Being a Security Consultant (not a fan of the word consultant, but alas) is pretty much synonym to being a technical writer, which means I spend a lot of my time in a word processor. One my (many) annoyances is that on any platform in any word processor someone decided to make paste with formatting the default behaviour. It must be me, but I never, ever want to paste formatting.
On Mac OS X you have a system wide shortcut key to paste without formatting. In Open Office you have a shortcut key as well. In Microsoft Office you will have to write a Macro.
For Microsoft Office look here: office.microsoft.com/…
For Microsoft Office 2007 specifically you can pretty much follow the steps above, but the menus differ slightly. So do this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | Sub PasteUnformattedText() ' ' PasteUnformattedText Macro ' ' Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText End Sub |
Unfortunatly I haven’t found a Windows system-wide solution.

So the general opinion is that the iPad sucks. I’ve posted some comments on Reddit myself.
Obviously the product has been over-hyped and Steve Jobs himself used over-the-top words like “it’s a dream”, “revolutionary”, etc. Not really what you want to hear. I don’t want to go into a pro/con discussion too much, let me just say that for me I think it has a place. I’ve been looking at e-book readers for a while and haven’t liked them a lot. I don’t want a Netbook, I have a laptop so I don’t see the point of having a second one; I hate to manage the same data on multiple devices. I seriously need a viewing-centric device for reading documents and watching movies. It has to be something in tablet form, without keyboard. I also want it to work without too much hassle. On the other hand I will be disappointed if I can’t read any of the formats I want or watch any of the movies I want. I also would have loved a camera. Maybe in future versions.
Anyway, I just thought off a cool application for the iPad. Why not use it as a second screen for my Macbook Pro? I’m assuming that it should be possible to simply hook it up to a DVI-out. But of course the question is if it will support video-in. I know I can’t send any video into my Macbook Pro’s DVI port. Additionally it would be really cool if you could sync docs this way.
Imagine the following:
UPDATE: found out about Wi-Di, awesome stuff. Wouldn’t that be great for the iPad?
