I just saw an amazing thing over at Dan’s Tech-n-Stuff. I have been using the “secondary click” and “two-finger scrolling” features on my Macbook’s trackpad for some time now. I have always seen the other options for “dragging” and “drag lock”, but never really looked into what they do. So instead of typing it, let’s let Dan explain it (he did so well):

• Click and Drag: Drag an item by double-tapping your trackpad and dragging it without lifting your finger. “Clicking” and “Dragging” must both be enabled in System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Trackpad.
• Drag Lock: Works with Click and Drag, requires you to tap once on your trackpad to release a dragged item. “Clicking”, “Dragging” and “Drag Lock” must all be enabled in System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Trackpad.

I just activated this feature, and I must say it is amazing. Being able to rely completely on the trackpad is a really good thing, and this option makes that possible.

You know, I really like M. Night Shyamalan. No one would argue that Sixth Sense was nothing short of awesome. Unbreakable was good in an often misunderstood way. Signs is one of my top-10 movies of all time. I liked The Village despite the randomness of the big twist at the end. It was still great. And, although contrary to popular opinion, I enjoyed Lady in the Water. So I would consider myself an M. Night Shyama-fan.

It only makes sense that I am really excited about his new movie “The Happening“. What in the heck is going on? Why are people killing themselves? Has emo music taken over the world? Whatever it is, it looks intriguing. Here is the trailer, you decide:
