Sorry, I was being sarcastic but it really doesn't read like it in retrospect. Totally agree with everything you wrote.

Tell the truth or remain silent. Try not to incriminate yourself.
tzakrajs··on When Can I Reuse This Calendar?

tzakrajs··on Steve Wozniak Says People Should Get Off Facebook Permanently
Seconded. I found that I didn’t lose anything by leaving Facebook.

tzakrajs··on Kuo: Apple to include new scissor switch keyboard in MacBook
I totally agree about bottoming out. It's more about the amount of force needed to trigger the switch, which on a capactive touch would be 0.

Mechanical keyboards just don't agree with my hands and wrists sadly.

Secretly I was hoping Apple would create a haptic capacitive touch keyboard with a display behind it.
