Apple’s New Magic Mouse
October 21, 2009
The mighty mouse was a love-it-or-hate-it kinda mouse. I wasn’t too fussed on it myself, and have been using a Logitech trackball for the last few years to aid my RSI. But on Tuesday, something happened that might draw me back to a mouse… Apple released what looks to be a true Mighty Mouse (alas Apple lost the right to use that name and is now called Apple Mouse) in the form of a multi-touch, swipe scrollable, sexy looking Magic Mouse!
I want one, but I’m not going to be drawn in by the hype just yet – I’m gonna test one out…somewhere. Leeds doesn’t have an Apple Store, so whenever KRCS gets them in. They’d better hurry though!
UPDATE! Well, I did manage to have a play with Apple’s new Magic Mouse in both PCWorld and the Manchester’s Arndale Centre Apple store and… I don’t like it. Once again apple have proved that they really cannot make a good mouse. I found it ergonomically awkward and the whole thing moved when I swiped across it.
A lovely idea, but just the wrong size and shape to make it a usable mouse for me. Such a shame.
Why bother with web standards anyway?

I found this amusing. While I strive to adhere to web standards (as much is reasonably possible) I can’t help wondering why I bother when one of the most used websites on the web displays so many ‘errors’ it’s comical.
