Turn Your iOS 9 Keyboard Into a Trackpad Even Without 3D Touch

The iPhone 6s comes with 3D Touch which by pressing hard allows you to peep and pop into certain apps creating helpful shortcuts. It also allows you to turn your keyboard into a trackpad simply by pressing and holding down the keyboard. This allows you to move the cursor freely within the space you’re typing. What you may not know is that this feature is also available on older hardware without 3D Touch. Simply hold 2 fingers on your keyboard and a trackpad will appear! This seems to work on all older iPhones and iPads running iOS 9. 

This was an advertised thing. Use it.

How is using your iPad Pro on a couch or in bed? In any sort of reclining or laying position. I've been trying to find people's general comments about this but it's been hard.

With the smart keyboard, I find it really adaptable. I mostly use the iPad in bed on on a sofa. Works great.

What's your iPad Pro setup now? Keyboard, case, stand and why?

I’m using the Smart Keyboard case. I think it does an all-round good job of being a cover, keyboard and stand. There are better versions available of each of those component parts, but the fact that this bundles them all together in one package makes it the one for me.

Whether I am faster, slower, or more/less productive, that doesn’t matter. All I know is I want to work on this.

This is a thought I had in regards to working on the iPad Pro – a device that has seriously changed the way I work this year.

Today I have responded to emails, spoke to people in Slack, researched show topics, written sponsor scripts, read Twitter, spent time colouring, and set up this Tumblr site.

All from the iPad. I didn’t want to do it on my Mac.

techcrunch:

The iPad Pro is coming into the world with a lot of weight on its shoulders. The speculation and expectation are running high. Is it a potential laptop replacement? An enterprise play? Will it bring the consumption-heavy world of iPad. And on top of it everything else, the onus is on it to prove that Apple’s tablet line has legs in the face of slowing sales and an incredibly long replacement cycle.

Read the full review here. 

It’s an excellent tablet, and will replace the need for a laptop for most people. We are truly in a post PC world.

"Always stops rolling with the word 'Pencil'Facing Upward...":

Lauren Goode on the iPad Pro’s ‘Pencil’ as a part of her larger review of the product:

But the Pencil is just plain fun. It is indeed Apple white, and there are Apple-y things about it — for example, the fact that it is weighted, and won’t roll away on a table top, and always stops rolling with the word “Pencil” facing upward on its metal band (seriously, I’ve tried this at least a dozen times). Unlike Microsoft’s Surface stylus, the Pencil doesn’t have a clip, it’s not magnetized, and the end of it doesn’t work as an eraser — the end, instead, is a capped Lightning connector for charging.

It’s the little things…

These are the things that only Apple bothers thinking of.

“Many of us in the design team have worked together for 20 plus years. We’ve always drawn in our sketchbooks, and for the first time - despite flirting with some alternatives a couple of years ago - I’m seeing people starting to use the iPad and Apple Pencil. Our personal experience has been that there are definitely affordances and opportunities now that you have a much more natural and intuitive environment to make marks, there are clearly things you can do sketching and writing on the iPad which you could never dream of doing in the analogue world.”

The heart beats rhythmically, and so does a metronome.

So it makes sense that a metronome, typically used by musicians to help keep a steady beat, could help medical professionals restart a heart.

“What we know for sure,” says pediatric cardiologist Dianne Atkins, a spokeswoman with the American Heart Association, is that “high-quality CPR improves survival.” So anything that improves CPR could save lives.

For CPR to be effective, the rescuer kneels at the side of the person in distress, presses one hand on top of the other in the center of the person’s chest and pushes down about 2 inches to force blood through the body before releasing and then compressing again.

The optimal rate for compression is 100 to 120 per minute, which is “fairly fast” says Atkins, and hard to maintain without something to guide you. “When chest compression is too slow or too fast, it decreases the effectiveness of CPR,” she says.

That’s where the metronome comes in. It offers a consistent guide. With every click, you do a chest compression and the metronome helps you keep the beat. Previously researchers have tried using music, including the songs “Disco Science” and “Achy Breaky Heart” to set the beat.

A Metronome Can Help Set The CPR Beat
