Microsoft Office must be one of the primary reasons for choosing a Windows Tablet. Hovering the stylus over a MS Office document causes a Tablet Input Panel icon to appear next to the cursor. Tapping this opens the TIP, floating next to the insertion point. I have noticed that this only occurs consistently in MS Office and in Internet Explor...
Photo by the Inquisitor My Apple Newton recorded its 250,000th visitor over night. Thanks to everyone who took the time to pop by Time to crack open another lager.
Over on the Logos 4 forum , there has been an interesting discussion about the interaction between desktop and mobile platforms. Russ White captured the problem quite well, I think: The person who can figure out how to make a tablet work like a PC --the same level of productivity as I can get on a 28in monitor with a pad and keyboard on with no ke...

Modeless Computing is an integral feature of the Apple Newton's user interface design. Wherever possible the original Newton designers tried lo...

Walter Smith (Photo by Adam Tow) Walter Smith joined the Newton group in 1988. He is the principal designer and implementor of NewtonScript and the Newton object store. Here is his take on how Apple decided to develop a new language, NewtonScript: One of the problems that interested us in those days was choosing a language for Newton. We knew it w...
Ever since I shifted to using an IBM Model M keyboard I have been in keyboard heaven. Only one downside: It's made of metal and it's HEAVY. I have been a little frustrated at the amount of effort needed to put it aside and make some space on my desktop so that I can carry on working with my Newton as required. When I ...
If you haven't been keeping an eye on UNNA (the United Network of Newton Archives) then you should. Since Morgan Aldridge has had the opportunity to do some maintenance last year there has been a steady stream of new apps and system enhancements being added to the archive. Here's the last dozen or so: URL helper : Lets URLs be ad...
