Apple Launches New Magical Trackpad, 12 Core Macs

theappwhisperer writes "The Magic Trackpad is basically a larger version of the MacBook Pro touchpad, with 80% more surface area for all your swiping and pinching. The entire surface acts as a button, so it's also a possible mouse replacement. And all of the expected gestures are here: two-finger scrolling, pinch to zoom, fingertip rotation, and three- and four-finger swipes. You can enable and disable gestures at your discretion from System Preferences." They also launched 12-core Mac Pros coming in August.

    It's the Magic Trackpad, not the "Magical" Trackpad.

    It'd set a better example if Taco would stop trolling every Apple article.

    It must be a miserable life you live, devoid of the ability to recognize exaggeration with humorous intent. Or you actually just enjoy acting superior to others because it's easy to do and makes you feel better about yourself.

    Anyone know when Steve Jobs will tell us how to hold it? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

    There's no real to use uTorrent on Linux tho.

    I'm not going to use aria2c on windows with a crappy command line, neither going to run it in cygwin or powershell.

    Now if uTorrent for Linux was truly excellent, why not, but... ...then comes the closed source argument, which is just like the GPL vs BSD and friends. Choosing closed source is always the wrong choice in that case. Some drivers are closed source blobs and they are successful why? Cause there's no alternative. That's the only reason. Sorry, theres many very good alternative to uTorrent, arguably pretty much better ones too.

    So after all, It has nothing to do with being a new app.
