Sometimes Apple just needs to remind the customer who is in charge.

Well, anyone who knows me at all knows I hate change. And so something as outrageous as this just really pissed me off. Every time I think I will scroll up to see what topics people have recently replied to, it scrolls down sad

I finally found how to change it online. I was afraid I would break the computer in anger.

It was one of the few things I didn't like about my Air.

Their reasoning when they released it was it's more "iPhone-like", since you slide your finger up to scroll down.

I personally think it's f'king retarded.

Yeah those dumb little touchscreen tablets are taking over as the "made for device" interfacewise. Look at windows 8 -- same thing -- the tablet is the primary market and the PC is along for the ride.

Eventually PCs will be like wii U where you have to use a tablet as an input device for the PC.
