More oxymoronic web design
Hot on the heels of the recent post about the mixed signals sent by the SBC Communications website comes this goodie:
I submit for your consideration that a website designed for the "widest possible access" would require none of the things this one says it requires. But, maybe that's just me.
The offending site? None other than U2.com Yes, I know. The Gazette will likely be dropped from what few blogrolls it appears on for the implied slam against The World's Greatest Band. But, I don't make the rules; I simply point out the transgressions thereof. At least I didn't flag the site for the Usability Hall of Shame. As band sites go, it's pretty decent along those lines. The designer just needs to pay a bit more attention to some home page details.
At least it didn't call for a "secure browser like Internet Explorer."
Well, I think so, but it's amazing how many websites don't seem to understand that.

Isn't "secure browser" and "IE" oxymoronic?
