    Does anyone know if you can disable the buttons on the left side of the laptop that control the DVD/CD player? I keep hittin them and the DVD player starts up.

    strange, they dont feel all that sensitive to me. besides, the way i type, my hands dont rest at the side of the keyboard. i find myself accidentally brushing the touchpad more, but there's a button on the right to turn it off...

    Why don't they act as normal media keys?

    I can only get them to go next/back, etc if I'm on the media player window.
