[Matt Callac] “not to mention your neck and back from hunching over the touchscreen all day.”
Think less upright display, more drafting table. Fullscreen mode in Lion could also be a portent of a convertible iMac with a Touch enabled display that could pivot into more of a horizontal orientation that is conducive to large-scale touch. I could imagine the act of pulling the display down to table mode would even automatically shift the active app to fullscreen touch mode, just like the iPad Smart Cover wakes its host from sleep on open.
It could happen.

I did edit with a touchscreen Ampex ACE and it worked. I preferred the keyboard version or a 9100 editor altogether but it worked, and really well when hooking VPR 3s and Ampex switcher to it. The integration was only second to the Sony range.
As for Quantel’s interface it is very fast for quick assembly editing (like news), but a bit of a pain when it comes to trimming, splitting edits and so on, at least on the Editbox it was.

[Andrew Richards] ” I could imagine the act of pulling the display down to table mode would even automatically shift the active app to fullscreen touch mode…It could happen.”
It has. The HP Touchsmart does this now, except it’s not an either-or. Keyboard, mouse, touchscreen are all active, all the time. And the monitor reclines quite nicely, too.
You’ll get the gist pretty quick, but it really is worth watching the whole two minutes. Why, you’ll even see a couple of seconds worth of editing video being demoed at around 1:25.
You’ll see that it’s very, very consumer oriented, but you’ll also see that there’s no reason you couldn’t use it for really advanced stuff too. Science/research seems obvious, but just one example. “Apple abandoning pros” notwithstanding, something like FCPX would sing on this.
In any case, it’s hard to imagine that something like this isn’t coming from Apple, and soon.

wow…. I bet you & I are in a very small crowd… those who’ve edited on both ACE & Editbox/Henry. I used to have a bunch of CMX editors looking down their noses at my ACE suite, but when I showed off what I could do with the ACE programmable touchscreen macros (hooked into Ampex D2 machines, triggering hexadecimal machine commands that were part of the edit template), that turned some heads! lol…. the old days….
and remember what it was like when you were in a hurry & ended up with like 20 or so versions/precomps on the Quantel desktop, BEFORE they came out with the visual clip naming? trying to figure WHERE THE HE## that clip is??? lol….

