  • I have an idea about the sensors. See I was thinking that maybe it is not a hardware bug, but it was done purposely. If you cover either sensor there will be no change in the illumination. Only if you cover both. If for instance the sensors were working independently and you were covering one sensor with your hand to plug something to a port, then the illumination would change without it being needed. Therefore independently working sensors would create a bug.

  • Indeed, the system uses the maximum of the two light sensor readings in order to avoid that problem. That is a good idea, but not the problem I'm referring to.

    To see the asymmetry, cover up both sensors, then uncover either the left or the right sensor. In one of the cases, the light goes back up; in the other, it stays down. I can't remember which it is (my Air only has one sensor; it uses time smoothing instead).

  • hmmm, The right hand looks differetn to the left :s

  • Yeah, they have different chirality.

  • ctrl-scroll is pretty nice as well

  • How do you set this up?

  • Ohh yes, I get what you mean now. I have notice that myself too.

  • it is like changing desktops not windows

    example: you are running itunes, then you want to run garageband too, so you switch to a new desktop, but you still have itunes running

  • now let me get this straight... this allows you to switch between the open windows?

  • "Karma"... How stupid can people be? Isn't that only applied to life anyway (not like it's real)? Lol 'I wouldn't want my old MacBook to smack me back in the next life' LMAO poor ignorant fools..

  • dude hes swinging his hand over the speaker which has a light sensor in it. I've never seen a sneeze trigger a light sensor. Unless your sneeze is a dense ball of smog that can block out light.

  • I remember that comment! I read that when it was on the first page.
