The frame could have other uses too - the thing's networked, so presumably it could be fed images from elsewhere, such as from a security camera whenever a motion detector saw something moving in its field of view.
Because it's so pleasant to live surrounded by security images reinforcing your own paranoia?
The behaviour he's talking about is to automatically grab the selected text and yank it to it's new location, without any CMD-C nonsense. You just select what you want, then middle click where you want it.
Still doesn't sound very useful to me, too much potential for mistakes. I'd rather select what I want to copy with my left hand. Still, if you want this functionality for some reason, there's probably a way to implement it on OS X. But it doesn't make much sense as a standard configuration for most users.
But this is automagically done in linux. I thought with OSX, I didn't have to config it? Everything "just works". Still - running off to try.
Well, it's a matter of preference. Middle-click paste is not a very 'Mac" way of doing things. It's a very bad idea especially for casual users, children and the elderly. Because it can easily be destructive. Accidentally hit the middle button while you have a block of text or a large graphic selected, and you possibly have a nasty undo situation on your hands.
Apple likes to offer a standard way of doing things, which you can customize if you have different needs. The Mac user interface also encourages the quick use of keyboard shortcuts, so while you may find the keyboard clumsy, for experienced Mac users (especially of Photoshop) it's an automatic action that doesn't slow work down.
For the millionth time: Apple will not sell OS X separately, and OS X will not run on non-Apple hardware! How hard is this for people to understand?!?!?!?!?
They don't have a problem understanding that. The thing is, the average user is not going to want to run an OS that is "hacked" to work. Especially with all the jackbooted thugs and the heuven mayven please don't hurt me Mr. RIAA and DMCA FBI man.
Basically the fact that MacOS X could be hacked is almost totally inconsequential to the computer market. The few people who would be willing to run this as their main platform, would probably never actually buy from Apple in the first place, and usually multi-boot into various versions of Linux and Windows already. So it's not likely to have very much impact at all, on Apple or Linux.
I got a mac recently. I like it quite a bit but it does have some flaws. In fact, there is one flaw that is amazingly annoying -- no middle-click paste.
Huh? Just configure your mouse to give the CMD+V keyboard shortcut when the middle button is pressed.
The people at "Laptop Logic" are not my friends. In fact, I've never even heard of them. I certainly did not sign a friendship authorization form (FAF).
The only time the left is concerened about the truth is when it agrees with their version of reality.
News flash: most humans act like this. It's not specific to "the left" (whatever that is). I mean, just look at the way the government only accepted "facts" about WMD that agreed with their already-made decision to go to war. Even though these "facts" have shown to be distorted and outright false, they keep lying to justify their ideological posittion. Same with the right-wing religious types who want evolution and sex education to be banned, and creationism to be taught in schools, or want to ban stem-cell research.
It amazes me that you seem to believe that the government has any interest in facts, when it doesn't agree with their political, social and corporate agendas.
I think, given the prevailing opinion base of both the LA Times and the Internet, that it is far more likely to encounter trouble from radicals.
There's not often that much of a fundamental difference between radicals and reactionaries. They both eventually arrive in the same place via different routes.
Isn't the main unknown in that gap between III and IV how Han met Chewie?
In the Hairy Scary Bear Bar, a well known meatmarket on Tattooine, Solo's eyes met the Wookiee's over the crowded room. "Say, how about a hug, big guy?" asks Solo, as Chewbacca coquettishly flips his curly locks over his shoulder. In a smokily seductive and sensual voice, the Wookiee replied "WaaaaaUUUUUUnnnnnnnGGGGGGaaaaa!" and Solo's heart pounded with joy like it hadn't since his first illegal cargo run.
Why are they releasing old-fashioned 3D movies, when everybody knows that the ultimate cinematic experience is smell-o-vision? With smell-o-vision, we'd be able to experience Jabba the Hutt as he was truly meant to be experienced.
When I'm queen I want the footman to carry the whole stereo around for me.
She's probably too embarassed to have everyone hear Her Robbie Williams and Duran Duran collection out loud. Say, when is Her Highness' silhouette-dancing ad going to be released? Maybe she'll sell out to Sir Gates and appear at a conference screaming "Commoners, Commoners, Commoners!"
No, it won't be made with French labor! It will be assembled from Chinese components by genetically modified ex-Walmart employees (Walmart uses robots and child labor instead). And Halliburton will manage the contract.
Us 80s kids (those that actually grew up in the 80s, not those born in them) are a very odd breed. We bridged the cultural gap between Leave it to Beaver and American Idol. Between transistor radios and mp3 players. Between pocket calculators and the latest G5s. Between Bugs Bunny and Pokemon.
Hey, don't forget Madonna. How many 80s boys (and girls for that matter) had a crush on her?

But why do you need to "switch"? You just have your non-mouse hand on the keyboard, and the layout of the cut-copy-paste shortcuts is quite ergonomic.
Nope, not a chance. It's just not the Mac way, and that's that. Believe me, I've looked into it.
not a chance? I don't see what is preventing someone knowledgeable enough from implementing this.
No. That's one of the main problems.

You mean, I can finally install Linux on my Technics 1200 turntables? I find this quite astonishing.
I've seen the video. Believe me. Made me want to reach for a bottle of bleach to cleanse my eyes. It's funny, but not "ha-ha" funny.
