I found out something very funny: the pages apple wrote about ergonomics (you can find them at http://www.apple.com/about/ergonomics/).
When you work, what do you use most frequently: the keyboard, the trackpad, and the screen.
But let's see what apple wrote about the fingers:
"Force — forceful exertions that do not cause harm with one motion, but which can build up micro-trauma over time. For example, holding unnecessary force in your thumb and fingers or using excessive force while keying and mousing are RMI risk factors."
So why? why did they choose to remove the button and use this incredibly stiff buttonless trackpad? - let's forget about noise -
"Eye strain refers to ocular fatigue, eye discomfort and headaches associated from intensive use of the eyes. Common causes include:
glare on the computer screen
poor visual correction (out of date eyeglass prescription)
[...]"
They tell you to "Use a glare screen or hood" (definition here: http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/g/glarescr.htm) but they forgot to add it on their most recent line of computers....
Isn't it funny? How many years ago did they write about ergonomics?
They forgot.
eh eh
what a mess they're doing...
