Quick tip: Mac laptops inverted display for outdoor uses

I was at a great meeting yesterday (I'll tell you more about this in a few weeks) taking notes on my old iBook and I shared this tip with one friend who has a MacBook. It's one of the nice things with MacOS X: there's plenty of small useful features that makes you much more efficient. In this case, the tip in question is for using your Mac laptop in outdoor conditions (i.e. when there's sun on your display): simply try command-option-control-8 and the display colors will be inverted, allowing much easier reading in outdoor conditions. This works with any mac.

usually, i tend to avoid the macintosh technologies, for this very reason: the phrase "open-apple" makes me cringe everytime i hear it.

it's people like mark guzidal that want to see a virtual mouse eyeball your mouse everywhere it goes, and reduce the options users have to control their environments. he is akin to alexander hamilton's nonsense federalist papers.
