To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
In this second installment of lens recommendations for the Nikon D810, we've been analyzing the best performing models for landscape and wildlife photography. Admittedly when it comes to fast-paced photography there are better choices in Nikon's range but there's always a case for high-resolution imagery but the Nikon D810 also serves to highlight the best performing models, and particularly in the longer focal lengths where it's more common (and often more practical) to use cameras with lower pixel densities. |
Aimed at professional studio and landscape photographers, the full-frame 36-Mpix D800E with its modified AA filter effectively increasing resolution over the standard D800 model is the closest 35mm full-frame camera yet to rival larger formats in rendering fine detail. If you're undecided over which of the two models to choose, we've analyzed the image quality of the Nikon D800E with over 100 different lenses to discover how well this groundbreaking camera performs. |
Sigma's move away from the value-end of the market has resulted in some very high-quality yet sensitively priced lenses such as the full-frame 35mm f1.4 HSM A and this lens, the APS-C format 18-35mm f1.8 DC HSM. While we've previously reviewed the Canon mount version, Sigma has just released the lens in Nikon mount and we were curious to see if the performance could be repeated. Read on to find out. |
Introduced in 2007 alongside the AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED and Nikon's first full-frame DSLR – the 12-megapixel Nikon D3 – this lens was a first of its kind and set new standards for image quality for ultra-wide angle lenses. How does this lens perform on demanding high-resolution bodies, such as the 36-MPix Nikon D800? DxOMark has the answer. |
Very wide-angle lenses allow photographers to produce an image composed of a large number of objects and to frame very large subjects (such as buildings) at close proximity, and to photograph objects on different geometrical planes that can be very far apart. Such lenses also accentuate perspective, with the most noticeable result being the distortion of straight lines. |

Giveaway: Inside Apple: New book aims to expose old secrets
Inside Apple is a new book from Adam Lashinsky that aims to reveal some of the secrets behind the success of America's premiere consumer electronics company -- Apple. Lashinsky wasn't given the access that Walter Issacson was given for the Steve Jobs biography, but he did lots of interviews and paints a compelling portrait of one of the most secret companies in recent history. How much of the Apple magic he ultimate manages to expose is anyone's guess, but for Apple enthusiasts and business students alike, it certainly looks like a must read.
Check out the full description -- and giveaway! -- after the break, and pre-order now to avoid the virtual rush. (We'll also be discussing this in the iMore book club, so head on over!)
- $12.99 - iBooks link
- $12.99 and up - Amazon link
INSIDE APPLE reveals the secret systems, tactics and leadership strategies that allowed Steve Jobs and his company to churn out hit after hit and inspire a cult-like following for its products.
If Apple is Silicon Valley's answer to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, then author Adam Lashinsky provides readers with a golden ticket to step inside. In this primer on leadership and innovation, the author will introduce readers to concepts like the "DRI" (Apple's practice of assigning a Directly Responsible Individual to every task) and the Top 100 (an annual ritual in which 100 up-and-coming executives are tapped a la Skull & Bones for a secret retreat with company founder Steve Jobs).
Based on numerous interviews, the book offers exclusive new information about how Apple innovates, deals with its suppliers and is handling the transition into the Post Jobs Era. Lashinsky, a Senior Editor at Large for Fortune, knows the subject cold: In a 2008 cover story for the magazine entitled The Genius Behind Steve: Could Operations Whiz Tim Cook Run The Company Someday he predicted that Tim Cook, then an unknown, would eventually succeed Steve Jobs as CEO.
While Inside Apple is ostensibly a deep dive into one, unique company (and its ecosystem of suppliers, investors, employees and competitors), the lessons about Jobs, leadership, product design and marketing are universal. They should appeal to anyone hoping to bring some of that Apple magic to their own company, career, or creative endeavor.
The Giveaway
Leave a comment below telling us what secret you'd most like to learn about Apple and you're automatically entered to win one of three (3) copies of Inside Apple, courtesy of your friends here at iMore! (Must have a U.S Apple Store account to redeem -- Apple's rule, not ours!). Contests starts now and ends Sunday, January 29 at midnight PST.

