Apple Magic Trackpad is a peripheral device designed and produced by Apple Inc. It is used as an input device for Macintosh computers. The trackpad is black in color and features a sleek, ergonomic design. The Apple Magic Trackpad uses multi-touch gestures to control and navigate the computer. It supports a wide range of gestures, including swiping, pinching, and scrolling. These gestures can be used to perform various tasks, such as switching between applications, zooming in and out, and navigating web pages.
I'm Jefklak , a high-level Retro Gamer, and I love the sight of experience points on old and forgotten hardware. I sometimes convince others to join in on the nostalgic grind. Read more about The Codex here.
Now, it really feels like a curse, and I d rather go back to play a relaxed session of Golf Story or any other Mario-based golf game for that matter. Managers generally want to know if there are problems with new hires that they aren t seeing especially in a situation where you re working closely with the new person and they aren t.
These gestures can be used to perform various tasks, such as switching between applications, zooming in and out, and navigating web pages. The trackpad is wireless and connects to the computer via Bluetooth technology. This allows for freedom of movement and eliminates the need for a physical connection.
Ask a Manager
I am very happy to be starting 2021 with a letter about witchcraft.
A reader writes:
I am an employee at a gas station. We have been hiring new people to fill a few positions, and I have been asked to train our new members of the team. When I was training one of my new coworkers earlier this week, she said some things that I found very concerning. She is openly very spiritual and told me that at her last job, her manager was “jealous of her spirit” and that she decided to perform a spell on her, and after the spell was “cast” her manager came in limping a few days later. She then said, “She’s lucky I stopped because she might have ended up with a broken foot” and “I don’t mean to intentionally hurt people but sometimes you have to take things into your own hands.”
From my perspective, this is openly admitting that she has tried to threaten someone, maybe not at this establishment but at another job. She also spent most of the shift describing disturbing sacrifice rituals that she believes the “elite” practice and while also suggesting there are spirits or parasites among the customers.
Some of the stories about her previous work history don’t entirely add up, and she let me know that she’s been in and out of jobs for the last few months. Something is very off about her behavior. She comes off as very articulate, but I feel I’m seeing signs that she’s emotionally unstable.
I have yet to bring the situation up with my manager. I am only 21 and in college, just trying to work and go to school. I have never come across a situation where I physically feel uncomfortable and not safe at work. If you have any advice, that would be much appreciated.
It’s been seven years since I last addressed magical curses on this site, so I am glad to be able to do it again.
You’re right that it’s not cool to threaten to harm other people, even if said harm is through curses or spells. It doesn’t matter if listeners take the idea of witchcraft seriously or not; the crux of the issue is that your coworker says that she tried to inflict harm on someone she worked with.
I mean, I couldn’t beat up Mike Tyson, but it wouldn’t be okay for me to hang around outside his house making threats to punch him in the face anyway. The threat itself might be laughable, but the hostile intention behind it — the desire to harm — is not.
In your shoes, I’d talk to your boss. Managers generally want to know if there are problems with new hires that they aren’t seeing — especially in a situation where you’re working closely with the new person and they aren’t. In fact, good managers are generally relying on staff members to speak up when they see problems with new employees — whether it’s “Jane needs more training” or “Gavin is rude to customers” or “Craig keeps telling off-color jokes” or “I don’t feel safe around Clarissa.”
When you talk to your boss, you could say it this way: “I’ve been training Clarissa, and I’ve been really unsettled by some of the things she’s said. She told me she tried to harm a previous boss and thinks there are evil spirits among our customers, and she spends our shifts talking about ritual sacrifice. On top of that, what she’s told me about her previous work history doesn’t add up. I don’t feel safe working with her at this point so wanted to come to you.”
A good manager will take that seriously. If I were your boss and you told me this about a coworker in an office, I’d do a few things: I’d watch Clarissa much more closely, I’d talk with others who had been working with her to see if they similar concerns, and I’d speak with Clarissa directly. Because she’s making someone feel unsafe, I’d treat it with urgency — this isn’t “casually watch her for the next few weeks,” this is “within the next one to two days, figure out what’s going on and whether we need to part ways.” And if I knew you to be reliable and to have good judgment, I’d put a ton of weight on what you were telling me.
If I somehow concluded Clarissa could stay, I’d have a serious conversation with her about what is and isn’t okay at work, and I’d make it clear there couldn’t be any backlash against you for talking to me (and then I’d watch closely to make sure of that). But really, when you have to do that with a brand new hire, it’s generally better to just cut ties.
Some of that might look different in the context of a gas station, but a good boss should still be able to do something similar. If your boss doesn’t seem to be taking it seriously, you can also try asking not to be scheduled on shifts with Clarissa, repeating that you don’t feel safe around her — which might help reinforce that this isn’t about hexes, but about behavior that’s genuinely frightening.

Reviews for "The Future of Trackpad Technology: What's Next for the Apple Magic Trackpad in Black?"
- John Doe - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Apple magic trackpad black. First of all, it was uncomfortable to use for long periods of time. The surface is not as smooth as I expected, and my fingers would often get stuck or feel uncomfortable while using it. Secondly, the connection between the trackpad and my Mac was unreliable. There were times when it would disconnect randomly, which was frustrating. Overall, I don't think the Apple magic trackpad black lives up to the hype and I wouldn't recommend it.
- Jane Smith - 1 star - The Apple magic trackpad black was a complete waste of money for me. I found it to be extremely unresponsive, which made it difficult to navigate and use effectively. The gestures were hit or miss, and I often had to repeat them multiple times before the trackpad would register them. Additionally, the battery life was disappointing. I had to constantly recharge it, which was a hassle. I ended up returning the trackpad and getting a different brand that worked much better. I would not recommend the Apple magic trackpad black.
- Michael Johnson - 2 stars - I have been using the Apple magic trackpad black for a few weeks now, and I have to say I'm not impressed. The build quality feels cheap and the trackpad itself doesn't feel very sturdy. It also doesn't offer much in terms of customization or options for different gestures and settings. The scrolling is not as smooth as I would like, and there is a noticeable lag when using it. Overall, I had higher expectations for the Apple magic trackpad black and I'm disappointed with the performance. I would not recommend it.
