    I you had seen the board CNN used during the election, you would have seen how easy it worked and why, in this particular case, using a mouse would have slowed things down. Here's a picture of the board in question.

    Reaching to touch something is much more accurate than trying to guide a mouse pointer to a particular spot, especially, as in this case, the board was right in front of you. The presenter can concentrate on the subject matter rather than having to look down, find the mouse, either look up at the screen or down at a smaller screen, drag the mouse to the location and click. By using the board, the user simply reaches out and touches the spot, no wasted movement, no delays, his train of thought continues uninterrupted.

    I'm not saying this would work in every situation but it is highly suitable for presentations. Granted, the software behind this board needs to work every time but based on the granularity of the voting blocks that CNN was able to show, it seems to be able to be configured for just about anything.

    This is one time where new and shiny beats out old and dull.

    Yes, even though Ghost Dad is one of Bill Cosby's finest works (sure, it's no Leonard Part 6, but hey), it's about a paranormal scientist, not a paranormal IT geek. I see where you're confused. He did whore out Texas Instruments TI 99/4A but it lost out to the Commodore Vic-20.

  7. I bought one! by MBCook · · Score: 2, Informative · on MacBook Pro Gets Santa Rosa Chipset, LED Screen

    I've got an early '05 Powerbook G4 (first-gen HD motion sensors represent!). It's a great little thing but as I do more photo editing and such I'm starting to feel it's lack of power. I've used Intel Macs with C2Ds and they are very nice. I decided that during the next refresh I would purchase one.

    So when I checked the Apple store yesterday and saw it was down, I was thrilled. I had been expecting it (I follow rumors sites and Apple Insider had some detailed possible specs on Monday). When I got to work the store was back up and I ordered one immediately.

    It's about time that Apple put 2 gigs in the MacBook Pros by default.

    It's expected to come as soon as Friday, and I can't wait. Geek Sugar has pictures of the new one, and they that the display is noticeably brighter, despite the fact it's not supposed to be (according to Apple, there is a mini-interview on Gizmodo).

    I can't wait!

    Now I just need Leopard...
