1998 I was sitting at my desk with my laptop, PDA, and cell phone in front of me hating them. The VP's assistant once again had asked me why her PDA could not call her laptop and her cell phone, then send a file to her VP when he was in a meeting on the other coast. Looking at them it was obvious that you could eliminate the PDA by including the cell phone FM chip in the laptop. Who would want to hold a laptop up to their head to have a conversation....it was a funny image at the time. I kept running into executives who wanted to know why their cell phone couldn't do what their laptop did for them. And I kept thinking how much easier my life would be if the "Compaq flat panel\slide out keyboard" attached to the server racks to access the servers was a detached tablet with WiFi.

People wish for a winged unicorn when what they need is always spoken without thinking about it when they tell each other about the trials and tribulations of their day. That doesn't mean what they need is even a good thing. Look at the socialization issues our first total techno\internet generation has in face to face interactions since Jobs saw the need versus the tech fad with the smart phone\tablet.

Apple didn't invent tablets or smartphones, wasn't the first company to come out with them, and had some flops before coming out with successful versions.

Once they got it all worked out in next versions, however, they obviously nailed it, had awesome judgement and execution, and gathered up enormous market share.

Mainly they just had a huge marketing division. They nailed the marketing and that was their success.

I think they are great at marketing, and design.  Their products have "it" for a lot of people.

I must have missed something. I have been away this month, but I don't get this. I read EVERY line in this post and don't get what the problem is ok it's clipboard and panels like radio text and other panels? Such as those you can drag to diffrent locations from the gui options screen? Or has it changed since Feb 27 2017? Just wondering what all the hub ubb is about, no one actually specified what the "problem was" I did read a comment on a new user's post on help page, that stated that no icons showed if your bases radar was down from an long time player too. So maybe a misunderstanding or misconception on how to adjust a setting? Don't know, it's not described, so could be....just saying
