    hey all,

    just got the new macbook and still trying to adapt to it. it has some cool new things that the original macbook i had didn't include =p

    anyway, the Spaces thing is really useful. but i'm wondering if its possible to make it work with the four fingers gesture thingy instead of keyboard. it would be more useful if swiping to the left or right would navigate through spaces. i don't get the point of the current icons that show when i swipe my fingers. i dont like them.


    talking about swiping. i'm wondering... how can i use the two fingers to zoom in and rotate the photos? I tried iPhoto and its not what they've been showing us on tv. so which program were they using?

    another thing, u know this program PicLens? is it possible to make this finger thingy work with it? or any other program in a matter of fact.


    thanks in advance.

    go to system preferences underpersonal click on expose and spaces then check enabled spaces at the top left corner.


    u can drag opened applications from your desktop to other desktop spaces.

    About the zooming in, I'm pretty sure that that is with preview, and you use it just like you would zoom in with and Ipod Touch or Iphone. And you can also rotate the picture by taking 2 fingers and making a circle on the trackpad.

    lol i have always wanted to work near Aberdeen or the North Seas as we call it in the oil industry but it's freezing and full of racist poms.

    In our industry mostly the poms (the english or the UK) are so racist towards everyone.
