There are a ton of gestures in OS X that are next to impossible to perform on a mouse

I don't get you. See, I know you played arena in WoW and so I know you own a mouse with more than 2 buttons and a scroll wheel. Why do you choose to ignore than you can do all of this with a mouse?

Okay, so there's a "magic mouse"... reading that, I don't really see what that could do, that my Naga (or any 5+ button mouse) wouldn't to be very honest with you.

And a trackpad? Eh.

Maybe if you were an artist who likes to draw things? Well, maybe. Otherwise? Again, programmable multi-button mice FTW.

Oh, and Wireless? On a Desktop?

Hahaha......no thanks.

I'll stick with wired. No batteries, no recharging, no worrying about the battery meter, etc.

Oh, and they want $69 for that "magic" mouse... my Naga (with a lot more options, especially for gaming) was only $75 -- $6 more for a superior mouse.

But I'll even break it down further.

on the Magic Mouse's webpage you linked above...

"Click" -- ....ANY mouse does this.

"Two Button Click" -- ... I have to set up the mouse so that it does what every other mouse does?

360* scroll -- My mouse already does that -- push the mousewheel down and you get a + symbol on the screen. Moving the mouse in any direction does exactly what this webpage says the "magic" mouse does.

Screen Zoom -- Quite sure I could set up that feature if I really wanted it, and I wouldn't have to hold a key on my keyboard to do it. With my Naga, I've got 14 buttons not counting the right/left click, heck, I could set those two buttons up next to the left mouse to zoom in, zoom out.

Two Finger Swipe -- Again, with 14 buttons on my Naga... wouldn't be hard to set this sort of thing up, if I'm really too lazy to click the "next" button.

So yeah, really not seeing the "magic" here.

So try again, Theo.

Who in god's name would get a track pad for their desktop?

Because you've only used a PC track pad, obviously you know how one interacts with a Mac, right?
My sisters' Macbooks have track pads. They're still pains in the *** to use for simple things, like moving the cursor over to where I want to click.

Give me a god dang mouse over a track pad anywhere feasible.

Even when mice are not feasible, I'd rather have a trackball than a trackpad.

Hence, why I have one hooked up to my laptop right now.

Blech, no, I hate trackballs.

I asked my friend (a mac fan) what she thought of the pads. She said she'd never use one on a desktop, but that she knows a bunch of people who absolutely love them. I don't get it.

Sure, I can understand the whole gestures thing. But, at the same time, most of those features exist to help counter the fact that it's harder to do basic things with a trackpad, since your speed and accuracy are vastly reduced. I'd MUCH rather have the precision of a mouse, even for standard browsing/word processing/whatever.

I had the same though regarding the "magic" mouse vs my Logitech mouse. Except that I have some odd gestures to do it rather than clicking the buttons.

My tablet uses touch gestures and I've never missed them when using my desktop computer. They strike me as a work-around for not having a keyboard & mouse, not something superior. But that's just me.

Razer recently announced that a pair of prototype Blades, the company’s upcoming gaming laptop, were stolen in early November in a break-in that appears to have specifically targeted at the prototypes. Razer global marketing director Heathcliffe Hatcher told Kotaku that the thieves left most of the electronics in the office untouched, while the Blades vanished from different parts of the office.

Razer has made a public appeal on Facebook for the return of the laptops, an appeal that Razer told Kotaku was motivated by its need for the testing data from those prototypes. When they were stolen, they were connected to tracking equipment that was monitoring and an ongoing thermal test.

While Razer’s offices were broken into, the thieves did not have to break into the secure lobby of office building where those offices are located. Hatcher told Kotaku that police are waiting to examine the lobby’s security card records, although it seems a bit strange that they have not yet done so when the break-in occurred on November 5th.

In the meantime, Razer wants everyone to be on the lookout for the stolen Blades. It’ll be the sexy, thin laptop with the glowing triad of snakes on the lid. Any tips about the theft should should be directed to cult [at] razerone [dot] com.
