Is Horse the New Mouse?
lopati writes "Europhysics News writes about a new ergonomical mouse called Horse (jpeg) that reduces repetitive stress injuries by allowing 'the three middle fingers to adopt a flexed position to relax the tendons' and including a thumb scrool [sic:] wheel. Just a few simple changes for so much more comfort!"
This is something I've known for a long time, when I put my three middle fingers into my horse it relaxes me a lot too, let alone the horse. Including a thumb every once in a while is a simple change that gives so much more comfort.
WikiAfterDark.com It's a sex wiki, go now!
I'd complain about the slashdot effect here, too, but that would be a bit like beating a dead horse.
If you think I'm clicking a link to "Horse.jpg"...
I am trolling
...would it be beating a dead horse? I'm here all week, ladies and gentlemen. Don't forget to tip the wait staff.
Kids these days. They don't know the difference between classic, and just plain old.
That's not a horse, its just a fat mouse. Maybe a pony at the most...
Be better in bed. Wikiafterdark!
Ha ha, now stop horsing around.
Of course, of course.. unless, of course it's a mouse; in which case it's actually neither.
There's a Starman, waiting in the sky / He'd like to come and meet us, but he hasn't got the time.
Man, I feel like we're beating a dead horse... ba-dum-chhh
Holy lack of paragraphs, Batman!
Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me
The world is full of right handed biased designers! Evil! Where's my left handed version? Don't you people know that your biased right hand designs make only a few of us left? (pun intended).
No kidding.
"Is Horse the New Mouse?"
"Is Apple the New Microsoft?"
"Is Pink the New Black?"
The answer is "no, dumbass... STFU" in all cases.
Slashdot might need to change their slogan soon:
News for Nerds. Stuff that matters. Really fucking stupid questions.
I use a drawing tablet..
Man i can OWN you on Unreal Tournament!! Take that!!! *scribble* *erase*
Why not a special version for Slashdot moderators which allows just the one middle finger to be used for moderation?
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
horsies?
Having your hand contorted over something that size seems like it'd probably be a little painful at best.
:)
My wife doesn't have that problem
Ba-doom-chh...
Seriously, if you like this mouse you should check this out.
"The Borba"
So when will Apple come out with their 1-button horse?
I can see the reasoning behind it. Normally you have to work ( a small amount) to keep your fingers extended so you aren't constantly pressing the buttons. A regular mouse serves to keep me awake.. When I nod off, my fingers relax and I click, and the noise usually brings me back. With this horse, that wouldn't be a problem.
That's an urban myth! I never went blind, and my palms aren't hairy either!
someone had to say it didnt they?
120 chars is not bloody enough for a real sig!!! you bastards even count spaces!!!
That's not a horse, its a DUCK!
Huh?

Hey mapmaker!! We're over here!
