Mighty Mouse

First Apple announces that they are moving to Intel x86 CPUs and today they’ve announced a multi-button mouse to be called the Mighty Mouse.

What’s funny about all this is that this will undoubtedly be the subject of conversation, blogs (I’m guilty of it right now!), and pundits for the next week or so. All over a mouse. Only Apple could make such a huge splash by releasing a mouse. It’s a mouse people! Will announcing a new mouse make a difference to Apple’s stock? That would be really funny.

This leads to the next obvious question, will Apple now incorporate multi-button mice into their new (x86 perhaps) laptops?

Here I come to save the day!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
