Multitouch on the MacBook Air and Beyond

[NOV]

thanks for this thread! Didn't know my current MacBook's trackpad was able of scrolling and right-clicking. 😀
The right-clicking seems a bit cumbersome though...

Maybe for people without a super drive?

But have access to one on their network? One where they'll still have to go to the computer to insert and remove the disk. I mean, in the MacBook Air it makes sense for installing from CDs and such but it seems useless on other computers.

I would have thought that Ctrl-clicking was much more cumbersome than just dropping two fingers the second of which would have been hovering somewhere above the trackpad anyway. I am loving the two-finger click. It's even less effort than right-clicking on a PC 😀

Forget the trackpad, that is 1990's technology. MacBook Air is just useless to any road warrior since swapping the battery for longer battery power availability is not even an option. Where is the MacBook Tablet? Where is the BlueRay DVD option? Where is HDMI support? ...

I have an iPod Video. It can play videos. The new iPod Classics, which also show videos, do that Coverflow deal. I could say that all Apple needs to do is just update my software to make my iPhone Video look like an iPod Classic. But I have no idea if my seemingly similar video screen or the guts inside it can do it or not. And without being an iPod hardware/software designer, how could I make such a grand statement?

That would be very presumptuous of me.

That's a bad analogy because of course the iPod Video can do coverflow. It will either be just as good as, but probably slower, than the iPod classic.

You could make a 286 do coverflow for god sake 🙂. It's all a matter of how pretty it will be!

Anyway it is presumptuous to presume we are being presumptuous!

Yeah, but you're presuming I was talking about anyone but myself. I could go on for days here.

I'm going to go install Leopard on my TI-82.....🙄

Well someone said a while back that they used all the gestures on camino but the back page and front page dont work and the zoom function doesnt work like it does on Safari. I wonder when they will have an updated version? I am not really that fond of Safari because of a few things and would much rather use Camino or Firefox. If someone got all the gestures to work on either of these please let me know.
