Ask Engadget: Best Bluetooth mouse out there? {Engadget}
Jul 2nd 2009 10:13PM I totally agree with you. The MX Revolution is by far the best mouse I have ever used (and I went through a lot). The weight, the shape, and the button placements are excellent. It's not exactly portable, so I leave it home and keep a VX Nano in my backpack. The VX Nano is BTW another great mouse, albeit not Bluetooth. The only complain about the MX Revolution it is that Logitech sells only as part of the Cordless Desktop MX 5500 combo, so you can't buy the mouse alone.
Also agree with the commenter above advising against the Mighty Mouse. The stupid tiny ball on top would start failing every other week and cleaning it is a bitch. The worst is when your scrolling through a long document and suddenly the ball stops scrolling, and when you try harder is ends up scrolling 20 pages in one shot. I had the Apple Store replace it twice with no problem. But then one day it really got on my nerve and I just smashed it against a wall... Fun little experiment indeed.

Jun 21st 2009 9:41PM Wonder if one could add a video eyewear viewer like a Myvu, and a second Gyration mouse for the head. If this was possible, it would allow separate control for looking and aiming, like with a keyboard/mouse combo.

New MacBook Pros shipped with HDDs only have 1.5Gbps SATA enabled {Engadget}
Jun 15th 2009 3:23PM @???,
I'm using just above 82GB of my 160GB X-25M. That includes 20GB of movies, 10GB of music, 8GB of pictures, and 3GB of documents, source code, and other crap. Some of us don't need 2TB of space to haul around thousands of humongous files.
I much rather have the extra speed and Windows 7 runs sick fast on it. Expensive? Yes. Impractical? Definitely not.

Jun 15th 2009 3:08PM Hey murmermer, why are you spamming the comments with 20 copies of the same post? We heard you the first time.
Besides, who gives crap about how many people this affects? The point is that with SSDs becoming more and more common today, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever for Apple to to stick a 2003 controller into a 2009 laptop.
The only reason I can see is that with this they are now effectively forcing you to pay their much higher prices for upgrades that normally cost was less if you do them yourself.
Somebody mentioned that SATA II could be enabled by firmware upgrade, and that the SATA I mode would be for power saving reasons. I haven't thought of that, so if that's the case I take it back.

Jun 15th 2009 1:01PM I opened the article and was so disappointed to find out it was about a Samsung phone, not "Samsung Jet Packs"...

This new marketing strategy is becoming a very common occurrence nowadays.
Lenovo's ThinkPad T400s in the wild, still waiting on an official debut {Engadget}
Jun 11th 2009 1:53PM I think it means the (optical) disc drive is built-in, as opposed to external.
