Still an amazing hack today and I love it. However, I heard Apple are developing a touch screen MacBook this year, and I simply don't get why they're doing that. I don't know what's worse, the ergonomics or the fingerprints.
So you mean they're developing the iPad, an insanely popular device, and you're not sure why they would make such a device?
i used to have a bad touch screen laptop like 7 years ago and back then it made the mobile development more pleasant (both native and web based)
