  1. Re:Time-based interfaces on Flirting With Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    I was careful to say 'on the same disk' in my post. I know dragging to another disk will make a copy, and that command-z will not undo it. As someone else pointed out, command-period will halt the copy. If it was a small file and copied quickly, a control click will help you send it to the trash, and the original file is still right where it was to begin with. The undo command works fine for moving stuff from the desktop when you accidentally drop it there in OSX. I thought it was in older versions of the OS as well, but I guess my memory is failing.

    when you drag a file around on a mac, if you accidentally let go on the desktop, or on any directory on the same disk the file is on, it will simply move it. no need to wait for the copy. It is pretty much instant. Also, a quick 'command-z' (undo) will zap the file right back to where it was, also instantly.

    I think he meant to say that you cant install stuff like Office on windows simply by drag and drop like you can on a Mac. I have no idea if this is true or not, I just think that is what he was saying... not that you couldn't install stuff at all!

    My guess is that the iTunes package possibly contains the updated CD burning package for the system.

    Quaker Oats actually started this type of marketing, believe it or not. They would give away things such as pots/pans and other merchandise with proofs of purchase, were the first to put coupons in newspapers, and offer things like money back guarantees. They basically kicked off consumerism as we know it.

    It's amazing what you can learn watching Connections.

    I wouldnt say they shame it. Rather, i would say they are a contemporary equivalent. Radiohead, in my opinion, is as experimental and talented as PF, but in a more modern way.
