Magic Trackpads Really ARE Made of Glass

Remember back in 2010 when Apple first came out with the Magic Trackpad and it was made of glass? Well, I can prove that the Magic Trackpads are made of glass. Last Friday night I opened my M2 MacBook Air and saw what looked like a hair across my trackpad. With a dog, two cats, […]

Evangelising macOS Spaces

A few weeks ago Allison and Ron described Apple’s new Stage Manager feature, and why it works so well for them on NosillaCast episode 919.

Confession From a Former Mouse User

Steve Sheridan here, the man behind the podfeet. I’ve been a die-hard mouse user ever since I started using a Mac in 1984.
