Wow, say goodbye to Apple’s Mighty Mouse, and welcome MacMice’s Danger Mouse. This mouse has everything that you would want from the Mighty Mouse, plus more. Other than implementing laser technology for higher precision and a 1600dpi resolution, the design of the Danger Mouse is outstanding, at least from a Mac’s standpoint. While the Mighty Mouse supports some of the same functionality, Danger Mouse enhances that same functionality by taking it to the next level.
If you look carefully, there is now a slight gap between the left and right buttons, which defines their location. This is great for new Mac users who have recently converted from a Windows environment. To top it all, there’s also a scroll wheel that’s well defined as well. For extra glide, MacMice includes special glide pads to make gliding a bit smoother.
But we haven’t gotten to the good part yet. The Danger Mouse is available immediately for $29.99, which is about $20 cheaper than Apple’s Mighty Mouse. The funny thing is, Danger Mouse is a perfect name for this mouse. You bet it’s a danger to the Mighty Mouse.
Good job, MacMice!

That’s right. Forget all these phones with tons of buttons that half of us hardly use. We shall soon see phones that are completely touch sensitive.
This is something I would totally get for gaming…I think. As the title states, a group of University of California students have designed a 3D wireless mouse that somewhat works. The idea is to use the mouse without placing it on the surface. In this particular scenario, the students could move the device left, right, up, down, front and back for corresponding movements.
Hmmm…just a thought for Motorola and Cingular. Let’s get this straight. You are offering a RAZR V3i at Cingular now when Verizon and others have been offering it ever since its inception. Don’t you think diehard phone fans would’ve already switched service providers by now if they were so much in love with the RAZR series? I don’t know what you were thinking announcing this partnership this late in the game, but I wish you the best of luck.
Remember when Google acquired Writely, the online word processor, way back when. Yeah, the little startup that was part of the buzz of online office applications. After acquiring the company, Google decided to limit registration to a select few testers. Today, however, the company has changed all that and Writely is now open for business. All you need is a steady Internet connection and willingness to work in an uncontrolled environment (the thought of Google accidentally erasing my online storage space scares me too much).
After speakers and force feedback gaming controllers, the only thing we needed were a pair of vibrating gaming stereo headsets. Thanks to BeCell, a Taiwanese company, this is now a reality. Headphones have always been very bland. Sure, the audio quality is good, but you can’t feel the game. With force feedback technology, the headphones will vibrate like crazy, thereby giving you a completely unique (and hopefully acceptable) experience.
Wow, just when I thought things couldn’t get any weirder, something comes along and shocks me. Check out this gadget from a Japanese manufacturer Toto. For those of us living in North America, toilet seats are nothing to be proud of. After all, they are designed for us to excrete waste products into a central bowl that can later be flushed (hopefully). In Japan, however, they make their toilet seats special with automatic lifting and heating.
Here’s an all-in-one device that will bound to impress you. This USB 2.0 multi card reader supports a variety of storage cards and a SIM card that you can edit with a packaged application.
This is hot. LG is really kicking it into high gear these days with sexy new gadgets. Recently, it was the LG Chocolate and now it’s the company’s MFJM53 8GB HDD MP3 player.
It goes without saying that Logitech makes some of the best peripherals we have all worked with at one time or another. When the company launched its series of iPod accessories, I must say I was somewhat skeptical of the company’s strategy, but I was never worried about its quality. And what did we see from Logitech…a mirage of excellent iPod speakers. That’s right; the reviews are going insane with Logitech’s wonderful mm50. While that is all well and good, I’m disappointed in Logitech’s AudioStation Express. Not because it’s not a quality product, but simply because Logitech blatantly copies Apple’s Hi-Fi speaker set. With the amount of resources Logitech has, there’s no need to copy ideas.
Here’s another installment of our funky Apple products series, though this bed is not expected to be released by Apple anytime soon. A third-party company has designed a bed with an integrated iPod dock and a pair of Bose speakers.
