Seventh Seal

Apple Mouse. The weather report for Hell is freezing rain with the possibility of snow. This, after Apple announced a two button mouse.

The new mouse includes a "Scroll Ball" so you can scroll up and down as well as side-to-side on large web pages. It also includes "capacitive sensors" that act as additional buttons so you can right or left tap the mouse.

Among other things, you can:

* Program the Scroll Ball button to launch Application Switcher, then move from one task to another with a scroll.
* Set any button to start a new Spotlight search and find what you're looking for, fast.
* Change the side buttons from displaying all windows in Exposé to displaying only the windows in the current application.
* Launch any application you choose from any button on Mighty Mouse: Just select "other" from the button drop-down menu and browse for applications in the Finder.
* Designate either top-shell button as your primary - the perfect solution for southpaws.

In other news, the band called the Eagles are touring again.

Freezing rain? Snow?
That just means the climat is turning perfect for penguins, isn't it? :)

Jon:

You didn't see this coming when they announced their new OS was "X" ('XP' being already taken) and they were migrating to Intel processors? Next, they'll start offering keyboards as part of the computer instead of as options, and they've got a special team studying how to make the OS more vulnerable and build in new opportunities for buffer overflow.
