iPad habit creeping in to MacBook
No matter how hard you expect it to happen, those keys on that MacBook’s keyboard won’t ever flip and reveal additional characters. Oh, and there’s no .?123 key on the MacBook to tap and flip the keyboard. Maybe in the future when Apple introduces context aware touch-enabled keyboard for its Macs as per their patent, but not now, not yet, and definitely not on this MacBook you’re typing on.
This is something I have to remind myself almost daily since May. The time spent typing on the iPad has definitely taken over my muscle memory on using the MacBook and its traditional (I’m trying to avoid describing it as quaint) keyboard.
Speaking of additional characters, I wish Apple would incorporate special characters and symbols into the iOS keyboards. All they have to do is make it an additional keyboard option that can be activated by tapping the globe icon.
More than a year ago I got so used to double tapping the space bar to end a sentence when typing on the iPhone, I started doing it on the MacBook.
iTunes had that “feature” where it stops updating podcasts since it first supported them, and it always used an exclamation mark for it.
So people told me. Never seen it before, maybe I was diligent in my podcast listening schedule until recently.
Hi, is the twitter widget inside the theme or where cai I find it? Thx
It came with the theme
I don’t recall this feature in iTunes 9. iTunes 10 apparently recognizes which subscribed podcasts I haven’t listened to in a certain period of time and automatically stops the subscription. On the side of the podcast title it will mark them with an exclamation mark inside a gray circle just like songs or videos that are missing from the library.
That last point is an issue in itself. Missing items in iTunes have always been marked with that icon. By marking neglected podcasts with the same icon, it can lead people to think their podcasts are missing. Of course, clicking on the icon brings up the dialog box above which explains the situation, but it’s still grounds for confusion.
It’s almost like how Apple uses the same tunes for the default SMS tone in iPhones as when Mac OS X finishes a disc burn or completes an installation.
