you also have to spend $50 on a mouse. :Q
 
For $20 we can have 4 buttons and a scroll wheel and have had ones for a long time deathkoba!

(of course I still own a G4 Cube so I shouldn't bash apple too badly)

Hate to burst your bubble, but my mouse has had 7 buttons for well over a year, my mouse before that had 5. So, take your 4 button mouse, and stick it in your ear.

Ye4h, they're going down in flames, lolz!!!one!!11!!1!!!!1


As a totally unrelated side note, check out this interesting article from bloomberg.
Apparently they are hot stuff on the street yet again.

This is quite interesting, also.



Edit: Since 99% of you guys are too slack to click a link and read a little, here are some choice quotes from the above articles:

Apple climbed $1.92 to $48.02. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster named the maker of Macintosh personal computers and iPod music players the firm's ``large-cap top pick'' for the rest of 2005. Munster said Apple's share price may climb to the mid-$50s by the end of the year.

He said Macintosh computers have gained, on average, 0.2 percent of the global market per quarter over the last year, putting Apple on pace to exceed Wall Street estimates. The company's September-quarter forecast of results may also understate actual performance, according to Munster.

----------------
Apple has seen its UK share of the education market spring to 11.1 per cent, according to Gartner figures cited by Apple.

This signifies major growth - in 2003, Gartner?s figures showed Apple?s share at about 8.2 per cent.

Apple fanboys have to be the biggest sheep out there. Who else would let a company introduce old technology as new and eat it up like it was God's gift to man?

What touch-sensitive mouse with touch-sensitive multidirectional scrollwheel containing no moving parts do you have in mind?

Granted the technology existed before hand, but the combination of the various technologies inplemented in an unique way is what makes the technology innovative. Just as all the code methods within MacOS X will have been used before (ie the use of strings, variables, etc etc) but the way they were put together made the operating revolutionary and waaaay ahead of its time.

I say you're more of a sheep for following the mac haters crowd; slating whatever they come out with, normally with only a fraction of the required knowledge to make an informed opinion. No doubt you're one who cries about the supposed massive expense of the machines and the fact they can't do anything...

Yes, you are right. Apple took existing technology and created a new mouse with half the functionality of other quality mice, and charge twice as much. Good call.

It took Macintosh long enough to come out with a multi-button mouse. They're making fun of them being behind the times. Who cares if you have 4 buttons? I have a 5 button wheel mouse that's older than sh|t and it STILL kicks that worthless MightyMouse POS's ass.

Woah! Stop the presses ONE FIFTH OF ONE PERCENT increase in market share?! Hot damn, I'm calling my broker.

Note the "education market." Kindergarteners and 6th graders are fvcking stupid, so they need a Mac. Makes perfect sense to me.

And I'll paraphrase the others who have made similar comments:
Whine whine whine... my uuber mouse has 18 buttons and cost £3, it roxxors and has pics of skulls on it.

So dry your tears and plug your 5 button mouse in instead of buying a mighty mouse. It really is quite simple. Don't like it, don't buy it.