Giveaway: Inside Apple: New book aims to expose old secrets
Id like to how their recreational time is spent toghether. A good company develops chemistry...how do they do that...
I'd like to know everything that is Apple. The creation and the brain. This book is something I definitely want to read.
I'd like to know how many different versions of a product Apple creates before deciding on the final model.
I would like to know how Apple's leadership framework operates. Every one I know that works in Cupertino LOVES working there. Essentially I want to know their secret on effective leadership.
I want to know how far in the future the iphone "feature" pipeline is mapped out and how the complex product design and supplier capacity that goes into deciding when a feature is available. Just how do they get me to buy a new phone every year ... having just enough features to "need to buy it" yet not so much that they sacrifice next year's sales.
I'd love to hear any new details on what goes on the design studio at Apple beyond what's in the Isaacson book.
Im interested to learn more about the design process - what drives design decisions and how designers work with engineers to make the final product.
I'd love to see all of the prototypes over the years that Steve Jobs gave the emperor's thumbs down to.
Many questions that I hope get answered. Apple and specially Steve Jobs real reactions to IPhone 4 left at a bar scandal. How many design alternatives to each product do they manage. Again we don't know how deep inside this book goes to but it would be a really interesting reading for anyone.
I was thinking pretty much the same thing as Ray. I am curious as to what products ended up getting the axe and why.
I'm interested in the development of the Newton, and why it was killed rather than improved since small handhelds did succeed (Palm) and what was going on behind the scenes as they came up with the concepts for the Touch and iPhone - like why they stayed out of the market till they knew they had a winner.
I would really like to learn more about Steve Jobs' minimalist lifestyle and how that impacted Apple products.
To be honest, Apple is pretty much my favourite company, its tactics, business model, train of thought and design elements all fall in line with my beliefs of what a proper company should strive to achieve in its existence. Just my honest opinion.
I would like to win a copy of such a insightful title, not for any one particular "secret" that I am hoping will shockingly be revealed in the book, but rather for it's new perspective into the workings of one of the greatest companies of our time.
P.S - I do have a 100% functional U.S App Store account.
Are Apple actively looking at the JailBreak developer community (I mean the guys writing the cool stuff, not the people who do the actual JBs, and maybe even engaging with them) and considering adding a lot of cool features from there any time soon and extending the APIs etc. so that people who JB for tweaks don't need to bother as they can get them officially.
I'd love to know how many iPhone prototypes apple produced in the last years and why they seleted the ones they selected for production.
I'd love to learn about how they decide whether a product will be released and then what happens to the product - Specifically those that are NOT released. Is there a vault with all of those failed ideas that those in the know can play with and try to bring back to life in a new and updated form?
Design tips and tricks, but probably at the top would be the secrets in hiding the information on upcoming products
I would like to know how the passing of the Late Great Steve Jobs, Has truely impacted on the design Ideas of the company. Also would like to know how bad his Passing has affected the Research and Design teams for new products
The secrets of future products and ideas must be a hard task to keep.
Employee loyalty plays a big part on keeping those secrets.
How do you maintain that loyalty
With Apple's history of dishing out misinformation, especially around the launching of a new product, I'd like to know if those lost iPhones were staged.
I love Apple ans it's product line. Then will always be head and shoulders above the competition. This book would be gravy on my mash potatoes.
I'd like to learn about the secrecy inside the entire company and how they were able to keep everything under wraps.
I would like to know how demanding and what toll it takes if any on them. If they are relatively well adjusted as a team what is thei secret?
I'd love a behind-the-scenes look at the security surrounding prototypes, as well as any info on whether or not they actually utilize fake devices to mask what's really being developed. Could be fun stuff!
I would love to know the secret process of how ideas for innovation are gathered by Apple and then revised and then brought to life.
As a long time Apple fan, I'm very intrigued with the rumors about Apple coming out with a television with built-in iTV integration, and hopefully integration with iOS apps and maybe even Siri (although that alone is probably a long shot). And so I'd like to know Apple's secret with this new soon-to-be released technology!
