I've got my Leap doing what I bought it for: controlling iTunes when my hands are covered in hair dye. [1]

If I can get it to do more, awesome. But that's enough for now.

Then you got ripped off!

When it's at my desk, my laptop is connected to an external monitor and keyboard; it runs closed. Flutter is of no use to me.


Why does it run closed? It doesn't have to.


Short answer: I like it that way.

Long answer: When it's plugged into the external monitor/keyboard/wacom tablet/leap/etc, the laptop is on a shelf beneath the main desk surface. It's completely out of view when I'm standing there working. I've got a 24" monitor on an adjustable arm; I don't need a second screen. Or want one; if I have two screens next to each other I inevitably go crazy if they're not exactly the same color profile.
