While it's always nice to see issues of usability featured so prominently, the choices are ironic. The solutions are all trivial and most of them (all, I bet) have been around long before the award-winning product existed. In some cases, the award-winning feature is a standard.

So you post an article about "Pogue's 2002 Simple Awards" which is supposed to award people/things that "simplify procedures and keep their technology approachable". Yet the link takes you to a page where you have to fill out a huge form (that takes about five minutes) to look at the New York Times online. I just think it is ironic that these "Simple Awards" are located on a site that is super complicated to get on.
