What explains the current shift from glossy UIs to matte UIs? @Adnan - not sure what you mean by wondering how we can explain the absence of glossiness in Lync's online indicator. The design philosophy being followed simply says that anything distracting from the information being cleaning displayed in an aesthetically clear way is unneeded. The plain green box is more clear and uniform than a blended off one which by nature blends in more and jumps out less. It's the same reason that an emergency stop button is a big glaring ugly red button that you can't possibly miss, though the amount of standing out can be related to the importance of the info. |

Is it still relevant to include a Sitemap page? finding a particular value. I'd say it is comparable to the automated phone systems that make life easier for 95% of people, but on that 5% that need something that it doesn't cover, 0 should still give you a live person. |

Is it still relevant to include a Sitemap page? I would challenge it is the other way around. A not so tech savy user isn't going to know to look for a site map, where as I jump straight to the site map if the UI is so messed up (err, I mean "modern") that it is impossible to find anything quickly. This is kind of like the concept of an index (in the book sense), simply having a good Table of Contents does not make an index useless. Different ways of organizing information offer different experiences. A site map lets a user that knows what they want find it, while a page layout may be designed to lead a user, but not be helpful for... |

Should I build camera functionality into a photo sharing app or let the user use the device camera app they would already be familiar with? @Stetocina - Personally, I know I always prefer that someone let me use my intent. At some point it might be worth implementing your own intent as well, but I'd leave it setup so that the user can still select which provider to use for the intent. That'll give the best of both worlds. |

Computer login with password only, without username @supercat - I agree it's no worse if the user picks their username, but at that point it is pretty obvious what is happening when the user type "ajhendersonmypassword". If the identifier at the beginning of the password is system generated, it is more difficult to remember and thus will be harder for a user to recall later to recover the account. If it is user generated, then the user may just think it goofy. I suppose it would be possible to have a user chosen username that they never use, a prefix that is system generated and a user password. Still not sure a user would prefer that. |
