comment Is it good practice to only accept numeric keystrokes in number-only fields?
The most sensible answer to date. Too much validation kills validation.

comment Crowdfunded feature request system - would it make users hate me?
Moreover, making the paid features accessible to everyone for free would make the users hate you less.

comment Crowdfunded feature request system - would it make users hate me?
@ Alan — Your answer is interesting, but I don't like the egoist part about reserving the features for the people who paid for them. I would be more inclined to pay for a feature if the feature would then be accessible to everyone. This would make my paying a donation more than a buy. Like when you donate to Wikipedia. I am OK to donate money to a charity who gives food to the poor little starving children of Nord-Pas-de-Calais. I don't donate money to a “charity” who sells food.

comment Can higher speeds harm the user experience?
If the Save action lacks feedback, deliberately making it slower is not a solution to the lack of feedback. We can give such feedback by greying the Save button after saving. The Mac has the dot in the red light disappearing, and the icon getting brighter.

comment Language of language names in the language selector?
Bill. You did not get it. Flags are for countries, not for languages. This is simple. It has been discussed a lot in ux.stackexchange.com.

Bad advice. You are too tolerant. If I were you, I would call the manufacturer of the product and say : “You forgot the instructions for me. I am in Canada. I see some flags, but mine isn't there.”

comment Do touch screens have a harmful psychological effect on people?
@John — That would not prove anything. There many products having negative psych effects and being sold successfully. Telephones, computers, drugs, alcohol…

@DA01 — Certainly not. The original message is a long and detailed question asking for research, concluding by one sentence of opinion.

@Jon — In a way, yes. Especially when your finger is big and the icon is small.

@Iconoclast — What the browser sends is not so meaningless. By default, the browser usually sends the primary language of the OS. Safari does that. Firefox is particular, coming in different flavours, and he sends the language of its version. I mean : when you download Firefox you choose the Firefox in french, for instance ; then by default Firefox sends french.
