Here’s a Guide to Every iPad Screen Gesture You Should Know

The Slide Over feature on an iPad is like having a picture-in-picture capability. While you’re using an app like Safari or browsing through your photos, you can open a mini window that appears in front of the main app you’re using. This is called Slide Over.

Not all apps can be used in Slide Over mode, but some common ones include Spotify, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Notes, and Clock. There are other apps that support Slide Over as well, but those are good ones to start with if you want to try out this feature.

Once you’ve opened a Slide Over window, your iPad will remember the apps you use most frequently in this mode. This makes it easy to swipe between them. For example, if you often use Spotify and the Clock app as Slide Over windows, you can swipe left or right at the bottom edge of the Slide Over window to switch between them. On older iPads, you may need to swipe with a slight arc at the bottom edge.

The simplest way to open a Slide Over window is to drag and drop an app from your Dock. When you’re in an app, slowly slide up from the bottom edge of your screen to access your Dock. Then, tap and hold the app you want and drag it towards the right or left edge of your screen. Be careful not to drag it too far, as that will activate the Split View feature instead of Slide Over.

Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series Reaches 190 MPH on Autobahn

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, released in 2010, was praised by Jeremy Clarkson as “the greatest car in the world.” However, it was known for being a little tricky to handle around corners as the rear would often slide out. In 2013, Mercedes introduced the SLS AMG Black Series, which Clarkson described as a “serious car” with no sense of humor.

The Black Series is equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 622 horsepower and 468 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch sports transmission. The transmission is mounted lower than in the standard SLS AMG for improved center of gravity.

Weight reduction was achieved through the use of carbon fiber in the body panels, mechanical components, and space frame. The Black Series weighs 3,415 pounds, which is 154 pounds lighter than the standard model. Other weight-saving measures include a titanium exhaust and a lithium-ion starter battery.

The specifications claim a 0-62 mph time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph. To see if these numbers hold up, there is a video embedded at the top of the page where a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is tested on the unrestricted Autobahn by AutoTopNL.

Car enthusiasts will find the video exhilarating. Feel free to watch it and share your thoughts in the comments section below.
