Mundane shit like this and the response it gets "FIRST THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, NOW THE WORLD!" simply scares me.

Talk about a strawman.

Picked up a Mighty Mouse today, out of sheer curiosity, knowing I had two weeks to return it if I was the slightest bit displeased with it. I used in with my PowerBook all afternoon at work.

The scroll ball is teeny-weeny but works just as well as any scroll wheel I have experienced. Its diagonal scrolling capabilities are fine and all for those who have a use for it. All 3 of you. But seriously, it works like a champ.

The touch sensors are not overly sensitive...99% of the time; you can rest your right finger on the mouse while left clicking and vice versa. For the four hours or so I've been using it, though, it has incorrectly registered 2 left clicks, acting as if I had right clicked. That's 2 times too many in my opinion and greatly degrades my support for Apple's use of a fancy-pants technology where the traditional, mechanical method works flawlessly. Tsk...

Speaking of clicks, I assumed prior to my purchase that the scoll ball click was independent of the left and right "touch-sensitive" clicks. I was wrong. It presses the whole mouse down as well. This explains why Apple did not add in a software action for simultaneous left and right click; the scroll ball click is both left and right click seemingly.

I was most excited about assigning the squeeze button on the sides as the Application Switcher. I did. It doesn't function as I hoped. The App Switcher pops up, but unlike command-tab, it doesn't automatically select the next application. You have to left click on the app icon you want to switch to. Additionally, what I failed to realize when daydreaming about the App Switcher assigned to a mouse button is that I use command-n frequently after switching to an app (e.g. Safari) to open a new window. Therefore, because I use a keyboard command immediately after accessing the App Switcher, I might as well stick with command-tab. That is, unless I find or make a script that automates command-n, and then assign that script to, say, the scroll ball click. I don't really want to geek out on a mouse button though.

I am happy that I can assign "Button 3" functionality to the scroll ball click, as Safari treats Button 3 as open URL in new tab. That's sped up my surfing somewhat; I no longer have to hold down command when clicking on a URL. And yes, I am aware this can be accomplished with most 3-button mice.

Message to Apple: Think different all you want. Don't do different unless practical.

Stop fucking bolding at random you fucking twit.

Thanks for caring

Thanks for caring

seriously though. Bolding is mainly used to draw the readers eyes to areas of text.

If you feel the need to emphasize a point, use italics.

If you read all your bolded bits... they don't make a fucking lick of sense.

Moreover, words naturally emphasize themselves through use, so that you don't need to emphasize most of the bolded points.

I've seen others complain about random bolding before, but this has to be the single worse case I've ever seen on this forum.

Just FYI for the App Switcher. You can scroll through the apps with the ball.

Very true. But now what? I can highlight an app icon with the scroll ball, but I still have to left click it to select the app. Or am I missing something?

Chill out man. Step back and realise that you're scolding someone over the internet for improper usage of the bold tag...

It's not a big deal, and especially doesn't warrant the post you made about it :lol I like you too Zaptruder, it sucks when I see posters I like being jackasses.
