A Note on Being Productive...

To-Do lists are essential to my life. Without them I lose track of not just time but relative importance as well. I tend to be clearer minded in the morning as opposed to later in the day so I need to make my list early on before other things pop up and distract me (happens at work all the time). It doesn't have to be long - just efficient. I even plan time to goof off a bit or accomplish something enjoyable (like reading a book).

Right now I have Any.Do and Wunderlist on my phone. I use Any.Do for more general, day to day things that are just my problem. It is very quick to add and subtract from and organizes tasks very basic ways. 

Wunderlist is more of a power feature app. Lists can be broken in to sublists, tasks assigned, and notes given. When one general task, like shopping or apartment things, have sub tasks I use Wunderlist. Plus, it is far better at sharing tasks with other users. Downside is that it is clunkier and slower. That, however, is usually the price of power. 

It isn't the size that counts - it's the SIZE that counts!

I'm reposting my comment as Good OL MC from a Rene Ritchie iMore article:

An iPad with an even larger screen doesn't add much to the table. Tablets can get pretty awkward once they are bigger than the current Air - and I lump the previous iPads in with that statement.

If anything was proven to me in 2013 it was that a phone with a big screen can be incredibly usable with one hand with no juggling. The phone that proved it was the Moto X. Despite the flaws it has I find it hard to argue with the ergonomics of the device. And, like you said, software can fix any other one handed troubles. I'll just add to that by saying software does that so long as the phone is still easy to hold. If Apple can negotiate that compromise it will be a success.

It isn't the size of the screen that matters - it is the size of the phone.

OneDrive

So, here is the issue:

Microsoft renaming SkyDrive to OneDrive because of copyright issues is what it is: an attempt to escape a legal problem. That is acceptable. 

But OneDrive? What does that even mean? The two words don't say much together and tell very little to anyone who has never heard of it. 

iCloud = Apple product ("I") that is cloud based.

Google Drive = 1. Google product. 2. "Drive" is still a bit vague and isn't the best name, but after a thought or two you put together that it is Google's hard drive for you. 

On the less intuitive level you get something like Dropbox - it doesn't say anything. But it is catchy. It flows. Take a few extra thought steps from Google Drive and you get that you, "drop your files in the box."

I feel bad for Microsoft here.
