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.""

Well...

A Mac that uses a mouse that has more than one button would be a good start.

Boy are you thick. Again, based on the drivers that come with the mouse. Show me a review where the mouse is used with drivers that can even recognize a two-button chord.

The stupid Grandma defense

If multibutton mice are so confusiong, the hordes of Mac using grandmas must be dying en masse of heart attack from looking at the keyboard with over a hundred keys, many with utterly confusing labels like "ctrl", "f1" or a picture of a pretzel. For the well being of Mac using grandmas everywhere I propose Apple should not ship keyboards with any of their computers. After all, all the keys are in the on-screen keyboards anyway and pro-users can always choose to buy their own keyboards. This has the additional advantage of forcing developers to write apps without assuming the presence of a keyboard, leading obviously to a much better interface than Windows PCs which often won't even boot without a keyboard.

Wow..

Yeah, you know even less about xev than the author of that article. No mention about trying to test chording, nothing about the "status" given, just mentioning "button 1" event. Ignorant == you. Stop trolling, you little twerp.
