[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;36060353][url]http://astretchyhand.com/[/url][/QUOTE] best thing I want one of those now [editline]23rd May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=gman003-main;36060458]Weird. My bosses, as you may recall, are all Apple guys. They're not Macfags - they're reasonable people - but every company computer is Apple. Macbooks. Mac Minis. An old Xserve. iPhones and iPads. While waiting on my fucking laptop, I'm using a Mac Mini. Not particularly bad - considering all that needs to run is Komodo and ssh, it's more than powerful enough. Only reason I even mention it is that it means I use a Magic Mouse (aka the touch mouse with no buttons). It's actually not bad - I actually like it for coding, although it would be terrible for gaming and such. The "swipe through desktops" is particularly useful. But that fucker chews through batteries like nothing. Two AA batteries will last about two weeks - I had to replace them today because the thing completely died over my lunch break. Interestingly, the red "low battery" light just came on at my home computer. Logitech M315. It's good, it's small, and it was literally the cheapest mouse I could find. The single AA battery in it, though, lasts about 4-6 months, depending on how often I remember to turn it off (aka never). Just an interesting thing.[/QUOTE] Do you recommend it? I've been looking for a decent wireless mouse for my netbook, I hate unplugging my desktop's to carry it to school. Also, how's the battery consumption of wireless recievers? I kinda don't want to add another thing that draws a lot of battery power to it.

My [url=http://www.modmic.com]ModMic[/url] arrived (just 6 days from the US to the UK!) and boy was I surprised when I saw the packaging. I hadn't seen any unboxings, just audio tests. And it's even signed with a thank you note by the CEO! I love companies like this. [IMG_thumb]http://u.cubeupload.com/ijyt/20120523110215.jpg[/IMG_thumb]

If I ever get a desktop Mac, I'm either getting a Trackpad or a good ol' USB mouse. [editline]23rd May 2012[/editline] Also, I think my laptop's cooling system is broken. Again. Never buying Acer laptops again, fucking piece of shit. Whelp, no time like the present to save up for a Mac, I guess.

It's the best mouse I've ever seen for $20. Only problem is that it can be a bit awkward to hold at first, since it's shorter, lengthwise, but still the same height as a regular mouse. Don't know how much power the little USB bit uses, but I doubt it's much. Back when I used it on a laptop, I never noticed a difference in battery life from it.
I got the M180, I hold it so awkwardly :/ [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5483751/Photos/2012-05-23%2014.01.33.jpg[/t]
That's probably the most unique way I've seen anyone use a mouse

I broke apart one of my spare floppy disks and used it as solder to fill in the crack. [editline]23rd May 2012[/editline] And the fucking optical drive is dead, its actually the controller on the motherboard as it does the same with every drive I plug into the thing.
I nudged my computer before i went to bed and now it doesn't recognise anything in the top PCIe slot, this is horrible.

All this on an almost 2 year old laptop. Acer has some of the WORST build quality I've ever seen.