I would like to learn where they keep their $96,000,000,000.00 cash so I can smash and grab 'em! Haha! Kidding aside, I would love to know how they create/test the prototypes for their future products. Thanks iMore!
I want to know how did he get all of us to do more then buy it, but how did he get us to keep wanting more of it making us alone without may I say the whole set. Like we can't just have a iPhone we get the iPod iPad Mac MacBook because it's a must. Or maybe I'm weird

He's the community manager, what do you expect. He probably wrote it while sipping Starbucks and tapping away on his iPad.
Phoronix: Ubuntu Allegedly To Have Its Own X, Wayland Alternative
There's been talk already this morning in the forums, Twitter, and via email to Phoronix that Canonical is allegedly developing its own display server rather than using X.Org/X11 or Wayland...
He's the community manager, what do you expect. He probably wrote it while sipping Starbucks and tapping away on his iPad.
They've been working on Unity/Compiz for years, and all they have to show for is a barely usable software still plagued with major bugs.
These years Ubuntu is taking a lot more than it can chew. Every new project they release is a half-assed last-minute implementation.
Yeah. They are keeping a very bad track record. First they spent 4 years building trust and now they managed to burn it all. It is really sad to see such a large portion of the community to fail this hard. History tells it is hard to recover from stuff like this.
Ubuntu Uninstall Fests anyone?
Michael is probably right in that canonical does not have the manpower to fully develop a display server from scrach, neither would that help them in any meaningful way, since it would be incompatible with everything under the sun. Thus, they will probably fork either wayland or android's DS. Since Ubutu is to be the same OS everywhere, the display server should be supported at the same time by SoCs drivers and desktop GPUs/APUs drivers.
Wayland is currently supported only by intel's mesa driver maybe by the other gallium drivers. Android's DS is already well supported by SoCs drivers and intel's mesa driver, it should also not require much work to be suported by other gallium drivers.
I would imagine that convincing amd and nvidia to port their blobs to android's DS would be much easier than to wayland, since they would also be supporting android at the same time, which is already pretty important for nvidia, and should be for amd, even though amd execs are pretty much only backing windows only right now.
Considering that android's DS server probably lacks many features needed for desktop use, they would have to fork it to be able to include those features. Thus, a new display server.
Obviously, it would require the porting of the toolkits/apps to this new DS, but that might be easier than porting drivers, and wayland also requires that anyway.
Also, on the ubuntu phoneOS annoucement, it was stated that it would be able to use android drivers, AFAIK the only way to accomplish that is by using a DS compatible with android...
Everything I've read up until now has said that Ubuntu want to turn compiz into a wayland compositor. Similar to how KDE plan to make kwin a Wayland compositor, while still also being an X11 WM. So you can either start them under X11 or Wayland.
I would guess, 'not using Wayland' mean not using Weston; and implementing their own, mean their plans for compiz.

The Case Against On-Staff IAs
The Webby Award winners were announced recently, and for the third year in a row the awards included a category for "Best Navigation/Structure," defined as:
The framework of a site, the organization of content, the prioritization of information, and the method in which you move through the site. Sites with good structure and navigation are consistent, intuitive and transparent.
This should be good news for the information architecture (IA) community, but a quick click through the nominees tells a different story. (See the full list of nominees)
It's difficult to determine whether navigation structure has been executed well if you don't know anything about the site's background, personas, and the user goals, but let's assume that it is possible to objectively determine in a broad sense which sites have good navigation. Of the five nominees, Zappos is the only large-scale site included in the list. This is important because while it is very easy to create a great navigation structure for a site that has five pages, the real challenge in our work lies in creating a great navigation structure for a site with thousands of pages and multiple user types. So for starters, with the exception of Zappos, the nominees aren't looking promising.
