I was taught that line graphs should only be used for continuously varying data, whereas bars should be used for discrete values. In this instance the time spent per day is a discrete measure (unless maybe you're working a 24-hour day) so bar is "correct". Whether pie or bar depends on whether it's the ratios of the different types or their absolute sizes you want to illustrate; though it's possible to show both in a pie chart by having different sized pies, of course.

Everybody wants to view a graph differently, so instead of picking one, I'd give the user an option to select from several different flavors, no pun intended.

Yes,

Options are available. Always. And they can be counted. And they can be numbered. And the user can choose them by their number. And it shall be good.

Easy pill to swallow, options.

Thank-you Dr. Nefario!

[EDIT]
Oh, and I forgot something. Each interface shall have it's own help tome associated with it's use. And that extensive collection of non-video tutorial pages shall have images upon which one shall be able to hover with one's mouse and receive more information in contextual text message. And clicking upon sub-image locations one shall be directed to pertinent and whole help pages where related images reside and they shall be contextual as well. And there shall be no advertisement. And then the most good shall come in the final help file link where searching might be done in non-indexed suggestive search-in-search returns so that it shall be possible to find that one words meaning so that it shall rule all meanings.

Would need "world knowledge" of your app, and its UI's, to say respond, but best wishes on your project, which I hope you'll publish here.

cheers, Bill

In Germany, whatever electronics good you buy has in general a 2 year guarantee. How is it different from Warranty?

On a side note, If I buy an apple product and it messes up in 2 years, Will apple do a free of charge repair or replace here?

cheers,

2 years?
It'll be obsolete in six months, and you'll have to replace it then or watch it slow to a crawl ... in the name of battery saving, of course.

The guarantee is mandatory in law and can't be circumvented. The warranty is optional and provided by the vendor (or manufacturer). In the real world the vendor will focus on the warranty and claim that is the be-all-end-all as the warranty is usually easier to wriggle out of, however the warranty is in addition to the guarantee, it doesn't replace it.

All the searches I did came up with the opposite way around.

Isn't communicating with your hands called Italian?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Sure you could get your information from random strangers posting on Quora. Personally I would consult the relevant pages on the EU's website, the organisation that creates, maintains and governs these laws, but I'm sure ChunkyLover53's personal opinions are just as valid Smile | :)

Given the current situation, membership of the EU (or not) is not so important. But soon we will be free.

We're already, unequivocally, out. I don't understand people who say we're half-in, half-out. We left at the end of January. We're now in what's jokingly called a "transition" but is nothing of the sort. The word implies a partial status, a phasing in/out, a continuous change; yet during the "transition" period, NOTHING is changing. There are some NEW arrangements in place temporarily, some of which MAY become permanent; that is not a transition, and it's not the same as being "in". You also can't be "transitioning" when the next state is not yet agreed! (We are not yet safe from some new arrangement which may shackle us to the EU of course, but that's an entirely separate matter).
