comment “We use cookies” notice on websites
@JohnGB, Although silly, this is probably the only way to increase people's awareness to cookies, so they can become paranoid and shut them from their browser. Otherwise, 90% of web surfers remain in their ignorance, and they can't make a sound and rational choice (as if...).

comment Best date formatting for post times on forums as far as UX is concerned?
I would go with the famous rule of thumb "Don't make me think!" (Krug). When there is no "ago", the inference the user must make, albeit trivial, is an unnecessary mental load.

comment What do you call websites that make heavy use of vertical scrolling?
This pattern was extended to the point of infinite scrolling (e.g. Google Images).

I had no idea this was the case. Mysterious are the ways of the command console...

Fascinating! I can see how one can implement the organizational structure, but I wonder how they cultivate such a design worshiping culture.

I admit I don't fully understand your needs. Perhaps you might find more help to your specific problem in feedback sites like www.conceptfeedback.com. I'm afraid your question is too specific for this Q&A site.

comment iphone side navigation vs. tab bar navigation
@roostermaster, from what you described in the question, it seems that you might be better off with the tab bar. You have only a limited set of 3 items, so you don't benefit much from the side menu. Nevertheless, you would pay the downsides of the side menu, like low discoverability, increased complexity and longer time to learn. If you don't need it, spare the fuss. The "trendy" look is not worth it.

comment Modal views vs popovers in iPad
Just to make it straight: You have options>items>details, right? You can show the list of items in the side menu. When an item is chosen, the details show on the right pane. The menu can be navigated, so you can switch between options. Think of the mail app, so instead of folders>messages>content, in your case you have options>items>details.

Regarding the placing of the buttons, I didn't understand you. What button displays the left pane? Can you elaborate?

comment Modal views vs popovers in iPad
First, it seems there's enough to fill a whole page, if you have a title, and a picture and a list of details (as seen on your mock-up). You can also pay more respect to the picture by making it bigger.

comment Do American users also confuse the day and the month in dates like 01/02/2013
When it comes to XKCD, I don't know if that's something that disturbs the general public, or maybe just the computer geeks, who can't stand the fact dates cannot be sorted alpha-numerically

comment How to load data into a table based on the selection in a tree?
Do users need to review the table during their selection of items? Have you considered to have the table disabled (or even better, hidden) before the user has made up her mind as to what items she wants to work on?

comment Better method of displaying recipes
Perhaps you want to narrow down your question. If you just ask "What is best" you might get a variety of opinions.

comment Do American users also confuse the day and the month in dates like 01/02/2013
YYYY-MM-DD is the format recommended by ISO 8601 and a XKCD 1179 (see other answers and comments). It's a possible solution, alright, but not the friendliest one.

comment Why does the email subject appear before the body when composing an email?
I think this is a result of a particular thinking style. In contrast, if I need to first summarize my message to a one liner, it helps me focus my message and better understand what I want to convey. The result - more concise and better understood messages.

comment Should I clear out placeholder text onfocus or ontype?
Also note the placeholder text like this is usually written in italic and gray font, to indicate it's less "substantial" than "real" text.
