Comment I get dizzy from smooth scrolling (Score 1) 135

I'm one of the rare individuals who gets dizzy from smooth scrolling. If I watch other people's screens (mobile or desktop) while they're scrolling, it becomes unbearable within seconds. There's no way I'll be able to use VR.

Bring back jump scrolling! It's so much faster & easier on the eyes.

Comment Tears do not necessarily mean emotion (Score 2, Informative) 10

This is poor science reporting. Dogs' eyes may water when their owners approach, but any conclusions about emotion are just guesses by the experimenters. Physical signals (watery eyes, rapid heartbeat, or whatever) do not have inherent psychological meaning.

My eyes water when it's windy outside, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about the weather.

Comment Amateurs (Score 4, Insightful) 83

In a study like this, you should never ask questions like 'do you feel sick?' or 'are your eyes starting to hurt?' These sorts of leading questions prime the participants to experience these symptoms when they otherwise might not. A more valid and neutral question to ask is, "How do you feel?" Experts should know better.
