Just had to do it. Looking forward to the future. Things are in the cloud. So here we are…
I canceled my satellite service of which I have been using since it was Primestar back in the mid 90s. I really liked it.
But now I’m gonna try streaming! I’m streaming using DirecTV Now. And it’s because of the free Apple 4K TV. Man, those things are piling up in my house! But, for real, I’m kind of ready for this…
Now I have to get a 4K television.
I saw a post on TUAW where the author, after reading an interview with one an Apple VP in charge of hardware, laments that Apple deems “cut and paste” a low priority. I think that John Gruber at DaringFireball.net (It’s a daily read, right?) tries to make sense of “cut and paste’s” low priority. He’s right in a way.
I really don’t miss it much. It would be handy, and I can see the need. I just wonder how would you implement such a feature.
Look at what’s available in the two versions of iPhone: the touchscreen, home button, on-off button, mute switch, and volumes. Which of these would you use to implement “copy and paste?” How would you even select the item? Tap-drag? Three finger tapping? Press home button while tapping? Some of these gestures feel awkward. Some of them are uncomfortable. I wonder what Apple will do. And can we live with it for the next 30 years?
