology flaws in Web sites may have deleterious effects." How long before the first class action suit in the U.S. over bad Web site design?

    MySpace is more of a hosting service itself. The individual pages do not have to suck.

    hint: I mean, let's take away the corporations' special rights...
    Sure, but that will have a price. As another poster mentioned, corporations also have special needs. Sure, I know that your kind of people want executives to be personally liable for every single employee and for every single machine that the companies operate, and that you want companies to start being punished here and there, for being evil capitalists.

    But it will have a price.

    So I say we should start with your job. And also taking away your computer, as it's the product of a free market that ruined the health of hundreds of clean room workers and it still costs a lot of enviromental damage to China and other countries. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Don't expect to go postal after companies and still enjoy progress. After all, it's very convenient for you to hate companies and "The Man?" and code your open source software using their technological advances.
