Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse"

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."

    Wow. You chose a perfect counter example. All those people that bought a new mac that only came with a one button mouse and use shake are SCREWED. "What? I have to go out and buy additional hardware?!"

    What about all those people that bought a mac mini? It doesn't come with a mouse at all.. I mean WTF? Is Apple whack?

    Of course, your reply completely ignored the point. Did you do that intentionally? You realize that shipping a one button mouse made thousands of third party developers create usable applications automatically? Oh no, you decide to reference a $3000 application that DOESN'T adhere to Apple design philosophy and feel a completely underserved sense of self-satisfaction: "See? SEE? Apple must be wrong!!" Jackass.
