As this fellow was booting up the computer, an unusual thing started to happen: the keyboard wasn’t working or initializing on boot. Not only that, but also the built-in mouse was failing. Now, if one were to connect the power, or perhaps an external USB-based mouse, the computer’s keyboard would then work. Disconnect all this, shut down the computer completely and no keyboard….
Today, I’m trying out a new type of mouse called the Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse. The so-named “wedge” because of its striking resemblance to a doorstop. Was the mouse useful? Is it worth your hard-earned cash?
Indeed, there are a number of uses for technology that let’s us control computers with hand gestures – among them, your typical game. But, the implications of this technology becoming mainstream include the final and eventual replacement of the mouse.
