It began with iPhone. Then came iPod touch. Then MacBook Pro. Intuitive, smart, dynamic. Multi-Touch technology introduced a remarkably better way to interact with your portable devices — all using gestures. Now Apple has reached another milestone by bringing gestures to the desktop with a mouse that’s unlike anything ever before. It’s called Magic Mouse. It’s the world’s first Multi-Touch mouse. And while it comes standard with every new iMac, you can also add it to any Bluetooth-enabled Mac for a Multi-Touch makeover.
Seamless Multi-Touch Surface
Magic Mouse — with its low-profile design and seamless top shell — is so sleek and dramatically different, it brings a whole new feel to the way you get around on your Mac. You can’t help but marvel at its smooth, buttonless appearance. Then you touch it and instantly appreciate how good it feels in your hand. But it’s when you start using Magic Mouse that everything comes together. The Multi-Touch area covers the top surface of Magic Mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere. Inside Magic Mouse is a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse won’t confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when you’re just resting your hand on it.
Laser-Tracking Engine
Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that’s far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking. That means it tracks with precision on nearly every surface — whether it’s a table at your favorite cafe or the desk in your home office — without the need for a mousepad.
Wireless
Magic Mouse connects wirelessly to your Mac via Bluetooth, so there’s no wire or separate adapter to worry about. Pair Magic Mouse with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac and enjoy a reliable and secure connection up to 33 feet away. When you combine Magic Mouse with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, you create a workspace free of annoying cables. And because Magic Mouse is wireless, it can venture beyond the confines of your desk. A quick flick of the on/off switch helps conserve battery power while Magic Mouse is tucked in your bag. Even when it’s on, Magic Mouse manages power efficiently, by detecting periods of inactivity automatically.
Magic Mouse looks so cool and I'm going to get one soon! If you want to know further information, go to check out Apple's website.
With Halloween just around the corner, Japan's MEDICOM TOY CO. struck an interesting arrangement with Disney recently in creating a vinyl figure of world's most famous mouse, Mickey Mouse, in the likeness of Jack Skellington, the key character in Tim Burton's claymation classic 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. Each of the figure was casted in specific mold, then hand coloured and painted. Though announced through MEDICOM TOY CO. in time for Halloween, the Mickey Mouse Jack Skellington Edition will not be available till April of 2010. Thanks to Freshness for the info and photo!

Damn! I'm so sick these few days. Even now, I'm still not feeling too good. I didn't go to work and just only stay on my bed all the time. I went to visit doctor on Thursday and he said I've got gastroenteritis. Oh! Man! That's why I vomited all the food I ate before. I found that I especially miss my mum and my love during the period of illness. Haha~
