> Put a second finger at the bottom of the touchpad
Why would you use a second finger when your thumb is already hanging out there at the bottom of the trackpad? :)
How I drag things on a trackpad (or a trackpoint for that matter) hasn't changed since the 90s. There isn't literally a button there under my thumb any more, but it makes no difference. I don't really follow the comments that this is unintuitive; most computer interaction is learned rather than intuited, and this interaction has simply not changed. Perhaps other ways of dragging were added, but they were always inferior.
