We never had problems with our trackpad, so it's hard to tell if it makes everything better, but the dead plant left outside my window did magically come back to life. Okay, not really, it's still pretty dead. But my trackpad does still work okay. Let us know if it helps you out (or doesn't). Update: Even though our update went smoothly, we're hearing of people having issues with the update, so proceed with some caution. [Mac Rumors]

Whether it's a hardware or software issue hasn't been officially confirmed by Apple, but a supposed email response from Steve Jobs promises simply, "Software fix coming soon." This isn't the first time there have been trackpad issues with Apple notebooks, but we haven't had any problems with our new MacBooks or Pros. What about you guys? [AppleInsider]
