comment Is Chrome's ToS usage statistics opt-in a dark pattern?
For clarification, I believe the posters concern here is the design that makes it appear as though you are accepting the terms of usage. It looks similar to a checkbox that would be in that location normally to accept the terms, however in this case, you can leave it unchecked and still accept terms

comment What to call “Cancel” when “Cancel” is already the default action?
Skype designers: Lets also add in the ability to "Do not ask me again" so if you check this box, then pick the wrong answer from misunderstanding, the frustration is only worse!

comment How do I best describe a “confirm a download” in a dialog box?
if you stay with the same, make sure to change to "By confirming your download" - although possibly rephrased to change the verb from confirming to verify, or something similar?

comment Is there a nice way to deal with geo-restricted access?
in theory, yes, in reality, if my company were to get in legal ramifications due to content I provide to specific users, then you better believe I won't be providing it.

comment All my users are from Afghanistan or how to get users to correctly fill out a form
@LieRyan I would actually disagree - most sites do that stuff, but hide it in a privacy policy or the like, whereas a location based on IP used for a customer visible component is immediately visible by a user. The users that will have problems with it are the same users that will not be bothered (or won't be PC-literate enough) to read the full privacy policy etc. Ultimately it depends on the users your site is tailored to though.

as stated above, data mining location via IP can cause some users to feel that you have taken information you shouldn't have - people are paranoid about any personal information (even as vague as country) being used without being expressly given (despite the fact that google does it every day, all day)

I actually dislike this approach as a user (2nd option) - I could see where some users would feel that you are getting data that is not given to you and who knows what else data you might be getting from them etc - some people are paranoid like that...

comment Technical Word for “time spent on website”?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_content seems more of a fit for things that make users return - Id say stickiness is a valid term, but its really vague if you ask me.

comment What are the costs of forcing a switch between mouse and keyboard?
as a fun bit of added info - the left side of the keyboard can type long and tough words (ex. stewardesses, reverberated, and desegregated) - however using only the right side of the keyboard, the longest word you can type is Lollipop.

comment Better to Auto-change skins or allow selection?
I was thinking reskinning could be a novel way to keep the site feeling up-to-date, as even people who prefer a certain "team" are still ok with the others 99.9% of the time (and the biased .1% are users we really don't want anyways)