But the biggest problem with the nominees is a site for a digital agency called Grip Limited. Click on over, take a look at it for two minutes and try to figure out how to navigate the site. This Webby nominee for "Best Navigation/Structure" is a site on which an entire quarter of the homepage real estate is devoted to explaining how to use the navigation. Not only does this seem to be in direct contrast to the Webby Awards' own description of what makes site navigation good (remember the use of the word "transparent"?), but it leaves any IA with a sinking feeling that yet again the world just does not get what IA is all about.
In an effort to understand how the nominations for this category could have gone so wrong, I contacted the Webby Awards. They wouldn't divulge which specific people judge different categories, but they did say that the judges are drawn from the members of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. I reviewed that list of 757 names, which includes a tremendous number of boldfaced names such as David Bowie, Barbara Boxer and Richard Branson (and that's just the B's!). What's missing from the list? Almost anyone with "user experience" in their job title. In a list of 757 digital luminaries in charge of selecting the best UX design on the Web, I found four whose job titles indicated they did something either UX or interaction design related.
So the Webby Awards judges for the best navigation most likely don't include anyone with an IA background, which means our work is not being judged by anyone who really understands what IA is or why good IA looks like. Instead, it is being judged by David Bowie, or someone like David Bowie. And while I like David Bowie as much as the next person, I don't want him judging my IA any more than he wants me to be a judge at the Grammys.
But it wasn't until I tweeted my thoughts about the Webby Awards, and the Grip site in particular, that things got interesting. I was immediately contacted by someone at Grip who informed me that their IA had been involved in the creation of the site (which was not my point, but was still intriguing). This person cited the alternate site navigation, barely visible at the top of the page, as proof that an IA had been involved in the creation of the site. Rather than convincing me to rethink my position on the site's IA, this brought to light a larger, more important issue: the general belief in the industry that if you have an IA on staff you will get good IA. I will go so far as to say that in many cases the opposite appears to be true. If you have an on-staff IA it entitles you only to the belief that you are creating usable sites.
At the IA Summit this year I met many, many people who work as on-staff IAs at content sites, ad agencies, and larger corporations. But the most significant encounter I had was with the head of a large IA team for a well-known site that used to be quite prominent in the industry but has lost ground over the past five years or so to newer, better competitors. This is a site I used to use frequently, but it has missed many opportunities to improve functionality, and as a result I almost never go to it any more. After speaking with the head of the company's IA team, I quickly learned that no one else uses it any more either. All of which is to say: the site was being destroyed by bad IA, and the head of the IA team knew it. I want to make clear here that the site's bad IA most likely has absolutely nothing to do with the skills of the head IA or his team, all of whom were smart, ambitious, and I'm sure quite competent at what they do. Instead, I blame the fact that they were all on the staff of the company.
I have worked as both an on-staff IA at a content site and several agencies, and have also been an external consultant, and I've noticed a huge difference in how the work of on-staff IAs is regarded within an organization as compared to that of external IAs.
- Organizations that have an IA working on staff start to take them for granted.
IA is no longer a specialized thing that highly paid consultants do, but rather something Joe down the hall is working on. The major benefit to having Joe down the hall working on IA is that you can pull Joe into any number of meetings and get his thoughts on UX at any time of day. The downside to pulling Joe into any number of meetings is this allows a team to erroneously believe that they are following user-centered design simply because Joe was in the room when decisions were made (see: Grip site).
- Organizations that have brought in a UX consultant are more likely to listen to that consultant's recommendations.
Organizations that bring in UX consultants have made a significant monetary, psychological, and time commitment towards developing a great user experience for their product. They've invested time and energy to find the best consultant they can afford, they've gotten buy-in from upper management in their organization, and they have made the important realization that they do not have these highly specialized skills within their own organization. All of which means they're more likely to actually listen to their UX consultant.
- On-staff IA teams frequently do not report to people who understand IA.
On-staff UXers are a part of the team. While many people believe this is a benefit to having an on-staff UX team (They know our business! They're in the building!), it's actually a major drawback. When you're "on the team" you are also part of the larger hierarchy of the organization, which means you have to worry about getting approval from your superiors, who may or may not have a deep understanding of IA, and who may or may not understand how their decisions impact user experience.
