From mice to vacuum cleaners. Score one for being topical.
I've seen vacuum cleaners that have optical sensors that will let them gauge the perfect height for the suspension in ratio to the shag-factor of the carpet, in order to facilitate better, cleaner homes with fewer dust mites.
I don't know about you, but I just jam the fucker all the way to the floor, all the time. No need for lasers when sucking dust off the rug.
And as for the actual topic: I'm going optical soon. Stopping a game of Max Payne to clean your XYZ wheels is like having a concert stop so the guitarist can change his strings. (Or, lasers do help when killing virtual assassins.)

There is so much sexual innuendo in that post, FreeThought.
To be topical, my laptop has a touchpad. It took me a few weeks to get used to it, but I think its quite cool. However, drawing with a touchpad can be quite a challenge at times (as well as being completely awkward).

Surely you have one hand on the keyboard when playing Jedi Knight II anyway?
And scrollwheels are much better. Much.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I like the scrollwheels. So nice to use them when half of my job consists of scrolling up and down r�sum�s and company webpages.
