Some tweaks to yesterday's layout

One: I think leave the USBs to one side (the right side) of the laptop and put the power and headphone/mic jack to the other side. I thought of this because if i'm listening to music while navigating with a mouse it would be extremely annoying to accidently knock out the mic.

Two: Power and lock button should really be one button, a power (reboot) button which behaves similarly to the power button on an iphone. Press and hold to shut down. Press to start up. Press to put into sleep mode.
My original idea for a lock button was to prevent accidental touch interactions, but I think it defeats the purpose of a good interactive design, a design which knows when you mean a gesture and when one is unintended.
