OK. Under the "What is claimed is:" section, we see:
16. The mouse as recited in claim 15 wherein the rotation of the rotary dial causes the displayed data to move across the viewing area of the display screen.
...
18. The mouse as recited in claim 17 wherein side to side manipulation of the disk corresponds to horizontal scrolling, and wherein forwards and backwards manipulation of the disk corresponds to vertical scrolling.
...so they want it to be both a rotary scroller and a 4-directional controller. Or at least they want to cover both in this patent.
Well, what's revealing is that the populace would believe that she'd said that. It tells us something about the time (widespread discontent) and her popular image that that anecdote would spread and be so popular, regardless of whether she actually said it.
And anyone who thinks that correcting the popular belief about her actions would have had an impact on how events actually undfolded is naive and grossly misunderstands history. That's getting things backwards.
That's funny, because he was a socialist. Thinking about his experiences caused him to change his mind, as intelligent people do. Animal Farm appeared in 1946, and 1984 appeared in 1949. In 1984, which you obviously haven't read, the totalitarian society has evolved from English Socialism.
Yeah, well, it's evolved from the sort of socialism that Orwell always had a problem with--the sort that quashed and discouraged independent thought (along with any truth that didn't fit with orthodox views).
His view that this socialism was dangerous--perhaps more dangerous than bald-faced fascism, even, though I wouldn't bet the farm on that--was a continuous presence in his mature (post-spanish-civil-war) thought. _His_ socialism was perfectly compatible with these views.
1) Amen again. The whole coolness of the borg really derived from that foreign nature and, well, all that. The Queen was pretty much _royally_ lame.
however,
1.5) (ok, three things) would you really want the Voyager Borg to have been as cool as the NextGen (series) Borg? Would that really be an acceptable state of affairs?
2) But the movie was still badass. Even while screwing over the "mythology", it was still next gen and an even numbered movie.

Next up...keyboards and mice powered entirely by Apple users' sense of self-satisfaction.
Mi piace molto (especially that bottom line):

Amen. Two things:
1) Amen again. The whole coolness of the borg really derived from that foreign nature and, well, all that. The Queen was pretty much _royally_ lame.

Jean-Luc! Shame on you for thinking such a thing!
