I have a painted (shiny) desk. Trying to use my optical mouse on this is impossible and results in it not moving anywhere.
I am looking for a nice big (A4 size roughly) flat black good quality mat with no extras like wrist rests or calculators or LEDs, but can't find any anywhere (in the UK that is).
This is an amazing technique and has served me well hundreds of times. Just remember to put the lyric quote on speech marks and then lyrics outside of it. Put any other distinct words outside of the speech marks as well (not things like the, and etc).
If you can't find it then remove the speech marks and remove common words until it is very distinct.
Good luck, and it is free too!!

I want to know how the Evening Standard know about it, without Apple releasing a press release. And if Apple have released a press release, then why isn't it listed on their site?
Maybe someone at the Evening Standard is a/. regular and just nicked it from the earlier story.
Many thanks for linking the word Microsoft to microsoft.com in that article. I found it really useful to find out more about that unheard of company that call themselves Microsoft.
FREEZE! HANDS UP! This is the BSA! We know you have illegal routers that you bought 100% legally. We are coming in, and want everyone to lie flat on the ground away from the routers. Comply and no one gets hurt (well financially everybody except us gets hurt).
Surely this is only a storm in a tea cup. For large companies who require the support contracts, they will not usually buy equipment on eBay, but through their corporate supplier. For smaller companies who would buy hardware second hand, they are the kind who can make do without supports contracts, and happily live in a legal "grey area". Although it is morally stingy on the company's part, I don't think it will do too much to normal people, who will just use it "illegally".
Wow! This has so much potential! The soldiers could install CS or UT2003 on their HUDs, and then play with other soldiers over the net who are githing in different battles, or just training at HQ - ultimate VR!!!!
They could then pretend to kill people on the game, whilst killing people in real life!
I guess that each soldier will have his own IP address, but will they be publically addressable, or just 192.168.xxx.xxx ones or the like..... If they are, then there will be one heluva NAT to let them access the internet for data (and porn) purposes. On the other hand, imagine if a script kiddie got hold of a soldier's IP and began DDOSing him, and making him unable to report back, or sending him bogus information that could kill him.
Maybe this will be the killer app for IPv6 for the DOD...

Just for the lazy people who can't be bothered to check, on Amazon.com right now, the 20gb Neuros is the same price as the 15gb iPod - $380.
This means 5gb more for your money with the Neuros - you decide.
This will now open up the oppurtunity to secretly place an AIBO in the cupboard of an unsuspecting victim, and then, in the dead of night, get it to creep around taking pictures of the occupants.;)
MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sounds like Dr Evil is now working for Sony - watch out Austin Powers!!!!

Could someone explain the concept of 4d shapes and crosswords to me in simple terminology. Thank you :)
It is a completely white desk, so it could be that it is the lack of a pattern that causes the probs.

The mouse is a MS Wheelmouse Optical (very good IMO), I think I will try the Ratpadz GS - it looks amazing
Thanks for the help everyone.

Here is the BBC's take on the same story.
The technology for this was shown off months ago - I saw the story. I am glad it is finally being released to the public.

Are PS2s more cost effective than other competitors? eg cheap x86 linux boxes.
Surely Walmart PCs must give more bang for the buck, but are PS2s going to be more stable? What do you guys think??