- Effective IA comes from thinking like a user, not a member of the organization.
Perhaps the biggest problem for on-staff IAs is that they're a part of the company. And when you're a part of the company, you're enmeshed in everything. You start to speak the company's special language, you use acronyms no one else understands, you get involved in the drama of which department hates which other department. But when you're a consultant, you don't know about the behind the scenes drama, language, or divisions, and neither do the product's users. You're able to approach an organization as a complete outsider, and this in turn makes it easier to communicate with other complete outsiders—your users.
Returning to the problem of the Webby Award nominees, there is a direct relationship between the use of on-staff IAs and the lack of Webby judges with any significant UX experience. In order for IAs to raise our profile, to truly come into our own, we need to step outside of organizations, not work from the inside. We need to work as valuable consultants to companies who understand the need for IA but don't include IA as one of their core competencies. We can't let companies pretend we're just another cog in a larger organization, an add-on that companies can hire into their organization and claim to be doing user-centered design. We're not accountants, copywriters, lawyers, or any of the other types of positions that frequently make up a large organization. We're a unique and special entity, and we need to be positioned accordingly.

Great article, Hana, completely agree.
I've seen this in-house IA behaviour before too. It's important for companies to get an objective outside perspective on their products. That said, I've also seen some internal IAs do great stuff and really fight their corner in the name of UX. However, in those cases they tend to be fairly new to the company.
To be honest, this article could have been written about practically any specialist employed by any company in any field and, as such, I have to disagree.
"We're not accountants, copywriters, lawyers, or any of the other types of positions that frequently make up a large organization. We're a unique and special entity, and we need to be positioned accordingly."
This is the kind of crap that depresses me slightly about this industry. I think of it as the "Wizard of Oz" complex - aggrandising your skill into something greater than it really is and expecting some kind of worship for a specialism that's maybe 10 years old.
I wholeheartedly agree that UX/IA is a vital part of any serious website, but it's only part of the team of specialisms that make it all work.
From experience working both internally and as an external consultant, I agree to a certain extent.
It is easier to get more influence as an external consultant because the organisation has a $$ value on what they have paid for, which they don't consider as much with internal resources.
The bigger issue I see though is what value the organisation really places on UX. I've seen companies add 'UX" depts and staff just to say that they do it, but they don't actually believe or trust in the process. In these cases, it's difficult to get true results, and and solutions if any are just band aid fixes to bigger issues.
I guess its the journey of UX maturity within the organisation which needs to be understood, to see where the best use of UX staff would be.
I can imagine a company who is at the beginning of the journey would use an external consultant and would get good benefit from it. But once it has established a UX environment, and embraced it as a culture, then internal UX staff would have much more influence, with the ability to know the ins and outs of the organisation and be able to iterate and continually improve.
But the bottom line is that it needs to be embraced by the organisation if it's to get any real results.
Grip Ltd is a marketing/ad agency. They'd no more listen to an IA (in-house or not) than they would, evidently, to an accessibility developer. Nuff said.
Webby Awards...what a joke.
No truer words have been written about the lack of regard for value that an IA/UX position has internally. I'm currently leaving my position with a large company for this very reason.
If a major benefit of an external IA is that they approach the task with the mind of an outsider, which allows them to think like a user and create an IA users will understand - then David Bowie is a perfect judge for your IA.
I respectfully disagree with each of your 4-points.
Point #1 - Organizations that have an IA working on staff start to take them for granted.
If you work for a company of any size having one "joe down the hall" may not be adequate. And if Joe is being used the way you've outlined, then it's time for Joe to make it clear how the process works effectively.This is the perfect opportunity to work from within to raise the profile as you say.
Point #2 -
Organizations that have brought in a UX consultant are more likely to listen to that consultant's recommendations.
The fact that companies listen to outside consultants bc they invested time and money is exactly why you shouldn't hire from outside. They're listening for all the wrong reasons. You should listen to an IA person because they know your industry and competitors and they're good at what they do. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this go wrong. The company spends a good amount of time and money just catching the consultant up on what they do and how things run. The consultant has no long-term commitment so they're not as motivated to work.The consultant leaves having "completed" the project then the in-house guy (me) fixes it.This sounds like a bitter rant, but it's happened to me too many times.
point #3 - On-staff IA teams frequently do not report to people who understand IA.
Again this is a perfect opportunity to raise awareness within the company. You can't just say, "Oh well, they don't understand" and walk away. Fight the good fight. Evangelize. Start with a small project that goes through the entire UX process and show the results.
point #4 - Effective IA comes from thinking like a user, not a member of the organization.
If you can't separate yourself from the company and see things from the point of the user you shouldn't be in IA/UX.
I think it's more crucial now that UX is becoming accepted to fight from within. It's more challenging to do this for sure, but that doesn't mean we should give up and retreat to our corners.
It seems there is one thing missing: the fact that having any information architect involved is better than having none.
Not so long ago only large companies considered IA important. Nowadays more and more people know about it and many medium sized companies care enough to dedicate exclusive resources to it.
AI may only be taking baby steps, but it is moving forward.
Although I don't know that it's true of all company cultures, the risks you describe are real and certainly not limited to on-staff IA counsel.
Sometimes, companies that don't WANT to take a user-centered approach will assign a user-centered role simply because they believe they can then sell themselves as user-centered -- no matter how often that person's suggestions are actually adhered to. And after a certain amount of rejection, even the best IA loses his passion to speak up.
At the same time, a company that hangs on every opinion of the "IA expert" is also at risk. Without user research, therecare few guarantees to be made -- most opinions are hypotheses.
It's up to the individual to recognize a culture that's not valuing their role -- and ob the flip side, to be transparent about the limits of his predictive capabilities.
Excellent and thought provoking article and comments. Full disclosure I am one of those full time ux people so I will respectfully disagree with some of your points. Some ok a few have merit. Ok quite a few! But I do believe a lot of what we do is about influencing those around us including our bosses regardless of whether or not they are ux literate. I've found academic research past success and common sense to be great tools in this area. Plus if you are lucky enough to have people around you who trust and respect your work, you're miles ahead of the curve. Thanks again for writing - you sure got us all thinking!
The fact they have an IA on staff doesn't always mean the IA's advice were heeded. What you say has merits but I won't blame the IA entirely in every case.
This is a thought-provoking and interesting read. I would tend to agree with your assessment, but with a caveat. It is possible, at least in small-to-medium-sized organizations, for marginalized UX groups to educate stakeholders as to the extent of what we can do and how our work can have a direct impact on their jobs, and if our work isn't taken seriously, how that will impact the organization negatively. In turn, we build trust and gain more authority. It's a slow and laborious process for sure, but it can be done.
Thanks for writing such a provocative article.
From the last paragraph, which sums your argument up nicely:
"In order for IAs to raise our profile, to truly come into our own, we need to step outside of organizations, not work from the inside."
I might argue the opposite.
I've been working full-time for agencies since 2007. Prior to that, I worked in-house. I was a developer back then with limited UX knowledge, working alongside talented designers, developers, and programmers. During most of my time there, we had no UX person on staff. Not one. (And trust me, our site suffered for it.) And when we hired one it took quite a while for him to get up to speed on our systems, institutional knowledge, and so forth. If he had been just a consultant, he would have had a limited time with us. And our site would have suffered again after his departure.
There's something to be said for the fact that full-time employees have a deep understanding of the product and the challenges surrounding it. They live with it and grow with it. It's not the same with an outside consultant, even if they're hired on a long-term basis. Full-time employees are less likely to be dismissed when budgets shift or become tighter.
Thinking back to that time, I don't know that an outside consultant would have been taken any more or less seriously than our full-time UX.
Thanks again for the article!
@Chris - great comment
I looked through some of the webby award winners when they were announced and my head practically hit the desk in disbelief. I now completely agree with your sentiment that most awards are bogus.
Very interesting read.
I have to say, I've also found these things to be true at some agencies--even digital agencies.
