So, now that the government can safely do nothing, why won't the private sector fill in? 3 part answer: 1) my understanding of the political lean of the city is that the government is the great social savior. 2) most private groups who

The laptop trackpads with 2 finger touch are great. Having to consciously think "I need to click in the bottom right corner to right click" on non-apple laptop is cumbersome. It's never felt as natural on their mice though.
