The Multi-Touch area covers the top surface of Magic Mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere. Inside Magic Mouse is a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse won’t confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when you’re just resting your hand on it.
When will Microsoft make a multi-touch mouse?! ]]> News and Links from Around the Web superty12 http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic138204.html Good Jokes Blog http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic137638.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:18:24 GMT Hey guyz I came across this Jokes Blog from a friend and it's has a lot of good jokes to read up and the best one also haha... give it a try, and have a laugh, ehe

[B]SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Last week's launch of Windows 7 by Microsoft Corp. is widely expected to ignite a boost in sales of PCs after the company's last operating system failed to ignite much excitement.[/B]

The initial reaction among analysts suggests that the release of the new operating system has been stronger than expected and not only has given a boost to Microsoft's fortunes, but may also portend better-than-expected PC sales for the rest of the year -- and beyond.

"[I]We expect Windows 7 to spark a multi-year upturn in PC unit growth[/I]," Deutsche Bank hardware analyst Chris Whitmore said in a research note Monday.

Microsoft ([URL="http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/MSFT"]MSFT 28.02, -0.57, -1.99%[/URL]) released Windows 7 to the public on Oct. 22, the day before the world's largest software company reported fiscal first-quarter results. While Microsoft's earnings fell 18%, and sales were down 14% from the same period a year ago, the company managed to top the forecasts of analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters. See full story on Microsoft's results.

And the results also didn't include deferred revenue of almost [B]$1.5 billion[/B] related to pre-orders of Windows 7. Microsoft officials said such deferred sales highlighted a better-than-expected response to the release of the new operating system.
