Apple's next-gen mouse is putting its shirt back on, ditching its scroll nipple for a touch-sensitive shell. According to a patent that came out today, the mouse will react differently according to how you hold it.
I've had no problems with my Mighty Mouse, except for the stupid nipple/wheel that always clogs up with dust and makes scrolling impossible, so this to me is a very welcome change.
