I'm not a fan of the design of large-scale consumer sites such as Google,
Yahoo, MSN, etc. But one thing I'm jealous about is their ability to test
actual designs on actual users, in very short intervals, in huge volumes,
often in total anonymity.

Design is doing for a dime what anyone can do for a dollar.
