Microsoft Unveils A Designer Mouse
jeckil writes "Today Microsoft unveiled the new Starck mouse; a new shiny mouse designed to take the 'cool' from other mice such as Logitech or Apple. Microsoft is calling it the 'first museum-quality mouse.' Looks shiny enough to be on a museum display along with other succesful Microsoft products."
That Bob product cracks me up every time I see it. It's a wonder they ever succeeded with products like that one and marketing like this TV commercial.
Hey! I'm only 18, but I remember Microsoft BOB on my first computer.
I loved customizing my room and helping my mother get her living room set up so she could use the computer for her financial stuff.
Most people see BOB as a failure, but I've got nothing but fond memories of it.
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.
Works for me, FireFox 0.9.3. Maybe it's a JPEG library issue? I'm on Gentoo for what it's worth.
Apple mice are hardly cool...in fact they're a pain in the damn ass to use. If we're talking about the totally transparent ones which the whole top is a button unto itself, I wish for all of them to burn in hell.
Now logitech...that's a different story, they've always produced nice pointing devices.
You don't have to be for George Bush to realize Kerry is a socialist. However, your point are ridiculous.
1. The Patriot act may have a lot of problems, but saying is prevents you from speaking out against the govt. is stupid.
2. Health care plans are not run by the govt. If you don't like your health care plan, you can complain to your company or take a more expensive plan through them, or pay for your own health care insurance that lets you pick your doctor.
3. The US has hundreds of channels to watch. No one's forcing you to watch FOX.
4. Saying people don't own property in the US is just stupid. Even if the average person carries around debt doesn't mean he has no assets.
5. The govt. telling lies isn't special to any system. In the US we have a free press to catch George Bush in his lies.
Kerry is a socialist because, among other things, he believes in tax brackets to redistribute wealth and he believes in nationalizing health care, and he believes in govt.
You should take a class in logic. You don't seem to understand the first principles. If someone says Kerry is a communist, that doesn't mean they like Bush btter. Also, poor attempts to compare Bush to what communists have done doesn't make sense because you're not showing cause-effect.

The logitech mx500 is *the* best mouse I've ever used. It's the only one that doesn't make my hand sore after awhile. My only complaint is I'd rather have a bigger scroll wheel than the hard to reach cruise control scroll buttons.

minus the healthcare part, so does george bush. so does alan greenspan. shit, so does steve forbes. i mean, really, what's your point? that kerry believes in higher taxes to pay for more infrastructure and that makes him a socialist? i always thought that had something to do with redistributing the means of production.
you live in a highly regulated economy, whether you like it or not. furthering some laissez-faire pipe dream by calling the candidate who supports higher taxes a "socialist" is sheer delusion.
ps. burn, karma, burn!
