WHY!?]]>Mar 31st 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/
Caps lock stuck again?

Not having used the laptop, I can't comment on the apparently glossy touchpad, but the reason for the lit buttons (having used another model of Acer before), is that the pad probably has two modes, one for media control, one for normal mouse trackpad. Switch between the two as you like.]]>Mar 31st 2010 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/I used to use an HP laptop, and they're known for their smooth glossy touchpads.

They're absolutely the worst, if your hand is even slightly moist (which happens if there's even 60%+ humidity in the air) it makes it a huge pain in the ass to control the touchpad. And this is isn't just smooth, it's a glossy almost glass-like surface. Ugh, I just cringe thinking about using it.]]>Mar 31st 2010 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/Mar 31st 2010 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/Mar 31st 2010 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/Mar 31st 2010 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/Mar 31st 2010 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/Mar 31st 2010 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/Mar 31st 2010 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/Mar 31st 2010 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9xzhrPA6veI/SmA9QH6QdXI/AAAAAAAACB0/Udl0LMNtTn0/s400/wtf+is+this+shit+piccard.jpg]]>Apr 1st 2010 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/acer-aspire-ethos-8943g-and-timelinex-3820t-4820t-5820t-get-ha/
I remember that episode from STNG. It's where Picard "begs" for counselor Troy's mom back. He throws his dramatic play acting into high gear.
