Apple Since it's weekend, which usually equates to no news, we figured we'd follow in Engadget's footsteps by asking you, our dear and loving readers, what you would change about Apple's current Mac Pro. Engadget readers already had a few things to say - this is the internet after all. And since this is OSNews, we add a question of our own: what would you change about Mac OS X?

... the paradigm is different.


Maybe that's why they haven't gotten around to implementing Cut in Finder? ;)

1. Screens are getting bigger and bigger these days... Does it make sense any time you open an application to take the whole screen? Have you seen that on a 30 inch monitor? It is ridiculous. It is waste in pure form.


Most people will not go above 20-22", because of the physical space in their rooms and on their desks. And let's not forget that laptops are becoming more and more popular by the day.

Drag and drop seems more natural


Copy/paste can be explained by a real-world metaphor - you take an object, put it into your pocket (clipboard) and take it where it's needed. It's not rocket science.

I understand the whole paradigm difference, and the fact that windows should stay visible for drag and drop, but wouldn't it make more sense to have all the windows visible, say on a taskbar thingy, so that you could drop what you need there? I usually stop midway in a drag and drop operation because I forget where my target window is. Sure I can use Expose to locate it, but it adds unnecessary complexity.
