More than 2,500 of the 3,250 walk buttons that still exist function essentially as mechanical placebos, city figures show. Any benefit from them is only imagined.Most of the buttons scattered through the city, mainly outside of Manhattan, are relics of the 1970&apos;s, before computers began tightly choreographing traffic signal patterns on major arteries. They were installed at a time when traffic was much lighter, said Michael Primeggia, deputy commissioner of traffic operations for the city&apos;s Transportation Department.Typically, semi-actuated signals were positioned at intersections of a major thoroughfare and a minor street. The major road would have a green light until someone pressed the button or a sensor in the roadway detected a car on the minor street. Then, after 90 seconds or so, the light would change.By the late 1980&apos;s, most of the buttons had been deactivated, their steel exteriors masking the lie within. But city officials say they do not remember ever publishing an obituary, and the white and black signs stayed up, many of them looking as new and official as ever.

  9. http://www.asktog.com/basics/03Performance.htmlA classic example occurred in the 1930s in New York City, where &quot;users&quot; in a large new high-rise office building consistently complained about the wait times at the elevators. Engineers consulted concluded that there was no way to either speed up the elevators or to increase the number or capacity of the elevators. A designer was then called in, and he was able to solve the problem.What the designer understood was that the real problem was not that wait time was too long, but that the wait time was perceived as too long. The designer solved the perception problem by placing floor-to-ceiling mirrors all around the elevator lobbies. People now engaged in looking at themselves and in surreptitiously looking at others, through the bounce off multiple mirrors. Their minds were fully occupied and time flew by.

  11. http://megowan.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/the-secret-objectives-of-queues/Waiting less than expected makes people happier. =&gt; so Disney overestimates the wait timeAnd people are more concerned about the LENGTH of a line than how fast it moves. =&gt; so Disney hides the length of lines by wrapping them around buildings“Disney…overestimates times for rides.”“beating expectations buoys our mood.”“people who wait less than they anticipated leave happier than those who wait longer than expected”“we are more concerned with how long a line is than how fast it’s moving. Given a choice between a slow-moving short line and a fast-moving long one, we will often opt for the former, even if the waits are identical. (This is why Disney hides the lengths of its lines by wrapping them around buildings and using serpentine queues.)

  13. http://www.flickr.com/photos/calamity_hane/4655070224/Customers thought it was impossible for a machine to count change accurately at such a high rate. =&gt; Displayed results at a slower rate. =&gt; Sound of change counting is a recording.The machine is able to calculate the total change deposited almost instantly. Yet, during testing the company learned that consumers did not trust the machines. Customers though it was impossible for a machine to count change accurately at such a high rate.Faced with the issues of trust and preconceived expectations of necessary effort, the company began to rework the user experience.The solution was fairly simple. The machine still counted at the same pace but displayed the results at a significantly slower rate. In fact, the sound of change working the way through the machine is just a recording that is played through a speaker.

  16. “There was still another surprising finding from our study: a strong correlation between perceived download time and whether users successfully completed their tasks on a site.”“when people accomplish what they set out to do on a site, they perceive that site to be fast.”“When users are complaining about the download speed of your site, what are they actually complaining about? Are you better off making the site load faster or ensuring that users complete their tasks?”
