Oh yeah you're right. The other companies have never tried to come up with MacBook Pro, iPod, iPhone, or iPad clones, ever.Solstice said:
You can jailbreak any iPhone and activate the new features as well.Solstice said:

Shit, I didn't know rooting Android gave you that.Fusebox said:
Those would be hardware features, not OS/software features. Don't believe you can add those to Android phones through rooting either.Fusebox said:

I meant the new software features, the same type you'd add by rooting your Droid phone to put on the new OS.Fusebox said:

Is this a mockup? Because the regular, Mighty, or Magic mouse don't have that shape. That's kinda how I wish the Magic mouse was shaped, actually.Kinyou said:
Aren't they sometimes just going for style over substance? (Never got to try the mouse)
i don't miss it. it's a click with a button press on the keyboard. same trouble.Sharp said:
Your argument is just assuming everyone's using Windows. OSX rarely requires right-clicks. It's a human interface device designed for the operating system.Sharp said:
Nothing requires right clicks. That doesn't mean they're not useful all the time in OSX. Since I'm assuming you're a "power user" and use browsers, my guess is that on occasion you like to save images online, copy links, etc, as well as perform actions like opening a file with the non-default application or looking at its properties. All of these are facilitated by right click, and all of these are significantly more difficult to do (though still possible) without right-click or some facsimile of it. BTW, I'm not sure why you think I'm assuming everyone's using Windows since my main computer is a Macbook Pro and I'm on a Mac right now, primarily because I like OS X. Doesn't mean I make excuses for the hardware.Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
I don't think many people here are arguing that they prefer no right-click, but some people are arguing that it's a good design decision for intuitive purposes. I maintain that that's not really the case, and was using it as an example of how Apple sometimes completely misses the mark with its "innovations."
You can enable right-click in the software and the hardware has sensors for it and you can plug in any mouse in the world anyway. What's the problem?Sharp said:
Sharp said:
You're missing the point, I think. Firstly, the iMac one-button mouse did not have sensors for it. It also lacked a scroll-wheel equivalent, which was stupid. That you can enable it or plug in your own mouse or use keyboard shortcuts to replicate the same functionality doesn't change the fact that you shouldn't have to. It's not enough of an issue that I'm going to stop using Apple products or anything, it's solely being used as an example of how Apple's made its fair share of dumb hardware decisions.Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
The mouse gestures are incredibly annoying and inconsistent, at least for me, but I'm not even talking about their laptops right now. I'm talking about their plain old-fashioned mice, the ones that came with the iMac that pretty clearly had one button and one button only. And of course you can connect a regular mouse... why is that relevant when we're talking about Apple's default hardware? I have no real problems with their software.H_Prestige said:
This guy makes like no money, yet buys Apple products, but Fusebox still calls all Apple users elitists.Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
That doesn't do the same thing. That's the equivalent of 'right click -> Send to [x]," which I would argue is at worst as difficult. That's also only one of the examples I gave. If you want a more detailed example than the above, how would you open a frame in its own tab without right click? I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I don't know any easy one.giga said:
I know there are plenty of users who have difficulty distinguishing between the two types of clicks, and I acknowledged as such earlier. But most of these people either just don't use right click (they just assume that click means left click), or they haven't grown up with computers. In today's society, there is really no reason at all to produce mice with just one button. Note that Apple recognizes that: that's why the Mighty Mouse can handle left and right clicks and has a middle mouse button to boot. I seriously do not know why I'm still talking about this one hardware feature, I was pointing out that Apple isn't perfect and made a statement like "it is dumb to not include right click at all," a statement that I thought would resonate at least on GAF (which is full of power users at the far right of the tech bell curve).giga said:
Nothing. God. My initial response was to someone who claimed that Apple never released anything that wasn't absolutely perfect, polished and beautifully intuitive. Not "most of the time" or "tried to." Never. I gave a counterexample and got mobbed. This is why even though I own and use Apple products I don't like being called an Apple fan. Because it implies a level of groupthink and zealousness that I cannot endorse.giga said:
lol everything is serious business to you.Sharp said:
When you spend that much, that's pretty much what's happening.JBuccCP said:
