ME IS BROKENZ - HALP!

4NT1-C4PS L0CKS 1Z APPL3?

Apologies for not posting yesterday. Sad as it sounds, 259 concurrent connections brought the site down on it’s knees. Stupid Digg. ;) Not exactly cruise control for the cool-o-plane, but the Caps key (ya know, the one you keep accidently pressing) just took a serious beating from Apple and was pushed one step down the ladder into submission. Whilst the all hallowed (all hated?) capital-bringer-of-doom has seen it’s fair share of enemies off (curse you FORTAN programmers!), the question remains, how long will it last?

Though only, in reality, a small change, Apple’s decision to change the function of the Caps-Lock key ever so slightly has caused uproar in the blogging community. Though undocumented, “Anti-jab protection” (or so it’s been dubbed) has been added, to cancel out any short, presumingly accidental keystrokes and to get the Caps key to light up, you’ll need to press and hold for a good few seconds to let your creative 419-scamming juices run wild (yeah, I’m talkin’ to you Dr. Bryan McDonald)!

Here’s a quick video which crashed friefoxsupposedly shows the delay in action.

Yo David, brendan here! How you keepin’ man?

There was some confusion about that Caps key, you only need to hold it briefly - as in, a normal keystroke. If you accidentally tap it while typing very fast it likely wont come on, but it does come on when you type it at a regular speed. As an owner of and typer (;)) on the new keyboard I can say without hesitation this whole thing has been taken out of context and blown out of all proportions, in my opinion.

Later dude!
