My name is Cédric Bozzi, I make apps and websites, and this is my tech blog — you’ll find news commentary here, from a very opinionated Mac-head.

Il y a une version française ici, but most of this blog’s contents are extracted from my Twitter feed, and hence only available in one language (which varies randomly).

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).