My freelance work tends to be valued pretty highly, and I credit that to the fact that I've worked with a dozen different teams in the last few years. I've absorbed as many methodologies, concepts, lingo, and deliverable styles as I could, and carried them with me to the next agency. And instead of settled interpersonal dynamics where my toes are getting stepped on, I've got a mental list of archetypes that I know how to deal with.
I normally don't say this kind of thing out loud, though, because I don't want to sound like I'm knocking IAs who've gone the full-time route. There are a lot of great ones out there. But being completely independent has definitely given me an edge.
So, the premise of your point is that the Webby's are, like most awards of any kind, largely bogus? Is this really a surprise?
I appreciate you taking the time to present your viewpoints, but I must beg to differ based on the following:
Re on-staff IAs being taken for granted, while I'm sure this might be true for some, the IAs on our team (of which I'm one) are considered to be an integral and valued part of our organization's operation. As a matter-of-fact, over the past several years and being a part of 3 IA teams, this has always been the case.
Re folks being more likely to listen to external consultants, I have found that this is a mixed bag, based upon (usually) politics and the clients' grasp of UX principles. Many bring in IA/UX consultants, pay dearly, and still don't listen.
Re on-staff IA teams not reporting to people that understand IA, again, while your experience may have great influence upon your perspective (no doubt), I have never been in this position (directly), nor have I met anyone that has such a testimony. The one time I did have a non-UX person leading our team, this was due to our former boss taking on a new job and a need to replace him from a business hierarchy perspective. That state was short-lived.
Re thinking like a user and not a member of the organization, I and all of my cohorts over the years have always operated in like manner. The variables never impacted us. We knew we were the voice of the user and we knew that we were required to "marry" user and business goals.
I understand where you're coming from and how your views have been shaped (and am not seeking to discredit you or take away your perspectives by any means), but thought I should chime in on the topic. While people who have my testimonies may very well be in the minority, it should be known that we and our circumstances and scenarios do exist.
Keep writing and keep pressin' on. I look forward to your next article and to further discussions.
Typo in second graf: "inforamtion architecture (IA)" should be "information architecture (IA)"
You make some really good points. However, companies can and do create cultures within their organization where UX can thrive and remain adequately objective. It's true that most the time it's not the case, but I'm fairly certain the exceptions aren't as rare as this article suggests. Keep in mind that I am considering this fact relative to the same problem in any department, whether it's customer service, accounting, or sales. They also need an outside view from time to time to get them back on track.
Having said that this is article complements Daniel Pink's recent article very well. Perhaps you've read it. If not, it can be found here: http://bit.ly/k4R9ff
I think your view is mostly right and I wish that decision makers were more aware of the value of consultants and the problem with in house atrophy. Nice job!

a sexual act between two men, where during the ejaculation after a blowjob the man ejaculates up the others nose and in his eyes. The man then preforms anal sex on the other, Donkey Punches the other man and cums in his anus. The man forces the other man to bend around, licking the cum out of his own anus, usually breaking his spine. The man cuts off the others head and rearanges his facial features on his neck. He cuts of the others penis and puts it in his anus, he then carves the open wound into a vagina. He poses the man with his legs spread in a car and he poops in the car, he leaves the AC on high so that it smells, causing the person who find it to vomit.

Filichia Features: CHILDREN OF EDEN Continues to Grow
Choosing Your High School's Musical: Part 5
The Baker's Wife
Children Of Eden
Book by
John Caird
Music and Lyrics by
Stephen Schwartz
Based on a concept by Charles Lisanby
2 Acts, Book Musical, Rated PG
Paper Mill Playhouse Version (1998)
Based on the story of Genesis, the age-old conflict of parents and children takes the stage in this epic, heartfelt Stephen Schwartz musical.
From musical theatre greats Stephen Schwartz and John Caird comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith... not to mention centuries of unresolved family business! An expansive and ambitious musical, the original production used a cast of sixty.
Adam, Eve, Noah and the "Father" who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that "the hardest part of love... is letting go."
A large cast is needed to take on the story of the Old Testament in this moving, foot-stomping musical.
