“Even though a computer mouse rightly can be thought of as one of the more peripheral of peripherals, a new one just arrived that can honestly claim the adjective ‘transformative,'” Mark A. Kellner reports for The Washington Times. “Apple Inc.’s $69 Magic Mouse truly brings change this reviewer can believe in.”
MacDailyNews Take: Yeah, but can it make Oprah cry her eyelashes off?
Kellner continues, “Although it is a ‘normal’ computer mouse in the sense of being able to move the cursor around, its clicking, scrolling and “sweeping” actions make it more like the latest notebook touch pads than the older mice this new device has rendered obsolete.”
“The firm calls it ‘the world’s first Multi-Touch mouse’ and is including it with the new iMac computers, also introduced recently. The rest of us have to shell out the simoleons to buy one,” Kellner reports. “Believe me, it’s really, really worth it.”
“Scrolling is now supereasy and very fast: The software controls for the Magic Mouse let you control the scroll rate,” Kellner reports. “But it’s the very act of scrolling with the Magic Mouse that is, well, magical. Unlike using the scroll wheels on many (most?) of today’s mice, the simple move of gliding one’s fingers up and down the mouse feels more natural than I can describe in words. It just works better.”

@ The Obama Failure
You were saying?
I’ll repeat it again, since you wingnuts seem to love ignoring reality. The majority of Americans approve of Barack Obama’s job performance.

@kneugent
It was and it’s OK- now relax…
the foxnews suggestion won’t work in here… logic and facts just screw up all the arguments.
The Real Rob,
Cling to that for as long as you can.
@ The Obama Failure
Cling to that for as long as you can.
Cling to what? I’m just stating facts. As of this moment, most Americans approve of how Barack Obama is running this country. To say otherwise is to lie.
Could his average approval drop to 49 tomorrow? Sure. It could also increase to 51. Right now it’s not really that important. It’s his first year in office, and he’s at about the same level of support as his election percentage. He hasn’t had a chance to enact his agenda yet. We’ll see where his approval stands after health reform passes, after green energy legislation passes, after financial reform passes, and after his Afghanistan decision.
Still, one thing is for sure: he’s certainly a long way away from the horrendous 23% that Bush ended at.
LOL! Take a look at that dive!

Anyone defending Obama today is a fool or hates America or both.
The Real Rob,
Obama’s already at 49% in Gallup poll. It’s all over the news (the real news, not MSNBC)..

You must have joined late.

The Real Rob,
Is that all you’ve got? I’ll stick with Gallup, thanks.
That would explain how they find it comical for a black woman to be emotional upon the historical election of the first black president.
Nah… I’m white and I’m not that ignorant. Must be some other explanation.
@ Sarah
Is that all you’ve got? I’ll stick with Gallup, thanks.
LOL. So you’re just going to cherry pick your favorite poll?
I’ll stick with the poll average, thanks. Which is above 50%, in case you were wondering.
The Magic Mouse rocks!!
@Mac Tony,

@DaDark,

@ iLuvMyMacs:
Excellent point.
Fox News…
If George Carlin were still alive, surely that would top his list of oxymorons.
