Output Mouse

    Actually, why not add a thermometer (thermal sensor) to the palm rest of the mouse. Maybe have it sense when a hand is on it and display the pointer only then, hiding the pointer otherwise?

    You can have it fast, accurate, or pretty. Pick any 2.

    We all (gasp!) have to step away from the computer now and then. If something demanded your attention, like a new email or IM, this mouse could display the specifics for you while using negligible power. This caller-id-like function could allow you to glance deskward and see the culprit's IM avatar or email address without even breaking the screensaver. It's a phone screen, why not use it like one?
