MMFixed’s Magic Mouse fix hands-on, literally

Apple haters, cherish the moment while you can. The Magic Mouse’s odd ergonomics aren’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea — including some of us at Engadget — so we were more than a bit stoked when our silicone lump from MMFixed arrived in post today. Installation was straight-forward and mess-free thanks to the small suction pad underneath, and despite the fairly strong attachment, we were able to easily slide or rotate the soft cushion on the mouse for adjustments. We’ve had no problems with multitouch input thus far, and the old wristache-after-prolonged-usage seems to now be a thing of the past. So yeah — it’s safe to say that this squidgy fix was well worth the $10 investment (although it has gone up to $12 now, which is hardly the end of the world). You could say that it’s rather silly to fix something that’s supposedly magical, but we suppose even the best tricks could stand to be improved.

    On the list of dangerous humanoid bots DARwIn is well topped by the bow-happy iCub . Still -- we do not trust this thing one iota. While we have not seen it pick up any weaponry just yet, our friends to the north are teaching it certainly one of man's most notoriously violent sports: hockey.

    It is the end of another era at NASA, although this one was perhaps more inevitable than others. Chief Information Officer Linda Cureton announced in a blog post over the weekend that the agency's last mainframe computer was shut down this month, marking an end to decades of room-filling computers. Needless to say, that last mainframe was considerably newer than that pictured above.… »
