My iPad just told me that I can do a three-finger grab/drop gesture for cut/paste now, which owns.

Well, it looks like the water got behind the home button. There were calcium stains from dried water all over it. One of the cats knocked over a full glass of water on our coffee table where my wife had left her iPad. It soaked in that water all night before we saw it the next morning.

That was 100% intentional, she obviously pays more attention to the iPad than the cat.

Before you can comment on the camera bump or the screen notch you need to post a list of what successful products you have designed and how many have been sold worldwide.

You still have to dig out all that stuff when you run up against the thing or two that the iPad can’t do. But now you also have to spend half a day each time installing updates because the stuff hardly ever gets powered up.

A while back I used a phone app that make floor plans by holding your phone flat against a wall, one wall after the other from room to room. I think it worked purely off the GPS/compass and some kind of inertial calculation and was shockingly close to the right dimensions when I checked with a tape measure.


edit: It was MagicPlan I think.

What's the best PDF reader? iBooks works great as a UI, but the organization is garbage and it bloats file sizes for some reason. I dropped <500mb in and now iBooks is using 2gb, and I need to put like 10 gigs more PDFs on here.

Someone dust off the old thread title.



edit: Goodreader used to be the universal recommendation for pdf viewers, not sure if that is still the case.

Just put in some of those magnet connectors around the edges of each iPad so they can be snapped together into as large of an array as you want. When they are snapped together all of them but the first go into external monitor mode.

If you want a calculator spend $4 and help out this dude:

TLDR: retired engineer builds a simple dual calculator app, people go nuts at how useful having two side by side calculators that can transfer data back and forth are.

Imagine if someone had simply introduced this guy to an RPN calculator at some point in his career. :lol:
