For those impatient MacBook owners who needed to show up their friends by being the first on the block to have a new notebook, you may have realized that the new trackpad is a little bit... well... dumb. Well have no fear, here it comes to save the day, that means that a Software Update is on its way. Well actually, it's here now.

Apple has just released the Trackpad fix for unrecognized clicks. The software update so kindly reads:

This firmware update addresses an issue where trackpad clicks may not be recognized on MacBook (Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (Late 2008) systems.

Since this is a firmware update, updating via Software Update will prompt you to follow simple download and launch instructions. If you are deathly afraid of the Software Update window, some of us are, you can download it directly from Apple's download site.  Once you have successfully updated your MacBook into a prime piece of tapping machinery, it's always nice to play around with it... tapa tapa tapa.
