What are some alternatives to “hover” on touch-based devices? Here is an example of Samsungs "Air View": youtube.com/watch?v=sZxGQ-vHGKE Your're right, accuracy is essential for this to work. But with digitizers getting more advanced I could imagine that "finger hovering" could be a reasonable pattern for displaying tool-tips or alternative content (e.g. revealing the phone number in an address book entry) in the future. |

How patient are users at wait dialogs? The studies these limits are based on are in fact already 40 years old. However, Nielsen states that the values are still applicable to todays user needs. So we can assume we are dealing with very fundamental human behavior here. I edited the answer and included a revised version of Nielsen's article. |

How patient are users at wait dialogs? I found a more recent blog entry from Jakob Nielsen, where he refers to his study from 1993, stating that the values are still valid. I edited my answer to include the newer article quote. The explanations are also more detailed now. |

Should I alter the size of various icons when displayed on different resolution devices? From a techical (web) standpoint, Smashing Magazine had a nice article on this: coding.smashingmagazine.com/2012/08/20/towards-retina-web |

How patient are users at wait dialogs? UX is all about observation. "Hard data" isn't that significant because auf the diversity of users and domains - that's why individual testing is so important. |

Is Apple's or Google's meaning of the three-horizontal-bar icon more popular? The meaning of a gear-icon is more like having a look into the "guts of the machine", so it fits for a settings menu, where one will manipulate stuff. The Chrome button on the other hand leads to a variety of functions, not just settings (new tab, bookmarks, printing, etc.) so a more general "list" or "menu"-icon makes more sense. |

Clicking twice to edit filename - what are the reasons for this pattern? Sounds pretty reasonable, thanks for the quick answer! |

How can users be prevented from pouring water into the bean compartment of a coffee machine? I like the idea of the beans beeing visible all the time, altough I wouldn't "fake" the bean level. Better make the whole container visible, so even the last few beans can be seen. |
