Mouse May be Replaced by "Nouse" 247
mteichrob writes "A Canadian inventor has designed a computer mouse steered by movements of the nose and eyelids. The invention, dubbed a "Nouse," is meant to help people with a disability use a computer.
I think this could also be quite useful for the average office lackey like me! As good as my ergonomic mouse/keyboard combo is, less body movement is still a better replacement."

I'd also be curious to see how it would affect twitch gaming where quick reflexes with a mouse are paramount.

Oh, and the Nouse has already been covered on Slashdot [slashdot.org]. Come on, a simple Slashdot search of "nouse" turns this one up.

There are only drivers available for Windows, so this shouldn't cause any undue inconvenience.

That'll also make it more fun when Windows crashes, because I'll have something more cuddly/furry to bang on instead of the keyboard.

Issue: The system appears to crash often Solution: This is not really an issue this is due to the auto memory clean which is designed to fix the memory leaks in Windows and the applications and force the user to reboot once a day
Issue: No I mean *really* often
Solution: This is due to a small problem with the Nouse drivers. The problem is due to Nouse inc. and is not by MS, though we wrote and certified the drivers. The OS accidently thnks that the eye blink to be Crt+Alt+Del. The original intention was Crtl+Alt+Del = left eye half blink, right eye full blink and simultaneous nose left twitch. However a simple fix is available , download this 1GB patch and do not blink your eyes. NO you can not blink you eyes when u run Windows, we mentioned that in the EULA didnt we ?
