With a free update scheduled for later today, the Bing app from Microsoft promises to deliver a better way to copy and paste in iOS.
Nicknamed "Lasso", the new technique gives users the ability to draw a freehand circle around the text they want to highlight and instantly start a new search on that selection, instead of having to tap and drag the little blue box we have all come to know. And use. And maybe hate a little.
Bing group program manager Tony Chor claims that using Lasso instead of the standard blue box method can save users up to nine steps when initiating a search.
Nine seems like a lot of steps, but we are excited to see an alternative to the blue box, and drawing lassos on the iPad is always fun.
