I’ve admitted it before, and I will again. I happen to love Apple’s Mighty Mouse. It fits my hand, and works perfectly for me. It’s probably the best mouse I’ve ever used. I now have three of these, and they each control different machines. How can I easily tell which one is which? The one for the iMac is black… did you know that Apple made a black Mighty Mouse? Well, they don’t, actually. I’m using an iSkin.

Just as famous super heroes need a protective cape to save the day, your beloved Apple Mighty Mouse needs eye–catching ProTouch protection for many, many days of functional use and stylish good looks.
The innovative ProTouch for Mighty Mouse is made of premium, high–grade silicone, and features built–in antimicrobial protection to inhibit the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria on the product. The form–fitting cover provides lasting defense against dirt and spills, and can conveniently be removed/reapplied for quick, easy cleaning.
Available in your choice of six gorgeous designer colors, the ProTouch for Mighty Mouse delivers the total comfort and usability that you expect, and the powerful, long–lasting protection that you demand.

It really does come in excellent colors. You can choose from black, white, pink, orange, lime green, and a very cool electric blue color. These run about $20.00, and are a fun way to dress up your Mighty Mouse.

Mighty Mouse vs Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 is a post from Chris Pirillo

http://live.pirillo.com – A wireless mouse is a beautiful thing, but what mouse is perfect for you? JC asks why Chris got a mighty mouse and if Chris could "point" him in the right direction. How lame.

Chris has been happily using the Mighty Mouse, but also enjoys his Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000.

Apple has the design and elegance going for it, as well as the "tech coolness" factor in only having one button yet being able to right click. The scroll wheel is also much more comfortable than on his PC mouse. It’s for all of those reasons that Chris likes the Mighty Mouse over most of his other peripherals.

Webboy posted a video response claiming that you cannot right click with the Mighty Mouse, but Chris disagrees: you can right click with the Mighty Mouse, even though it only has one button. All you need to do is configure it correctly.

Chris prefers to use the Laser Mouse 8000 on his PC mainly because it’s made for the PC.

What mouse do you use?

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
