[Mac] Where Apple has hidden my "home" and "end" keys?

I've purchased my first Mac a few weeks ago when I was in San Francisco. (actually I've had a Mac LC 20 years ago at home, but I was not allowed to touch it else my brother would have killed me :)

What a change my friend... especially for persons like me that use to spend more than 10 hours a day in front of their machine! and yes, if it was not already clear, I'm VERY happy with my new laptop.

Today, I'm interested to share with you where Apple has hidden the "Home" and "End" Keys...
At the beginning, it was kind of annoying for me to not be able to just hit a button to get to the end or beginning of a line while typing. Here is the solution:

HTML/DOM 5 Demo Apps

HTML 5 is the next major revision of HTML ("hypertext markup language").

HTML 5 was initially said to become a game-changer in Web application development, making obsolete such plug-in-based rich Internet application (RIA) technologies as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Sun JavaFX.

Based on my analysis and discussions with key players in the TV industry, this solution is not mature enough to really compete with RIA integrated development and operating frameworks such as Flash or JavaFX, at least not in the TV space.

You will say I'm not objective as I'm the PM of the JavaFX for TV product... and I will answer you that you could be right, but this is also what I hear from most of the players in my industry.

One of the partners I work with just sent me those HTML 5 demo applications:

BTW - this 9elements.com company seems to have terrific ideas in terms of UE/UI design.

Hi my Friends,

I really recommend the Yale University Business related courses available for free on iTunes. An amazing repository of knowledge that can make the difference...

To access the courses, one way is simply to type "Yale University" in your iTune "Search iTunes Store" search box (make sure you are using the US store).
Full path= Home >> iTune U >> Yale University

I especially recommend the following tracks:
~~> How to Write a Business Plan 40:58 Maureen Burke Yale Entrepreneurial Institute

BTW - this is a proof, those days, knowledge of quality is available from everywhere for free for a better world... The power to change your "destiny" by first-class education is in your hands... no excuse & no magic... invest in yourself & boost your personal bottom-line!
