I came across this great list of usability rules in a presentation by Denise Stephen called "Enabled by Design meets Scripting Enabled" which was given as part of the Scripting Enabled event organized by Christian Heilmann. Here goes the list:

It has not sunk in yet, despite having made plans for it more than a year now. This would be the longest period I have been away from Singapore since I came here in 2000.

Now, it stands to reason that 10% of my monthly bill equals about $4 of power savings ($50/12) per month. Does that mean my monthly bill is only $40?
I had long been fascinated with all things African. It is the only continent where you hear more about genocides than any actual development. It is quite unfair because there are actually peaceful nations in Africa and a lot of creative development goes on there because of the poor infrastructure of many nations.
I have been reading a lot of Science Fiction/Fantasy books lately (as you might see on my list of books read).
A great video on the decision-making that goes into designing pages of a magazine.
