    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!

    I love my Mighty Mouse. The only problem is when dirt gets in to the ball area. When that happens, I rip it apart and clean it.

    Is it really a win for AT&T when the competition (at least in my area) is Comcast?

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

    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.

    Do you homework Rothman.

    Apple licensed the name from Viacom, which owns the trademark to the Mighty Mouse name, so the trademark for the other company means absolutely nothing. In fact, unless they licensed it, Viacom could easily sue and recoup damages.

    That being said; the mighty mouse did suck. Here's hoping the next one is less sucky...

    @John Blair: No: trademark only applies to specific product areas, because its purpose is to avoid product confusion. This is, incidentally, also why Apple can trademark the name of a kind of fruit.

    So Man & Machine was on solid legal ground when it started making "Mighty Mouse" computer peripherals, because there was no risk it could be confused with the cartoon.

    Later, CBS tried to trademark "Mighty Mouse" for computer mice (to complement their existing trademarks for entertainment), and license that to Apple.

    Since Man & Machine had been making Mighty Mouse mice for a while already by that point, they won the ensuing trademark dispute. Man & Machine gets exclusive use for computer mice, Apple gets kinda screwed.

    If anyone didn't do their homework, it was CBS and Apple.

    U-Verse would have my complete and undying love if their tech support didn't make every minor issue into a three premises visit ordeal. They have umpteen thousand wireless shops around town that are hawking it, so why do I need them to roll a truck to replace an obviously dead receiver?

    also, i know that comedy isn't a democratic process, but i count 3 lols, one awesome, and one misspelled instance of the word 'genius' being employed in reference to yours truly. so maybe you just don't get it; i shall explain.

    in african american culture, ones friends are often endearingly referred to using a colloquial term that bears a sonic resemblance the the word 'naga', though the two words differ largely in their etymology. by cleverly juxtaposing said term with said similar term, one creates an instance of what is known as 'absurdist comedy', that is, comedy that derives its humorous value from simple deviations from common speech, such as turns of phrase or double entendre.
