apple brought the mouse to market, really? Wow, so that 5 button device I was using with architecture programs years before the mac (or even the lisa) were introduced weren't on the market.
You apple folks make that 1984 ad more ironic every day - now rewriting history to give apple credit for things they clearly didn't do. Also appreciate the clever word play - "brought to market" as opposed to "invented", at least no longer claiming credit for xerox's work.
It was indeed Apple who was first to market the mouse and the GUI to the general public and/or home user in retail stores. Apple is also responsible for bringing some of the WORST mice to the market including the Mighty Mouse.
Theoretically CBS can counter-sue them for using the name Mighty Mouse without there permission. CBS owns the rights to the name, and Apple owns the rights to the computer product, so apple did what what appropriate and bought the name legitimately, while Man and Machine assumed it was open market. They could be faces serious charges for using the name in fact, if they continue to provoke CBS and Apple. I don't know about you, but with all the lawsuits Apples be dealing with, I'm sure there lawyer have enough experience to deal with a little hospital parts company.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
maybe they should thank apple instead of sueing them, as apple brought the mouse to market and created an area in which they could make a business?
I'd take a logitech mx518 any day of the week

Do apple create markets for Man & Machine in labs and hospitals , oh no wait thats THEIR market.
Gotta love fan-bois can't even read the article before their TPM chip kicks and Steve pushes the one button on his tiny Apple remote *ATTACK*
Low ranked?
Apple DID bring the mouse to the market and to the gui, as well as most home computer technologies used today.
Silly fanboys.
