How big is the cutoff for screen compatibility Resolution is the wrong measure unless your application is guaranteed to run in full-screen mode. |

How to convince a user to fill out a survey @Yallow, so the workflow supports doing the survey before the reckoning of the final bill? That sounds like your best bet, then; it's hard to argue with cold, hard cash. :-) |

How to convince a user to fill out a survey Coupons are useful if you expect repeat business. Do you? There's a spectrum there; I sure hope a coupon from the guy who replaced my furnace would be unhelpful, while a coupon from the restaurant I visit once a week would be. What's your customer profile like in that regard? |

Why should we ask the password twice during registration? Why the downvote? |

Heuristics to choose most appropriate chart for given data What pie charts are best at is showing proportions, e.g. % votes for each candidate, breakdown of a group by age range, etc. It sounds like you're showing independent values. Is that correct? |

Chart drill-down affordance? I presume you don't need to support phones/tablets, which don't have mice and hover. |

Chart drill-down affordance? I don't have any research to back this up, but I wonder if double-click is the most intuitive gesture -- users are already used to double-clicking on a directory in a file browser to "drill down" on its contents. Another approach I've seen (works better in some visualizations than others) is the clickable "+" to expand. |

How to transition from Technical Writing to Usability/User Experience and pick up the necessary skills to build an entry level portfolio? Perhaps a small, flexible company where everybody is too busy -- you'll get more opportunities to show what you've got in a place like that. (Worked for me, anyway.) |

Which placement of list of ingredients is most convenient for the cook? I'm also quite fond of the "recipe card" format (sample ) used by Cooking for Engineers. |

Is it ok to style a label as a link to “trick” users into hover it? @zzzzBov, Ben -- thanks. Anyway, AndroidHustle, the point was that you can provide helpful on-hover text for data too, not just tools. |
