Apple gives customers the middle finger
Or perhaps I should say, Apple gives customers the ability to use the middle finger.
While it looks very much like a standard Mac mouse, the MightyMouse is actually Apple's first attempt at a two button mouse. PC users have long speculated about whether Mac users are smart enough to use a second button, but I think they'll catch on just fine. Personally, I yearn for the day when graphic arts authors can quit repeatedly writing "Right click (Ctrl+Click on the Mac)..."

Not only is the MightyMouse an elegant looking piece of equipment, but Apple has even one-upped other mouse manufacturers by building a tiny trackball into the top of the mouse, instead of the standard, restrictive mouse wheel. It also includes pressure-sensitive side buttons allowing the user to squeeze the mouse to access the Tiger Dashboard, Expose, or other user-defined programs. MightyMouse retails at $49 USD and can be ordered at http://www.apple.com/mightymouse
