    Trackpad Coating

    Since it is apparently glass (even though it does not look it, I do not know how), is there any coating such as oleobphobic coating on the TrackPad that might wear away with time? Do you think a film should be used on it?

    My mouse pointer has been jumping around.

    My mouse pointer has been jumping around lately. What's going on with my MBP? Am I being hacked, or could it be my dying battery? My pointer has been jumping around, opening up short cut menu's, and just acting with a mind of its own. What is causing this erratic mouse behavior? How do I fix?
