What the hell Apple, why kill OpenClip?

A couple days ago I wrote a quick post after stumbling upon OpenClip. It was a genius workaround that would give us copy and paste in the interim while Apple got their act together. I went back to the site today to check it out again and found a notice that Apple has been erecting stumbling blocks, making it difficult for them to move forward with the original concept.

Unless Apple is close to implementing Cut/Paste in the near future, what the hell gives?

From OpenClip:
“However, even though apple is killing the concept behind the current OpenClip, that doesn’t mean we can’t change the concept. A shared clipboard could be stored in an Address Book card or even on a remote server. Those solutions aren’t as good as the OpenClip implementation, but they aren’t bad. ”

Can’t a brother just get some damn cut and paste in here?

Ugggh.

Well, I'm pretty much addicted to all things Apple, and Twitter. That's probably all you really need to know. If I'm not posting here, I'm probably wasting time on Twitter.
