Their favorite Bluetooth set is $250, which is steep, but it was the best they found in the bunch. A $50 or $65 RF keyboard/mouse combo with plain RF is recommended....

Lineup Revealed
08/16/2004 06:03 PM

microsoft_with_fingerprint.jpg imageActiveWin got a hold of Microsoft's Fall mouse and keyboard lineup, if that's the sort of thing that gets you going. Although for the most part the new peripherals look like more of the same (which isn't necessarily bad), at least two of the products - the "Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer with Fingerprint Reader Windows USB" and the "Optical Desktop with Fingerprint Feature USB" - feature a biometric security fingerprint scanner (presumably with accompanying software).

Even better, it looks like on at least two of the keyboards they've gone back to the standard arrow key cross, delete/insert group, and function key layout. (Thanks, Christoph!)

The Mouse BT


The Mouse BT 02/06/2005 03:24 AM
I was in the drugstore picking up a prescription and wandered into the computer section, where I found myself impulse-buying The Mouse BT from some outfit I’ve never heard of called DVForge. It’s Bluetooth and looks like an Apple mouse, only it’s got two buttons (the way this is accomplished seems to rely on bending acrylic in a really clever way) plus a scrollwheel. It’s slick, slick, slick; and looks neat. I bought the Aluminum model but now that I realise there’s a white version too I think that would look better. On top of looking nice, the scrollwheel is the smoothest I’ve used. I’m kind of worried how fast it’ll go through batteries; I’ll report back when I know.

John Darnielle writes about the fatally self-destructive temptation for artists to respond to bad reviews online:

  ...if you're smart, you'll realize that the best way to preserve your honor is to keep your mouth shut and let others share their opinions of your work. They don't like it? They hate it, and want to say so publicly? Well! Welcome to public life! If you don't like it, there are plenty of dishwashing jobs available! If you're all that angry, arrange for your label not to send them promos in the future. But pissing matches with the guy who wrote the review? Ones in which, God save us all, the dreaded "that's only your opinion!" last-gasp-of-a-defense card is played? Can we just not, please? Can we be a little more grown-up about things?

New iMac?


New iMac? 08/27/2004 01:33 PM

Giz modo had this snapshot of what is reportedly Apple's new iMac G5. It's supposed to be released next week, but somebody got a sneak peek in an elevator at Charles DeGaulle Airport. Looks to be little more than a thick flat panel monitor, with the computer's guts tucked behind the screen.

I would think that would be an easy build — just use the basic parts from a laptop unit, wrap it with a spiffy new skin, jam in a G5 processor and the proper cooling mechanisms, and there you have it.

Drool.

20" iMac


20" iMac 11/18/2003 11:24 PM
The 20" iMac doesn't look as ungainly as I would expect, but it's still surprising. Is there really a market for a slow Mac with a big screen? Apple used the introduction of the dual 1.8GHz G5 as an excuse to quietly replace its bogus SPEC benchmarks with something more realistic. (But you know someone is going to say, "Why didn't they compare against the dual 3.2GHz xw8000? It's been out for three hours!")

The Sub-$500 iMac?


The Sub-$500 iMac? 12/29/2004 11:38 AM

This could be fun! Think Secret says they know what The Steve will be unveiling at the January 11 Macworld Expo: a bare bones, G4-based iMac without a display that will retail for $499.

This new product will be for a Windows user who has experienced the iPod, the ease of use of the iTunes software, and has played around with a Mac at an Apple retail store just long enough to know he'd buy one if it were a little cheaper.

Code name Q88, the machine is said to be very small and designed to either go underneath a monitor or stand upright, alongside a second computer. The guys over at MacSlash are hoping that it will also have a built-in KVM that will allow PC switchers to run the iMac side-by-side with their existing PC, using the same keyboard, mouse & monitor. That might be a little much to hope for, but if the rest is true, that might shake things up a bit, don't you think?
