Boring But Ridiculous Apple Rumors. Ridiculous as they are (giving up the iPod wheel for “touch strips”? lame), at least “Black Cherry” sounds better, for an Aqua replacement, than “Illuminous.”

I don’t care about transforming the keyboard to Dvorak layout, but this is what MacBook keys look like. You know you want to know.

Create Smart Playlists for iPods without music in iTunes. That’s weird: I always assumed that iTunes compiled smart playlists on the computer and then sent them to the iPod, but apparently the iPod is smart enough to process them by itself now.

I’m not sure how that can actually be a good thing — even if the device’s processing power is sufficient, you’re at the very least trading a little battery life for a few kilobytes of storage space, aren’t you?

Funny. I reinstalled OS X ages ago and only just realized I must have forgotten to disable the Caps Lock key again.

Guess I don’t accidentally hit it on this keyboard as often as I used to.

 

P.S. Uh… no. It’s just that the setting doesn’t seem to stick anymore.

And, if I still had a Windows machine, I’d probably be quite interested in the Dexpot virtual desktop manager.
