On the Widespread Misuse of the Mouse

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the just-click-it-and-shut-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Recently launched blog "The New Interface Advocate," has an entry about how mice are being applied to situations they are intrinsically poorly suited for. It also has an interesting proposal for how to keep most of the current paradigm of GUIs and still take advantage of the other control devices, such as the keyboard."
