The Mighty Mouse is a "two button wonder"
April 12th 2007 09:16
I think one of the reasons PC users don't want to own a mac is because Apple treats its users as imbeciles. On the Mighty Mouse product page Apple declares it to be a 'two button wonder', my mouse has three buttons (scroll wheel clicks), does that make it the 'Mighty Mouse 2'?
A device so easy to use no one can use it, well almost, give it to some mac geeks who'll gawk over the Shuffle will love it to bits.
Other wonders the product page has to speak of is nothing short of ridiculous 'Time is round. Space is curved. Why should your mouse be linear?' and 'Mighty Mouse is one smooth operator'. Sheesh.
I'll just list the rest:
"one or two batteries" (it's repeated several times throughout the product page)
"Alas the fate of the one-button mouse in today’s multibutton world. Who has time for intuitive, elegant design when there is so much clicking to do?"
"No wonder it’s a wonder."
"can glide the wireless Mighty Mouse over more surfaces — metal, wood, plastic, even your denim (or tweed) clad leg." (I can think of some other places Mac fanboys will want to 'glide' their 'Mighty Mouse')
"How many companies would spend so much time and thought building a mouse that works seamlessly with the world’s most advanced operating system? Here’s a hint: You can count them on one finger." (only a mac fanboy will be dumb enough to believe a commercial level operating system is the 'most advanced', especially one targeted at idiots such as him/her).
"tail or no tail"
The above was purely in jest, if you are fuming with rage then I feel sorry for you and you really need to get a life.

Ha!
It is a bit sad, Ahmed. Even as a Mac user - here I am thinking "Apple have finally made a two-button mouse - it's about time. I can scrap my ugly uncomfortable Microsoft thing which I've been using anyway...", and they are thinking they've re-invented the (scroll) wheel.
It's a little scary the hype they put into a two button mouse. It really does them no favours.

It is sad though, those who fall into the hype.
