comment What tooltip text should I give to controls that move a map?
Imo, tooltips should either appear always appear or never. I have not yet seen any application where the tooltips stop appearig after a while.

Indeed, this is the standard cartographic convention.

comment Explaining “circular reference” to a non-technical end user
That may be cool but gives the impression that the problem is isolated to 1 object, which is exactly not what a circular reference is in reality.

I think this is the most valuavle answer I have seen here. Sometimes a picture tells more than a thousand words.

comment Studies or experience on using faded text to indicate more content?
Could you post an example of such toned text? Not only will this make it a lot more clear what you mean, but it will also give us the opportunity to conduct our own little study about it.

Altough that may be nice, showing an image of the device would not solve the problem in any way.

comment Is 'crazy' good?
This reminds me of a certain app that showed 2 buttons on the screen: Yes and No. Above these buttons a question is asked to the user: "Do you have a small penis?". When the user points the mouse cursor toward the "No" button, the button started moving so you where not able to click it.

Crazy is good. If you have crazy users ;) I'd say thinking out of the box is certainly good, with the downside that it can lead to very bad solutions.

comment Selecting items for different categories in a dropdown
In your question you talk about a drop down box and about a device homepage. Is there something in between those two, like a search results page?

Your "best alternative option" is the only good solution imo.

comment Is it better to 'XOR' or 'shade' text that is highlighted?
Well, the second (XOR) is impossible to read. So that should answer your question. And to give you a lttle background: it exists because it is technically easy to program: it's just a matter of inverting every pixel. The first thing is harder as it requires to keep track of each pixel's original color.
