Many people have noticed problems with the new trackpad not registering clicks. Although i had not experienced this myself, Apple decided that action was required.
Last night an update was distributed. It was quick and simple and, reportedly, fixes the problems.
Higher Quality MacBook and MacBook Pro Case Photos Leaked - Mac Rumors.
From the rumours and looks of things, there will be no FireWire on the new MacBook and only a single FireWire 800 port on the MacBook Pro.
I love dual monitors. I love the increased productivity they give me; not having to cmd+tab or exposé between windows when I’m looking something up, or being able to keep my eye on IRC or an IM conversation simply by flicking my eyes across rather than having to distract myself with changing windows. I also love the increased productivity using a Mac gives me; the OS really is a joy to use day to day - it’s functional, elegant, fun, and relaxing: I don’t find myself ever fighting with the operating system and its applications like I do with Linux, and sometimes Windows.
You can probably guess what comes next.
I am now the proud owner of a Wired Apple Keyboard as of this evening. I’d been discussing with x5315 my desire to use Mac OS X in a more desktop environment; something I had attempted to do with my MacBook when I first got it, but found using a laptop screen, keyboard, and overall form somewhat uncomfortable for use during long periods. What I really wanted, was a nice Apple workstation, but I don’t want an iMac, I can’t afford a Mac Pro, and the Mac Mini really needs a refresh. So we came up with the idea of buying a mini-DVI to VGA adaptor and using the monitor I have for my gaming rig (which doesn’t get much use at the moment), and a keyboard. In the end, I fell for the Apple RDF and bought an Apple wired keyboard as well, and thought I’d give my initial thoughts on it.
