About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

I’m a lefty mouse user.
Did anyone see that the cyclists in France are using thermometer capsules (developed for NASA) that transmit core temperature and pulse? Turns out to be 20 year old technology and confirms my idea that the semi-conductor is one of the 5 greatest inventions in the history of man.

“News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters”
This is really impressive, but I do see some potential problems – like those who mouse left-handed, and those like me who use either hand, depending on how the carpal tunnel is doing in the dominant hand. Also wonder if this would require more clear space on a table/desk than a regular mouse or if it would be possible to trick the camera into recognizing finger taps made while the hand hovers over a messy pile of papers.
Almost as useful as the keyboardless laptop.

When is someone going to build the LCARS interface from star trek TNG? I don’t want to type anymore. I would much rather have a computer like the enterprise that I can talk to, have it type my letters as I speak, etc. I would much rather have a simple LCARS interface tied to an interactive voice command.
Mouseless mouse is so last year.
That is incredibly geeky.
Personally, I liked the music that accompanied the video best.
For the lefties, I’m sure the camera and laser can be mounted on the other side. Probably very simply, by the time they hit the market.
. . . and the nifty cartoon.
Jerry was less bulky than the technology, which had a noticeable lag in movement of the cursor. Laptop lids should not have appendages. Or maybe that was the equivalent of Jerry’s ears?
