Multi-touch like shortcut in OS X on MacBook trackpad

Posted in Apple, Blogroll, Design, Technology on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 by rasterbator

After purchasing a new MacBook Pro recently, I was attempting to Control-Click-Drag in a popup menu to delete a file when something strange happened: my screen acheived a zoom in. Now I know that zooming is possible by holding Option-Command and typing 8, and then using Option-Command – or + to acheive zooming in and out respectively. But I had mistakenly used two fingers on the trackpad. So not only can you scroll on a trackpad using two fingers, but you can also zoom in and out holding the Control key while doing so.

So if you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro, try the above sequence. Apple technology never ceases to amaze me. Who knows? Now if Apple can allow users to use the trackpad to scale images in iPhoto ala multi-touch on an iPhone…

Posted in Uncategorized on Thursday, January 4, 2007 by rasterbator

Giants lose last 2-3 games coming into the playoffs, one of them the Eagles. Eagles come into the playoffs on a roll, 5 wins in a row. Eagles run defense shaky.
