Just a theory here: Maybe they want you to find and remove the plaintext data. That way you don't notice the watermarking that contains the encrypted form of the same information.
Has anyone verified if two DRM-free downloads of the same song by different people are otherwise identical after having been stripped of the plaintext identifiers?
Oops, sorry. I had seen a review of the Logitech BT mouse (don't know if it was the MX900 or a predecessor, if there was one). I don't think it got a very good write-up, and I haven't followed up on it or looked for other BT mice.
I bought one of these because of its extemely compact usb receiver. My older laptop's USB plug is recessed in the case so that most other wireless receivers would require an extension cable.
This one's small enough that it plugs right in. I'm half-tempted to try and see if I can fit it inside the laptop's case. (BTW, why don't laptop makers include wireless mouse capability? OK, so Bluetooth might count, if there are any good Bluetooth mice...)
Unfortunately, the mouse suffers from a lack of tactile feedback. It has a slightly audible "tick" when you're scrolling, but I really miss the physical "bump" of a real scroll wheel. Perhaps they could accomplish the same thing by adding some little ridges on the scroll surface?
A little center dimple, like you find on calculator and phone "5" keys would also help in positioning your scrolling finger.
It could also use a third button. Two just ain't enough!
This is good enough for a compact laptop mouse, but I'd wait until they refine it some for desktop use.
