Review of Apple's "Mighty Mouse"
hanser writes "Ars Technica is running an in-depth review of the new Apple "Mighty Mouse." From the review: "As it turns out, Apple blew the description of its "aural feedback" and "touch sensitivity" out of proportion and led most of us to believe that 1) there was some sort of speaker built into the mouse with synthetic mouse sounds coming out of it, and 2) the shell might be solid-state touch-sensitive like our beloved iPod wheels.""
Fix the fucking comment moderation. Some of us paid money for this shit, and your service blows goats.
Is there something wrong with the moderation? There are hardly any +3 or higher comments on most of the stories in the past day.
I was hoping to rub the Mighty Mouse in my crotch and have the touch-sensitive pad realize it and then the speaker would moan, "oooh baby." But I guess it isn't meant to be. I'll have to continue using a cheese grater until something better comes out, maybe I can paint it white.
Could someone perhaps fix it?
Seriously, do we really need further discussions of this topic?
So Apple released a mouse that imho looks pretty stylish and tries to introduce some new concepts.
Fine and interesting, but I really fail to see why no 24 hours after a story about the new mouse, that generated more than 1400 comments (for a mouse people...), we need the next story about this very mouse.
Well, if anything this shows that
a) a lot of us here should really get a life if we get all worked up about a mouse
b) Apple really are marketing geniuses.
Btw., this really reminds me off:

Dupe...and 12 minutes before the next article was posted.
Dupe of what?
The last article (as linked in this one's summary, BTW!) was an announcement. This is a review.

Yeah, this may be few-to-no girls slashdot and all, but the reviewer's called Jacqui.
Jacqui sounds like a hairdresser's name. No offense intended, but it does.
I bet she went to the careers officer at school, and he started rifling through her notes.
"Hmm.... it says here you've got straight A*s in Maths, Physics, English, Russian, Serbo-Croat, Computing and Woodworking. And that you're a major pop star in Eastern Europe and have built your own 4-qbit quantum computer at home using parts from a recovered Apple II computer.
Looks like you have the world ahead of you, uh....."
(Checks front of file for the girl's name)
"'Jacqueline'?! Well, that solves all our problems; you're going to be a hairdresser.... no, stop complaining. It's the law anyway. I'll arrange for you to leave school tommorow and start working in the 'Curlz-n'-Sizzers' salon just up the road.... no, I *don't* care if you're 8 years old. You're a Jacqui, and there's no point staying in school when you could be out hairdressing."

Dude, calm down. He was joking. I admit I can be an apple fanboy sometimes, but my god enough with the "macs have had right click for the last decade!!11" comments. Yes, everyone knows. No, no one cares and trolls will still troll. The machines still come with one button mice. Honestly, the poster was being a troll, don't feed him.
You know I saw this and was like "I caught my first dupe ever." I read /. often enough, but I have never actually seen (w/o someone pointing it out) an article that was a dupe of another article I read.
:( Oh well. Anyhow, how many times do we have to talk about this thing?
I was so excited, and then CmdrTaco let me down
I mod down so you can mod up. Your welcome.
