I find it interesting to surf the web on iPad which does not have a right click context menu... And I've been thinking about the iPad and other touch interfaces and the way they handle interaction on screen... Mimmicking that touch interface with the mouse seems tempting and the disabling of right click as well as selection of objects on screen can be useful in that context... But of course some other way of interacting with the content on screen will have to be allowed.. Click and hold or give some obvious buttons to deal with content... To watch the way interfaces and user interaction will change over the next few years will be interesting...
