Sure is ugly on thee inside.

"We like to joke that the inside of our mice is more beautiful than the outside of our competitors."

I think it looks nice for being the INSIDE of a mouse, my old mouse was ugly inside, y new one i avnt seen yet but it's glowie blue on the outside:) SunbeamTech BlueFlame

Wow, that looks like it is worth more than 50 bucks to me.

It's a mouse people.
It's just a fricking mouse already.
IT'S ONLY A &^%*( MOUSE!

Are we so ashamed that we don't even have 3.0GHz machines that all we can do is make a big deal about a stupid mouse?

Tomorrow we get to see the all new Apple A/C Adapter!

Next it's the all new Apple USB THUMB DRIVE!

*&&^*&^*&^&(&^%% mouse.

forget the mouse, get the apple iMIND!! the computer control chip installed in your brain. Watch as the mouse moves around the screen with no physical input! watch applications open like magic!! AND get it installed for free by a MAC GENIUS at any local apple store!!! WOOOO

The most important question is: will BT and batteries fit?

I love the "it's just a mouse people" comments..

dude.. this was a headline on MSNBC (arguably, not a real network, but hey)..

who's fault is that?

is it Bill Gates desperately trying to promote the thing? no.

people love reading about apple because they do things that are interesting. stop acting so surprised.

Big deal. Any mouse will work w OS X. But this is the first by apple, and you have to admit, it is different than any other multi-button mouse.

in a few days.. it will quiet down

Thelonious, don't worry the 3.0 Ghz argument will be moot by next year. So people can stop whining!
Now two less excuses to not to own a mac, people can shove their multi button mouse and the 3 Ghz arguments and shove 'em up their arses!

MW: means as in This means shut the f*ck up with idiotic arguments!

Yes, Lonious, along with making false claims that Vista was copied using OS X as a template...why dont you thow up your food (opinion) on people using linux, or, something..

Really bothers you, doesn't it, Thelonious...

Here is my single step solution to your on-going frustration:

(1) If the article mentions a mouse, DON'T CLICK ON IT.

Yes, by following that quick and easy single step, you will prevent a sudden "health concern" from befalling you!

(I might add that the above Step will also work successfully with the forthcoming Apple A/C Adapter articles.)

You know, I think its funny how after years and years of Jobs spewing his benchmarks to the world on CPU power, He switches to Intel and says "Its soo much faster". God, you people really are dumber than you look.

mw = iCon (Steve Jobs)the greatest 51st act of our generation.

Yes, Maciontosh Defense Network is at it again!

Fine = A mac isnt like a fine Wine, or a Fine Automobile. Its more like a fine women, You get her, then she manipulates you and takes all of your money.

Whattsa matter, NMFY, did your regular hooker stop taking checks since the last one bounced? Such anger toward women!!

"Are we so ashamed that we don't even have 3.0GHz machines that all we can do is make a big deal about a stupid mouse?"

Thats the problem. Most of you guys have tied your sense of self respect so closely to your OS choice that you seemingly have to defend it all the time. Who gives a crap if there arent 3.0 Ghz G5's. While all you worry warts pine over the lack of something to give you bragging right over your PC buddies, the rest of us are using what we have now to do actual stuff.

OMG! They killed Mighty Mouse! = Kenny!

I find this perpetual type of scenario interesting - and by interesting, I mean IRRITATING.

Self-identified 'non-Zealot' Mac user: "You Zealots should use a two-button mouse!

SINZMA-named 'MacZealot': "Apple is concerned about the HIG, thus the one-button mouse."

Self-identified 'non-Zealot' Mac user: "You zealots are a closed-minded bigots, bent on hurting Apple."

SINZMA-named 'MacZealot': You can call me a 'Enemy of Apple' all you want. I am not. I want Apple to be Apple."

Apple: "Hey, we now have 'Mighty Mouse'".

Self-identified 'non-Zealot' Mac user: "I fscking told you so!"

SINZMA-named 'MacZealot': "Hooray, for Apple!"

Self-identified 'non-Zealot' Mac user: "Simmer down, it's only a frickin' mouse!"

SINZMA, perhaps, your Lithium dose is far too conservative. Check with your MD.

I think Apple did a wonderful job, they integrated more features into a one button mouse concept that's not intimidating to new users of computers.

The one button can be the default "out of the box" setup and no newbie will know any better.

However the ball button is soft, lose in the "hole", it loses traction, at least for me it did on the horizontal scrolls. I couldn't do "360º's" scrolls either.

We used have to clean dirty mouseballs and rollers before optical mice came along, so I don't know how this will fair. :(

I think a hard ball with some sort of optical or magnetic recognition would be better. This way a lot of grime buildup can be eliminated from getting into the "works" by a tight seal between the ball and the innerds.

Nice idea, just a bit more tweaking though.

I guess that should read SINZMU, not SINZMA.

I did miss my Acronym 101 class last Monday!

It WAS a holiday.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The horror!.

I can't wait for mine to arrive on Friday -- I ordered it from Apple as soon as it was announced. Ever since I got used to two-finger scrolling with my PowerBook, the lack of any-direction scrolling on my scroll wheel mouse has been driving me nuts.
