I think you'll agree that the mouse pad plugging into the USB port & sporting a wire would be better than the mouse having the wire.
Wouldn't need to place a mouse in a charger either, just leave it sit on the pad.
But, as an earlier replier already pointed out, there's an alternative.
Here's a few things I'd like to apply this stuff too.
1) Wireless mouse pad
2) Magnetic track-type lighting
3) Stove top -- Pots/pans/ect would have their own unique heating elements & the entire stove top would be usable
I'm sure there's plenty of practical applications for somthing like that plastic power...
4) Power strips with 100% usable surface area. ... power strip stuff.
1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.
All the roads in my area are Augusta Block.
2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.
Great, I don't drive on the freeway so my car dying on it would give the police time to catch whoever stole it.
3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too.
Great way to make sure the engine compartment stays clean.
4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT" Group Licence. But, then you would have to buy more seats..
Ass, gas, or grass, nobody rides for free.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was much more reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive - but would only run on 10 percent of the roads.
So you can't drive the Mac Car at night, would get 5 times as many speeding tickets & would ultimately loose your liscense when showing off how easily you can slide into a parallel parking space sideways.
Yep, that's reliable, thank god it's only on 10% of the roads.
6. The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make their cars run much slower.
What do you expect when you become a switchout ?
7. The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.
That's fine, I have no friggin clue what any of thoose lights mean anyway.
8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.
I don't know about anyone else, but I have no problem with everyone having a butt like Angelina Jolies'
9. The airbag system would say "are you sure?" before going off.
Are they going to password it, or reuse the key based on-off switch found in many cars today ?
10. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.
If you know what happened when involved in a crash, you're more than likely at fault.
11. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft (tm) Gas.
Only a matter of time untill someone finds and unlocks the tank that Microsoft built in.
This attribute is too generic, it's going to lead to people wondering, "Well, why is this Not Safe For Work ?"
I propose adding a range of attributes.
1) rel="goatse"
2) rel="midget porn"
3) rel="donkey show"
That way, not only do I know that it's not safe for work, but I can forget about sending a bookmark to my personal email address for when I get home, unless it's midget porn, in which case I'll make an exception.
Using theese non-generic attributes would also be good for the employer during christmas time.
Rather than giving generic bonus checks, they could monitor each employees NSFW toggling & personalize each employees bonus.
You didn't know ?
Spam has been using the advanced system that Microsoft is going to claim to have invented for years. Viagra, lotteries, & Canadian Drugs really are what we all need.
1) Someone at Apple will check themselves into rehab for a cocaine addiction.
2) Someone at Apple will comment on what Martha Stuart did with the prison during her time there.
3) Someone at Apple will come forward & admit that the majority of their iTunes traffic is pirates trying to crack passwords.
4) Someone at Apple will confess to the world they are gay & announce their love for Ellen Degeneres.
5) Someone at Apple will write a book about their life as an Apple employee that will get close to making the best sellers list.
All in all, a pretty average year for a Superstar Mega Company.
The new system will use more high-speed driving, partly in 20-degree cold. Air conditioning will be on some portion of each driving cycle, and there will be more stop-and-go and rapid-acceleration driving.
Right, because I always turn my air conditioner on when it's friggin 20-degrees outside, you know, I really wish it would warm up here in Florida, theese 20-degree nights are brutal.
I'm glad to see they're taking driving like a madman into consideration too, at least I know I can pay for my reckless driving ticket with all the money I save on gas.
I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for "the call".
Yeah joe ?
Uhhh, I registered for a Web OS, you know so I don't have to use Windows, then I deleted Windows, how do I get my new Web OS to connect to the internet ?
It works by a signal being sent to the child's phone, which then responds by sending back its current location using GPS.
That sounds about as effective as just calling the kid & asking them where they are.
What's to stop them from replacing a GPS engine with a scriptable responder ? There's alot of kids out there that understand Java & even more than understand the idea of timelines & scripting.

Man, it's starting to look like this stuff is good for nothing more than fancy track lighting & power strips with plugs that come loose all the time.

I case of emergency, break glass, standard procedure.
We're all taking one last vacation.
Then it's back ti eating thoose little weiners in a can.
Damn you're sexy, you have parasites don't you ?
And would you look at that, she's holding your dads wallet.
Well, if we take them with a grain of sand, I estimate only a few million more before we have enough.
Yep, they've seriously underestimated the needed capacity for the International Space Station.
Ok, imagine 11,000 of thoose fields the Jocks chased you across trying to give you a wedgie.
Is that better ?
Of course Apple cleared Jobs of any wrong doing, who else is going to bail their ases out ?

haha !
No, seriously, they're joking right ?
That sounds kinda like an atomic bomb, why doesn't this stuff explode ?

Moral of the story: If you're dumb enough to believe that deer is real, you don't need to be wandering the streets.
You're thinking of "huevos", which is actually translated to "eggs".
"Testículos" is testicles.
So, "Don't put all your WebOS in one basket" would have worked better.
Probably not, thoose elves weren't affirmative action hires you know.
A few years ago I went to jail for fighting on Christmas Eve, my boss at the time bailed me out & took me to the titty bar on Christmas Day.
Nothing like going to the titty bar to get you into the spirit of Christmas, soo much giving.
I stopped on that paragraph after wondering if there was a North & South Tehran, AKA X=N|S.
Wish I had some mod points, you've made some good points there.
That sounds about as effective as just calling the kid & asking them where they are.
