    Multi-finger gestures on the XPS 13 Ultrabook trackpad #xps13

    9 Apr 2012
    Since we announced it , there's been lots of interest in several of our XPS 13-related posts . Like Sam Burd mentioned in his recent post , we're commited to making the experience on the XPS 13 second to none. If you didn't read his post, we recently released updated trackpad drivers based on customers feedback. While that has gone well, I thought some customers may appreciate more details regarding the XPS 13 trackpad, and how multi-finger gestures work on it. Even if you're not an XPS 13 customer, it's worth noting that certain Dell notebooks in the future will offer multi-finger gestures. I think it makes sense to start with the trackpad settings.

    In-house law departments are usually viewed as a group of hidden attorneys who approve and reject contracts, or who provide training classes that use a lot of Latin and semi-colons. That’s entirely true, but here at Dell our legal team also devotes a good deal of time to promoting our core values of volunteerism (known in Legalese as pro bono because it’s Latin) and diversity. On Tuesday, April 3, I had the honor of presenting our 2012 Pro Bono Excellence Award to Baker Botts L.L.P...

    Last year, I read an article that stated there were now 2,500 new SaaS companies with an application portfolio growing at 5X of the pace of on-premise applications. While the popularity of SaaS applications and cloud has increased dramatically, and brought greater productivity to users, I believe there is a misperception that integration will be easier. Certainly the opportunities and efficiencies of cloud would cause IT to think this way, but there is a larger task ahead. I ran a Google search...
