Shake to undo in iOS
Authored by: Mac Berry on Oct 21, '10 09:56:14AM
I'm going to sound very negative here, but I'm seriously considering removing this site from my bookmarks :(

A hint is not a hint just because not everyone knows about it. It's a hint because it's a clever way to do something previously impossible or more difficult, or is a hidden feature, or similar. It's something most people won't know about, not something some people won't. In general, I don't see pointing out a standard feature of the OS as a hint.

Lets try a few more shall we:

- "To move the curser while typing……………"

- "To make it easier to get back to the app store when it exits to install a new app on a far flung page, quickly tap the page immediately after the app store exits". Oh no hang on, we've had that one. How about;

- "To make it easier to get back to the app store when it exits to install a new app on a far flung page, press the home button"

If we're going to have hints published simply because they're a feature that's not been listed here before, lets change the site name to "Mac OS X Feature List".

So "shake to undo" isn't a hint. "Do ???? to make undo easier on an iPad", would be (if someone can come up with a way).

I think some quality control is called for ;)

IMHO, obviously :)

I agree.

"To turn on your laptop..."

Do not let the screened door hit you in your unhappy assets on your way out!

Just because something does not fit your definition of a hint, does not make it not a hint. This site used to have a lot more hints published in a day but it has slowed considerably. Perhaps if you quit belly aching and contributed, it seems that you have been pointed to the submission button, there would be more/better hints to publish.
