What should I use as an alternative to overlays for exposing inline information on a mobile website? I'd stick with accordion-style reveal. It's a mobile device, so you pretty-much have to scroll anyway. |

Are age verification banners effective? Waste of code, waste of time everyone's time. Scrap 'em. I set up a Facebook group about this a while back, but haven't done anything with it for ages. facebook.com/groups/116359251750534 |

What explains the current shift from glossy UIs to matte UIs? Lync, Word and Skype - three of the four examples in your table - are created by the same company (Microsoft). Regardless of whether or not there is a global shift towards a more "flat"/"matte" design, your example is crap! |

Converting two character dates into four character dates +1: I love the idea of showing both options to the user and allowing them to pick the one they want. |

Converting two character dates into four character dates +1: Good point about the future/past date question. It's a database of people and tasks (among other things), so some dates will always be in the past (i.e. birthdays) and some will generally be in the future (i.e. task due date). I expect I could alter the function to include an Expected Date Direction parameter, or something, with the following options: Mostly Future and Mostly Past, then adjust the guessing feature accordingly :) |

What's the terminology for bad practice around emulating browser functionality in your website? Using your principle of least astonishment, would it not be better to design your site in a way that the browser's back buttons work as the user expects them to? |

What's the terminology for bad practice around emulating browser functionality in your website? +1 for consistency. This is the main reason I'm torn between appeasing the user (because I know he's kind-of right, for the reasons you mentioned), and sticking to my own guns because of the reasons given by @MattObee and the "Teach a man to fish" example. However, I intend to argue that it's better to be consistent with 99%* of other websites than to be consistent with a previous version of an old system... * bad science |
