Pop Quiz: When's the Best Time to Remove a Feature?

When's the best time to remove a feature? Answer: When no one notices. Below just about every radar, Apple removed the "help" button from the update/change to the iMac keyboard last year. (Hey, did we mention it was hardly noticed) If you have the new keyboard, and you're curious as to what you're missing, well, essentially in OS X, pressing the help button turns your icon into a question mark, then clicking on objects on screen makes - no, not helpful tips appear - a buzz sound.
Since the help button didn't do anything, we can't say we, or anyone else is sad to see it go...
