Hello everyone,

I'd like to buy a silicon cover for my new MB. You know those zcover.com silicon protections. Did anyone ever try the Adobe Photoshop cover on a MB?

Also, I was wondering if there was a same product for Aperture 2.0, maybe from another website/company

NB.: Oh and I have a french canadian keyboard, I guess that makes things harder to find

Regards,

pinky

I tried one not to long ago, can't remember who it was made by as it came from a friend on another team around here, but I really didn't like the way it felt on the keyboard to be honest. They work ok, a bit squishy to me but they reduce the actual tactile feedback from your keyboard...

They seem accurate enough as to the shortcut keys, but I just couldn't get by the feeling.

They are indeed useful but I had to remove mine because I missed the 'feel' of my Macbook's keyboard. As Cara said it reduces the tactile feedback and it just made typing become more uncomfortable. It depends on the user as to whether that will affect their experience or not.

It could be a good idea to get a PS Shortcut overlay though, because you wouldn't be constantly using the keyboard.

I'm using one right now to type this message. I don't make any spelling mistakes with it and I type much faster. And the covers are PC compatible! ;)

I like using them. They are quite useful. I've spilt coffee on it a few times. You can chuck em in the dishwasher too. I'm lazy.

I use a iSkin.com skin for my MacBook keyboard. I find that typing with it is quieter than without it, it's so far done a great job of keeping my keyboard clean and so far I have zero complaints. It took me a few minutes to get used to it, but now I'm fine with it.

Nice thing is you can wash them when it's dirty or you spill something on it. :yes:

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
