November 25th, 2009 admin
Apple’s new 27-inch iMac is a speed demon, especially the model shipping with the new Core i7 processor. Even better, the latest iMacs ship with the new Magic Mouse, Apple’s first single-button mouse that gets it right thanks to the powers of multitouch. Wired.com’s Mike Calore is mesmerized with his Core i7-powered iMac. He gave it a rating of 8 out of 10: …

Hard to believe that’s what a computer mouse used to look like on the inside. I still remember having to scrape the accumulated lint off that ball with an X-acto knife so I could smoothly work my 72-dpi Photoshop renderings. The photo is part of Flickr user raneko’s excellent ” 25 Years of Apple Mouse Evolution ” series,...
Apple might have been the first to put a mouse and a commercially available computer together in one seamless package, but in its 25-year life, the Mac mouse hasn’t really improved. In fact, with its RSI-inducing, carpal-tunnel-worrying new Magic Mouse, it could be said that the current iteration is the worst yet. Above you see the two ends...
Apple may soon introduce a mouse featuring multitouch technology, like that seen in its iPhones, iPods and MacBook trackpads. Sporting a touch-sensitive housing, the new mouse will do away with the roller ball on the current Mighty Mouse (pictured above), sources told AppleInsider . The rumored multitouch mouse might apply the inertia feedback...
In a magic trick that only geeks can pull off, researchers at MIT have found a method to let users click and scroll exactly the same way they would with a computer mouse, without the device actually being there. Cup your palm, move it around on a table and a cursor on the screen hovers. Tap on the table like you would click a real mouse, and the...
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Friday published a trademark application for the term “Magic Trackpad,” which was filed earlier this week by Apple. The filing might allude to a rumored product we first heard about last year. As is often the case with trademark filings, the item described by the application is too broad to draw...
As the world goes crazy for touch-screen tablets and cellphones, the little mouse is getting left behind. But what of those who can’t even use Doug Engelbart’s most famous invention? What of those who can’t use their hands at all? They could try out the iPad at leg’s length, we guess, but that might necessitate an additional...
A Mickey Mouse toaster is a fun appliance to have no matter what your age. There are a variety of styles and colors from which to choose, all showing one of the most beloved cartoon characters of all times. One version of the Mickey Mouse toaster is called the Pop Art toaster.

Last of today’s Apple updates are the new 27-inch Cinema Display and a new 12-core Mac Pro. The display is essentially a super-sized version of the 24-inch monitor already available. Here’s what you get: The display hooks up to any Mac with a Mini DisplayPort connector, which is every late-vintage model. The cable combines a power-cable...
One of my favorite childhood stories was based on Aesop’s fable, The City Mouse and the Country Mouse . I always had a hard time deciding if I wanted to live in the fast-paced city or a laid-back little country town when I grew up. While the city ’s culture and endless entertainment is hard to resist, I can also see myself crocheting...
