Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" 1502
TheRaven64 writes "Hot on the heels of the announcement of x86 Macs, Apple announced a multi-button mouse, known as the Mighty Mouse. It appears that the entire surface is touch-sensitive, allowing the mouse to be programmed as a single-button, multi-button or scrolling device."

"Ok, right-click on that."
"Do what?"
"Right-click... you know click with the OTHER button - the one on the RIGHT"
"Huh??"
Of course... even that's a more enjoyable experience than habitually right-clicking with a Mac mouse, only to realize that my efforts are in vain and that I have to hunt down that pesky pretzel key and tie my hand in some sort of apple-command-shift knot just for one mouse click

"Right-click... you know click with the OTHER button - the one on the RIGHT"
"But there's only 1 button and a nipply-thing on this mouse"
"No there's a second button but it's hidden. It's the right button."
"A hidden button? Would anyone make a mouse and then HIDE one of the buttons?"
"Okay, you know what? Never mind. Just squeeze-click on that, instead."

Hmmm...
Faster = click and wait
Faster = control-key click
Slow = right click
How could I argue with that.

This receptacle would need to be refilled periodically, like a Hoover bag, but in reverse. However Apple could patent the formula and interface, so you only use "genuine Apple Mouse grime".
I see Upside Margin Potential!
