A lot of pomp and circumstance went into the release of Apple’s new Magic Mouse. I’m a sucker for Apple’s products (and at times, gimmicks) so I bought one. Personally, I love it. Half of that is because the Mighty Mouse was pretty weak stuff so the Magic Mouse was leaps and bounds ahead of it’s predecessor, at least relatively. It still doesn’t offer as many hand gestures as the MacBook Pro’s Trackpad, but it does a decent job.

Yep that thing on the bottom is what we used to call a mouse. With “Minority Report” type technology quickly advancing, we’ll probably look back and laugh at the Magic Mouse too…

Well… kind of. For the first time, Firefox 3.5 has more users than any one version of competing browsers.

However, this may be more of a moral victory than anything as IE7 users are still migrating to IE8 (and quickly). Fully expect IE8 to be the browser king. But, this may be one small digital footprint for the non-IE world… one giant leap for the Internet user.

Internet Explorer still remains the world’s most popular browser. But, if trends continue, maybe one day the web developer community will rejoice at either A) Internet Explorer being relegated to a small piece of the browser user pie or B) they actually become standards compliant. I’d venture to guess at which one might occur first, but after a lifetime of betting on the Wolfpack, I’ll let this one play its course.
