5 Predictions for Apple in 2007
Michael writes "2006 is coming to a close, and all anyone can think about (in regards to Apple, at least) is the upcoming Apple phone, but what happens next? What are we going to be salivating over and speculating about after Macworld? What changes are in store for Apple in 2007? No one knows for sure, but it sure is fun to take a guess."
I bought a MacBook Pro a month ago, my first Mac in 15 years.
The touchpad works quite well overall, the two-finger scrolling is especially good IMO.
You can perform a right-click with the touchpad as well, but you have to turn on the feature first. Once it is on just have two fingers on the touchpad and click the button -- right click.
Overall the MacBook Pro is far and away the nicest notebook I have used, and I've used a lot of notebooks. My Toshiba Libretto and IBM ThinkPad are soon to be for sale.
Some people are like slinkies--basically useless but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
There are three ways to right click from apple. The old fashioned ctrl-click. Going in to system preferences and turning on the option so when there are two fingers on the track pad and clicked for it to act like a right click. And of course the Mighty Mouse. Personally, I use both the wireless mighty mouse and the two finger touch-pad click for when I am too lazy to pull out the mouse. Oddly enough - I don't find myself right clicking that often...

Jobs will just fire up the RDF, and with a mesmerizing Keynote, simply move all that stuff way into the back of the minds of the investigators, judges, etc.

You don't have to use the mouse button, you can just tap with two fingers for a right click once you've enabled two finger scroll and tap in the trackpad settings.
I was talking to a friend of mine the other night, a friend who has had an opportunity to work with people at Apple to develop drivers for a network adapter or something similar. He says that Apple is horrible to deal with because no one knows (is allowed to know) anything going on outside of their department. Evidently the company has informational bulkheads everywhere, very likely so that, like in a submarine, a leak in one area won't take down the entire vessel. Having established a structure like this, it's likely that even the guys at the top can maintain plausible deniability.
