There is a good news for people affected with RSI and back-pain due to extended hours of sitting. Look out for the StepUI from Microsoft Research demonstrated at the TechFest event at Redmond. It is a foot-powered UI where the users can read email, browse photos etc. with their feet.
The dance pad on which the users can perform these commands sound a little strange. But apparently, the StepUI can be used with a Bluetooth device that can be attached to an anklet or shoe. That is good.
Very soon, we can surf the Net by dancing 5-6-7-8 :-)

Today I wanted to give a feedback to the Google team to add a NEXT and PREVIOUS button on top of the the Google Search Results Page. I have often found the need of this toolbar when we scroll up and down the Results page looking for a best fitting document.
I searched for almost half an hour for a feedback page where I can give this suggestion. One obvious link that I found is the "Dissatisfied? Help us improve" link in Results page. But this page is specific to suggest improvements in the search results given by the search engine. I could not find a generic feedback page where I can post my suggestion which is a generic usability suggestion. I searched almost the entire Google Site and stopped the exrecise when I finally hit the "Are we Hiring" page.
We normally "Google" to find info on the Web. But I could not get this simple info from Google site.
Should Google think about a site revamp?