[Joseph Owens] “I also get a kick out of people who use the work “paradigm” as if they knew what it meant, and no it doesn’t mean ‘new user interface’. “
No, the fact is that some people disagree on whether the “back to basics” nature of FCP X IS just a “new user interface”
From OED:
paradigm
(ˈpærədɪm, -daɪm)
Also 7 -digme.
[a. F. paradigme, ad. L. paradīgma, a. Gr. παράδειγµα pattern, example, f. παραδεικνύ-ναι to exhibit beside, show side by side. Formerly also in L. form.]
1. a.1.a A pattern, exemplar, example.
1483 Caxton Gold. Leg. 208/1 We now haue none enterpretour of the parablys ne paradygmes. 1576 Fleming Panopl. Epist. B j, Giue me a paradigme or example, of a deliberatiue kinde of epistle. 1669 Gale Crt. Gentiles i. iii. iii. 45 The Universe‥was made exactly conformable to its Paradigme, or universal Exemplar. 1752 J. Gill Trinity v. 91 The archetype, paradigm, exemplar, and idea, according to which all things were made. 1875 Jowett Plato (ed. 2) IV. 133 Socrates makes one more attempt to defend the Platonic ideas by representing them as paradigms.
b.1.b attrib., as paradigm case, a case or instance to be regarded as representative or typical.
1955 J. L. Austin How to do Things with Words (1962) xi. 132 We were content to refer to ‘statements’ as the typical or paradigm case. 1962 Listener 4 Oct. 516/1 Plato’s morality is supported and underlined by his theory of Forms, according to which mathematics is the paradigm case of knowledge. 1965 Mod. Law Rev. XXVIII. 509 The paradigm case at first instance—the core situation—appears to absorb so much attention that little concern is expended on the appeal process. 1974 Jrnl. Philos. LXXI. 337 Nagel employs a fairly standard ‘paradigm case argument’ in his analysis. 1977 Canad. Jrnl. Linguistics XXII. i. 13 A paradigm case is Anderson’s description of Breton vowel lowering.
†2.2 Rhet. (In L. form.) See quot. Obs.
1586 A. Day Eng. Secretary ii. (1625) 100 Paradigma, a manner of exhorting or with-drawing by example, as to say‥‘the nature of the Dolphin is not to suffer the yong one of her kinde to straggle vndefenced’. 1589 Puttenham Eng. Poesie iii. xix. (Arb.) 252 margin, Paradigma, or a resemblance by example.
3. a.3.a An example or pattern of the inflexion of a noun, verb, or other inflected part of speech.
1599 Minsheu Span. Gram. 20 Now it remaineth to giue a Paradigma or example of euery Coniugation of their Moodes. 1698 Wallis in Phil. Trans. XX. 358 It will be convenient‥to Write him out a full Paradigm of some one Verb. 1859 Max Müller Sc. Lang. (1861) 81 Paradigms of regular and irregular nouns and verbs. 1892 Davidson Hebr. Gram. 72 Skeleton paradigm of the regular verb.
b.3.b transf. and fig.
1929 C. Day Lewis Transitional Poem ii. 25, I would be pædagogue—hear poplar, lime And oak recite the seasons’ paradigm. 1964 Listener 6 Aug. 200/2 If one uses the word ‘paradigm’ as Wittgenstein himself used it, to denote a logical or conceptual structure serving us as a form of thought within a given area of experience. 1966 A. F. Parker-Rhodes in Automatic Transl. of Lang. (NATO Summer School, Venice, 1962) 173 The concept of paradigm thus enables us to approach the problem of mathematizing the process of syntactic description with greatly enhanced resources. 1970 Eng. Stud. LI. 18 Although Ohmann determines objective criteria to state the similarity (and at the same time the dissimilarity), there still remains a whole paradigm of related structures out of which the author has to choose the particular alternative(s) to match the marked term with. Ibid. 46 But, of course, for her Edwardian family life is a convenient paradigm of civilisation as a whole. 1973 C. Sagan Cosmic Connection (1974) xxiii. 155 There is a generation of men and women for whom‥the Moon was the paradigm of the unattainable. 1973 Times Lit. Suppl. 2 Mar. 238/4 The unfolding of terror and duplicity which follows is easily seen as a paradigm of the suppression of Dubček’s liberalizing administration. 1973 Nature 6 July 59/3 The use of induced epilepsy as an ‘interfering technique’ in the study of learning and memory paradigms. 1975 Language LI. 1009 The publication of Chomsky’s Syntactic structures provided a new paradigm for linguistics. 1976 T. Eagleton Crit. & Ideology i. 19 In the drive for order, proportion and propriety, the demand for socially cohesive categories of Nature and Reason,‥history once again selects criticism as both paradigm and instrument of such a project. 1976 Language LII. 286 As for the periods in between the quantum leaps, Kuhn contends that each period of normal science in the development of a scientific discipline corresponds to one and only one methodological framework or paradigm. In a nut⁓shell, paradigms are ‘universally recognized scientific achievements that for a time provide model problems and solutions to a community of practitioners’. 1976 F. Zweig New Acquisitive Society ii. x. 132 The television set‥is the paradigm of consumer culture, with its disarming passivity prone to desires divorced from action.

I want to see that suite of touchscreens at lunchtime, when the pizza gets brought in and the client leans over my shoulder and says I want the cut right “there” [smear].
The engineering department will be reduced to the Windex department. There will be rules about what you can and can’t have for lunch. Salad…ok…tuna sub…forget it…cheese-itz snack…are you nuts? Dead pixels will no longer have any meaning, because they will be obscured by food particles and schmutz.
