so i was trying to put 7 on this mac. tried doing it through boot camp, and when it came time to install 7, it said it had to be ntfs. i deleted the boot camp partition because i figured it wouldnt affect the osx, and now its fucked. how do i put osx back on here? i would just keep 7 on here if i could figure out how to get the fucking backlit keyboard to work, but i guess thats too much to ask

i knew i shouldnt have gotten this fucking thing...

why the fuck would you want to install windows 7 on a mac?

hahahaha you buy a macbook pro and the first thing you do is install w7?

why DID you buy it? most of the appeal of macs is 64-bit stable OSX: it's ridiculously fast and efficient

the touchpad can do awesome things if you set it up from the apple menu (top left corner)

can set it up with touch-sensitive shortcuts, i.e. drag finger from centre->top left of mousepad = go to desktop

the apple key is your shortcut key to everything. apple-key + click on link = open in new tab. apple-key + R = refresh. it's all really obvious, but messing around and getting a grasp of the basics will make safari 10x quicker to use than firefox/ie/opera.

You might also be able to zoom the same way you do in iPod Touches and iPhones, depending on the model of your laptop.

ugh i hate osx. i used it for a year, and i just hate how everything feels, and how i have to open the terminal for every little change i have to make. it's purely a subjective opinion, but i would put windows on a mac asap.

in the long run, the decision to allow windows on their hardware was a bad move. mark my words, apple will suffer and die because of it

...huh? Like what?

And lol. No. OS X is better than Windows... no one I know who uses a Mac prefers to run Windows on it.

... no one.
