comment How to inform user that he can use mouse wheel to interact with an object?
That's complicated, one does not simply change the cursor in a browser :)

The more I think about it the more I agree with you. People will understand the zooming and less is sometimes more.

Where would you put it and how would it look like? Be more specific so that I can give you some credit.

comment Why do most public toilet doors open inwards?
From your answer it seems to me that the bacteria contamination on the door handle (especially E-coli) is of greater danger for the user than the possibility of being hit by the door opening to any side (especially if the door is transparent and doe's not lead to large public area directly) or the possibility of being struck inside the restroom where the door is blocked from outside. my conclusion is that the answer to my question is that the pull-handle-to-leave-the-restroom design is pure madness.

as a physicist I doubt the way the door opens has any effect on the direction of the air flow

Hi guys, whichever of you improve your answer to reference the Nielsen's original research (Ten Usability Heuristics) will get the correct answer from me. Thanks for your help.

Could you please also explain what you mean by emergency and occupant laying on the floor?

comment Why do most public toilet doors open inwards?
Sorry I don't see the difference between the danger of being hit on eitherside of the door. Moreover the door on my pic has transparent areas and leads to small dedicated corridor. From this it looks to me that the danger of infe tions is much higher than potential danger of being hit more often on certain side.

I have updated the position of the buttons on the speaker. It looks to me it does not match the keyboard example, what do you think?

No problem, I think Nielsen's categories can be extrapolated to any field.

comment How to categorize usability/ux problems?
At the end I will write a usability study about a computer-connected sound system. I can already see it's many errors and I would like to categorise them nicely. The Nielsen's categorisation makes sense, I was just wondering if there is any industry standard.

comment What is the definition of usability/ux problem?
I assume one can take a definition of usability and by negating it define the usability problem. PS: What a horrible website :D.
