Sure, the low-profile keys took a little getting used to, but Apple is smart in transitioning users to lower and lower profile keys until they're left with just a surface to type on. I believe they're working on tactile responsiveness so they can replicate the experience of typing on a keyboard, but with a touchpad input area.</p><p>Then again, I could be totally wrong. Still, all of the signs are pointing toward a large touch-pad like keyboard interface for Macs in the future.</p><p>But I agree with you on 10/GUI. How can I use it to make tasks easier? How can I use it to interface with the computer more easily. I would think eye-tracking devices would be more beneficial. Look there, cursor moves there. Blink to click on the word. That type of thing.</p><p>Hey, we need more blinking when we work with our computers. Stop the red-eye! :-) </p>D Stephen HaynesTue, 13 Oct 2009 00:48:39 -0000
