speaking of eyebrows, my eyebrows are quite thick, is it now socially acceptable to trim them. I have been wondering of doing this but I am afraid I might be seen as a metrosexual kinda person. The reason I ask here, is because the theme came up, and you guys are like me, mostly geeky. #google
I have sort of the same issue. I can't sit still. I simply can't. My hands need to be doing something. I always end up fiddling with a rubber band or a wad of paper or something. If I don't, I just zone out and I end up not remembering what has transpired in the last hour or so.
One time, during my job orientation, the instructor left these little rubber koosh-ball knock offs on each of the tables for people to fiddle with. I loved the thing. #google
@Xagest: Mild fiddling is one thing. annoying, but marginally tolerable. To not even look at the guy during a meeting? That's clearly unacceptable.
Once I was in a production meeting, and the VP was playing with her ring, spinning it on the table out of boredom, which made a lot of distracting noise. Of course, no one was going to call her on it. #google
"What? I'm sorry I'm too busy being a douche. I always do this," Page said.
"Well, you can't do this," Diller said. "Choose."
"I own Google, so that automagically gives me the authority to do what I please." Page said matter-of-factly, not lifting his eyes from his handheld device, as he googled an efficient way to fix his eyebrows. #google
@Jesus Diaz: And that was during the *early days* of Google. One can only estimate the sheer magnitude of his ego now, which would no doubt require n-dimensional log modeling, a PS3 distributed computing client, and a roomful of Ph.Ds. #google
I use the Mighty Mouse everyday at work, and let me tell you...
Pros: the scroll ball is great for just about everything.
Cons: the 1 click, touch sensing is absolutely garbage.
The squeeze feature is annoying and non-directional.
The tracking is inaccurate, compared to any optical mouse.
The mouse feet are sub par.
The ball can get stuck.
Overall, I'd go and strip the 360-ball and retrofit it to a nice Logitech G3 laser mouse for the ultimate mouse!
Don't get me wrong here I love Mac, but how about a mouse with more than one button on it. The touch sensitive buttons were crap. Is it that hard to get past their ego? I mean come on. But please keep the scroll ball because that was nice.

I find this even more ironic considering the Comcast ad above this comment box.
