    ... but most people do actually have a desk; it's what they put their monitor on!

    I don't know about this. I can see my arm getting pretty tired after a while (LOTS of hours) of swinging and pointing with the mouse.
    That's the advantage of a desk mouse, you can rest your arm.

    Then again, lots of geeks wouldn't find this a problem due to the extensive use of their right arm, what's a little more going to do? :p

    Silly man, those where "pucks". Entirely different. See, these are MICE.

    Differences include what order they occur in alphabetically and number of letters.

    His last line suggests this for college students to surf the internet while in bed.

    Wonder what kind of sites his bedtime surfing frequents?

    Combine this with the one-handed keyboard and a pocket-sized computer, and you can look like a complete moron walking down the street!

    Good thing it works without a surface. At that price, I couldn't afford a desk to set it on.
