How to make an interface look touchable? I've seen people around and about assuming touch screen more and more recently. You get those kiosks with a screen and a keyboard and sometimes a trackball at train stations and the like, I see a lot of people poking the non-touchscreen displays. Maybe we're learning to assume touch is OK? |

Why avoid the word “please” in error messages? I'm not anti-MS at all, don't have emotional attachments to OS's like many do. I don't know WHY MS would care I'm merely wondering whether they're doing it for the sake of THAT UI that you're wording, or if they're doing it to try and solve the bigger problem of the word 'Please' becoming a cliché - all within the scope of "on a computer" - I'm not suggesting MS should be the custodian of the English Language's usage. |

Why avoid the word “please” in error messages? Interesting - do you think this might be MS's way of being a grammar nazi? Are they doing this for "The greater good" so that we all learn to use please properly or are they genuinely doing it with UX in mind? |

What do you call that interfacing zone? Oh I see, you mean the amount of active area differs between a fingerprint, a stylus end and a cursor point? |

What do you call that interfacing zone? Are you looking for a name that explains that the interface will differ with different input devices? |

Should a website UI designer know Javascript/JQuery as well as HTML & CSS? Possibly off-topic, unsure where to re-distribute to within SE so will leave to mods |

Wireframes first or after rough visual design sketches? I like to be, where possible, but I actually got in to UX from being a UI designer so on some projects I'm both. It means that as a UX person I can't blame the UI person and vice versa! Maybe I wouldn't use the word 'boss' as I put UX and visual on the same level, but yeah when I'm UX only their commands do come from me! |

Should the “reset” option be a button or a link in crm? Added clarity (I hope) |

Does any body have some statistics about the usage of scrollbar buttons(up and down) in a web page? Sorry, didn't expect you to go looking. Link is really useful, thanks for posting. +1 |
