Rather than blatantly demoting it, Apple has apparently chosen to snub the Caps Lock key on its newest metallic keyboards ever so quietly. Judging by a video taken by Jonathan Rentzsch, the wired version of the new ‘board seems to have a built-in resistance to activating the Caps Lock key. To demonstrate, he quickly tapped the key three times in succession — mimicking “accidental presses” — only to find that the device refused to acknowledge his actions. Then, he mashed and held it for a tick, and magically the button was lit. As if that weren’t enough, it also appeared that the button would deactivate with one of those “lightning quick presses” that wouldn’t turn it on, further substantiating the conspiracy. We know this is a polarizing issue, so make sure it doesn’t get too heated in comments, okay?

• Work well with my Mac
• Allow me access when I am on the road (away from home) to add new torrents, see status, etc.
• Work with my Airport Extreme with a HD attached.
• Play nice with my Apple TV (how I watch most files I dl). Can also be used with a 360 if the ATV is a make or break.
• Expandable via drive bays or USB 2.0.
• Not be a power pig.
• Price is not really a major object, but of course good value is preferred.
• Must be quick and easy to add and delete torrents, as I don’t have a lot of time to muck around.

What do you or the other readers suggest?”

Would you like fries with that Tony? But seriously, anybody got any pearls of wisdom and / or reality checks for Mr. Optimistic? He might just have to get crafty on his own with a little bit of Automator or perhaps the BitTorrent SDK itself, but perhaps we can get him halfway there. Oh, and it goes without saying that Tony’s just looking to download the latest and greatest media released under a CC license for his free consumption, yes?
