Nielsen talks about eye tracking studies and appears to make the argument that the menu should be on the left because of the way we (westerners) read.
So what about languages like Arabic and Hebrew? As I understand, these are right to left written languages. Would his study find people tracking on the right?

What percent do you have to keep on hand per user in order to prevent maxing out the storage capacity? Or do you just let it max out and then add more storage?
I disagree. Leisure time for the masses is a recent development. If one observes modern small farmers and seasonal agricultural laborers, reads history on peasants, pre and industrial laborers then one should take away the observation that these people work and worked all day long most if not all their lives. Even for hunter gatherers, they spend most of their time half-starved scratching for food.
