This makes some of our quirkier and habitual typing gestures still work despite the fact that the user is technically typing onto nothing. Try it out yourself.</p> <p>I had no idea this existed, but this great find from <a href="http://ios.finerthingsin.com/post/16982049392/ipad-keyboard-phantom-buttons">Finer Things</a> has made the rounds on the web and does a great job of emphasizing how Apple pays attention to even the littlest things in their quest to protect the user from their own error and frustration.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/raKJc94odggF43pArPCR5lrcGtM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/raKJc94odggF43pArPCR5lrcGtM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/raKJc94odggF43pArPCR5lrcGtM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/raKJc94odggF43pArPCR5lrcGtM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=qskdV8YxkuY:vHC4Kc5qBDg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=qskdV8YxkuY:vHC4Kc5qBDg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=qskdV8YxkuY:vHC4Kc5qBDg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=qskdV8YxkuY:vHC4Kc5qBDg:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=qskdV8YxkuY:vHC4Kc5qBDg:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=qskdV8YxkuY:vHC4Kc5qBDg:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=qskdV8YxkuY:vHC4Kc5qBDg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/qskdV8YxkuY" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
