A week ago, I implemented drag&drop for an iPad app. I explicitly made it not depend on the finger position, but the center of the dragged object, giving a much better experience.

This advantage might be specific to touch interfaces where your fingers obscure whatever you touch.

what's the over under on this being cited in a lack-of-women-in-tech article in the next two weeks?
