    When is Apple going to fix the glaring inconsistency of the fn key?

    Apple has a reputation for attention to detail, but I have no idea how this travesty made it through the design process unchanged. All of the other modifier keys (control, option, command) have the key's name at the bottom, and the icon on the top right. However, when the fn key was given the...
