Ruh oh! Yahoo has been forced to apologize after hiring scantily clad dancers for its “Hack Day” in Taiwan last weekend. These pictures (pretty tame, but not necessarily SFW) are from a now-removed video posted on its Developer Network Blog. “Hack Days” are intended to celebrate creativity as developers race to create Web apps in…

So Long Nipples, This Time You Won’t Be Missed

I hate my Mighty Mouse. It gets so dirty so quickly. And that damn scroll nipple—sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. That’s why I want the new Apple Magic Mouse, the second Apple mouse with no buttons whatsoever. https://gizmodo.com/how-dirty-and-gross-is-your-tech-gear-364065 The first was the Apple Pro Mouse. I got one free at the July 2000 Macworld…

Confirming earlier rumors, Apple’s Mac mini server ditches an optical drive to make room for two 500GB hard disks.

New Unibody LED MacBook Hands On

At the center of today’s minor product explosion, Apple’s refreshed $1000 White MacBook is the only right-fielder: It’s got a rubberized bottom, multitouch trackpad, LED backlighting, the MacBook Pro’s non-replaceable battery, and healthy spec bumps.
