All right to touch?
Apple’s new mouse, dubbed “Mighty Mouse” sounds fantastic.
But it looks a little … um … what’s the word? Nipply?
Yes, that’s it. It looks like it has a nipple. A tiny, gray, itty-bitty nipple that, to hear Apple tell it, can scroll in all directions and is “perfectly positioned to roll smoothly under just one finger.”
Ahem.
Apart from the, um, thingy, it looks as if the mouse is outfitted with multiple erogenous zones that you can “Click,” “Squeeze,” “Roll” and “Scroll.” Just don’t let your boss see.
When you stand the mouse up as on the top of this page, it also looks like an albino Marshmallow Peep, one with an antenna coming out of its head and one staring eye. Could you love a one-eyed Peep?
I think I’ll go to the Apple store and see if this mouse puts me in the mood for geek love.
Don’t worry. My current four-button Trackball mouse won’t get jealous. We have a strictly platonic relationship.
