I really hate Apple for popularizing reversed scrolling on touchpads. It doesn't make any fucking sense.

    Like when you scroll down it goes up ? It makes total sense to me

    It does absolutely make sense for touchscreens, but it doesn't make sense for a touchpad because you're not actually directly touching the content.

    Nah, makes perfect sense to me.

    I dont`t really get what`s your problem. You can change it in Settings

    It makes sense, a touchpad is a pad that simulates touching the screen. If you don't like just change it, but it isn't wrong.

    I mostly hate it because now, both options exist and are widely represented. I have my computers in the old fashion, a lot of friends too, but sometimes I'll use someone's computer and get confused because they have it opposite to mine

    I don't use the touchpad and the touchscreen. Mouse and keyboard ftw!

    I see it as you're pushing the content on screen upwards or pulling it down. Personally I prefer that when using a touchpad.

    @Tekon Yes, imo, you scroll with a touchpad much like a mousewheel.

    I hated it when I first used a Mac but now I find it much nicer and have 'Australian scroll's enabled on my Chromebook and Windows laptops.

    The content move using up when you move your fingers up, just as the pointer moves up when you move your finger up

    Makes sense for touch screen and touch pad.
    Quite a different story when talking about mouse wheel.

    Touchpad? What is that?
    Some people also talk about a thing called "mouse"..

    That's so weird to me..

    Keyboards for live:)

    At least when betterSnapTool is installed on OS X.
