Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner

He’s only spent a couple hours on my desk, and I’ll miss him (true that those things boot fast, and seeing it instantaneously open a .dmg or launch an application is a bit frustrating), but that’s nothing compared to what I’ll have to deal with on Monday.

I can’t believe they’re reserving three function keys — the same keys that should be allocated to that dear Exposé — to control keyboard backlight. Are those really the same designers who decline to integrate a memory card reader because that would confuse users?

Thank god you can set the system up so function keys will be accessible without pressing Fn, but I can’t quite understand why that’s not the default setting.

 

[+20min.] Oh, by the way: no noticeable whine (not that I would have heard it over my room’s fan blowing full-speed).

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
