The main point of Fitz Law was that the bigger and closer the item is to the edge of the screen, the better. The user can get to the object faster and a bigger target means it is easier for people to click on the item. I know my parents still have trouble clicking on the icons to make the internet run at home, so a bigger icon would make things a lot better for people. I think that Apple's Dock in Mac OS X works somewhat with this principle. The Dock can be attached to the side (top, bottom, left, right) and in some cases you can make the icons on the Dock bigger when you put your mouse near it. I think I turned off the setting for that though... :(
