Infragistics Quince, a website with a stunning interface (built with Silverlight), is presenting user experience design patterns in a well-categorized format.
There is a wide list of patterns that vary from breadcumbs to alternating row colors and dashboards to forms.
Patterns can be browsed by:
user tasks

wireframe
Even if the content is not what you are looking for, the usability of the website offers a quality UX inspiration.
Pretty Loaded is a website, created by Big Spaceship (a creative agency with amazing Flash works), which is a new source of inspiration to Flash developers.
It simply presents beautiful Flash preloaders as a slideshow.
It displays the company who created it, the client & the year it is done.
You can filter the preloaders by years & nothing much to do rather than just watching 
.
P.S. Thanks to Dave for the suggestion.

As the popularity of Android rises and more applications are being built for the platform every day, the number of development-related questions increase as well.
Android Patterns is a website which aims to bring a solution to the design-related questions by sharing widely-accepted answers (patterns) for them.
The patterns are demonstrated in a wireframe and provided with descriptions of when and when not to use them, the pros/cons and screenshot examples.
There are main categories like "Dealing With Data" or "Navigation" and many sub-categories (questions under each).
P.S. If you have patterns that you want to share with others, it is possible to submit them as well.
Desktopography is a website which shares a collection of impressive wallpapers to beautify desktops.
They are created by designers invited by the website and it can be clearly seen that "a serious effort is spent on each of them".
Wallpapers are published since 2005 and items are categorized as years.
They are provided in multiple sizes and besides using them, Desktopography is a good source of design inspiration.
Personally, I'm not a wallpaper fan and my desktop has only a black background, but now, considering to give wallpapers another chance : ).
A smart and good-looking logo is a must for every company but, probably, a design company needs something better than that.
If you were a coffee shop or a restaurant, it is pretty easy to guess "the ingredients of the logo". For a web & design studio, what is the shape of creativity?
