A feature that the Macbook Air desperately needs

Triple-finger drag == “move current window around on the screen”.

That would fix *so much* despite being such a tiny tiny feature.

Of course, it also needs for OS X to gain some basic features to bring it kicking and dragging into the 21st Century (I sometimes wonder how many people at Apple actually a) use computers on a daily basis and b) have tried seeing what “normal” development work on *other* platforms is like. The world has become a much better place in the last 10 years in ways that sometimes seem to have passed them by :P…):

  • In OS X: window-maximize button. There is no excuse. STFU.
  • In OS X: user-mapping of the other multi-touch functions to keyboard shortcuts or scripts
  • On the Air: a pageup key and a pagedown key (!)
  • In OS X: some Apple engineer to remember to make the checkbox for “do NOT automatically spam all my private data on every random, unsecured wireless network you can find” actually work, instead of being ignored by the OS (yeah, it’s a bug. Needs fixing)
  • In OS X: add a full Alt-Tab feature. Like with Linux and Windows. One which actually works

But other than that, it’s mostly nice and still enjoyable. A proper review is coming soon, with answers to all the questions I had (or people have asked me) that no-one else seems to have covered in their online reviews. Stuff like “does it work outside on a sunny day?” (short answer: yeah! West Coast sunshine = no problem)
