comment What icon best shows 'select'
Hi Springfox. Sorry, but icon requests / suggestions are off topic for this site I'm afraid. There is no correct answer to such questions, its all just too subjective for a Q&A website. There's more reasoning on this on our FAQ.

comment How would you improve this search results interface?
Hi INUXIxD. I'm afraid asking for feedback on designs isn't really what this site is for as such questions don't provide any benefit to users other than yourself. We need UX questions where you're looking for the correct, or best answer.

comment Is there any good idiom for 'real time' or 'live' data?
I think this is really just an icon request question. The save icon question worked well because it came at the issue from the other direction - "Is this icon still appropriate". It wasn't asking for alternatives but was about the specific icon itself. Your question is really just requesting a suggestion for an icon. Can you clarify what it is you want an answer to provide you with?

revised What should I use as an alternative to overlays for exposing inline information on a mobile website?
Question was a bit of a request for examples. Restructured so it's more of a specific question.

comment Save, Favorite or Star?
Yes, name the action after what the action does. I can imagine a conversation going: "What is the 'star' option? - that's for saving for later", whereas I can't imagine the conversation "What does 'save for later' mean - it means Save it for Later". Some options are just self-explanatory.

comment when is too much playfullness in interface / experience too much?
What do you mean 'to reflect the time of day'? Something like f.lux that adapts the colour of the screen depending on the time of day? Do you have anything specific in mind?

comment Should mobile navigation be aligned to the left or right?
Can you give some more reasoning as to why? It just reads like your subjective opinion. Are you basing this answer on anything in particular? (Observations, research, experience...?)

comment Western vs Asian cultures - Are there any noticable differences in the way users behave on mobile?
Closing as this is just too big a scope for a Q&A site. As per the faq: "Your questions should be reasonably scoped. If you can imagine an entire book that answers your question, you’re asking too much."

comment Should a mobile media app lower volume or pause?
Good point. Also, you don't know what people are doing while listening to music on their device. For example they could be out running and using the music to keep themselves running to a certain rhythm. If you stop/start the music you lose that rhythm.
