Apple releases multi button mouse 21 years late


Apple came out with the Mac in 1984. It’s now 2005 and they’re releasing their first mouse with more than one button: The Mighty Mouse

Way to go Apple. You guys are freaking pioneers, really.

And in true Apple fashion they’ve priced it right in line with all the other mice out there at $49.00. Ok, I’m an Apple freak. But come on Apple, why would I pay $49 for an Apple mouse when I can pay $5-10 for the equivalent from some other company?

This image shows what is called the “put the screwdriver under the pinch-roller pin and pry it up so it pushes against the capstan hard enough to make the tape travel moderately at the correct speed” technique.

Only here can you get such precious and valuable information about the dying world of analog technology.

New macs may be coming out next week!

CNN has a story about some new mac minis and other gear supposedly coming out next week.

Another interesting point of note was that Apple’s sales were at 3.5 Billion (with a “B”) last quarter, up 75%. 75 freaking percent. Apple is learning something with the ipod and mini macs. This is good.
