"The Synaptics TouchPad is a capacitive sensing device that detects the
presence of your fingers and, up until now, has not responded with an eerie
whistling sound that many find aesthetically pleasing. This oversight has
finally been corrected."

(it'll make it so that moving upwards and sidewards on the touchpad makes the whistling sound change in pitch, quite amusing when you surprise your spouse with it!)

Interesting, I hadn't known about that! Sounds like the source of half of the special effects in 1950s science fiction.

Think Osmonds and 'Crazy Horses'

Move along, nothing to see.
