The Apple Tablet OS & User Experience
“For example, the simple act of entering text via an on-screen keyboard. When holding the device in portrait orientation then the on-screen keyboard could be essentially the same as the iPhone’s in concept, but what about when you’re holding the tablet horizontally with two hands? How does the keyboard work in that scenario? If you stretch the keyboard across the device’s screen when in landscape orientation then your thumbs won’t be able to hit the middle keys without stretching and reaching. This orientation works on the iPhone because the screen is only 480 pixels wide but what happens when the horizontal dimension of the screen is 800px or 1200px? This same layout just doesn’t work.”
Great read. Though I believe the OS will be something entirely different, both from iPhone OS and Mac OS. Apple doesn’t like to mix stuff, usually.

Decloner: Find and Remove Duplicates on Mac
So, you download a lot of stuff everyday and your downloads folder is a total mess. Or, you download so much stuff (music, icons, PDFs, images) that sometimes you can’t remember which files you’ve already downloaded..and you download them again, just to be sure. Obviously, you don’t have time to clean up that folder or, you just don’t want to.
Then, there’s another situation: you work a lot. You work so much that after some time your /Work folder wastes tons of GBs. Pages files, spreadsheets, PSDs,notes, stock photos..that’s very likely to happen.
Ok, let’s talk about Decloner.
