Re: Magically mousey and scrollingly slow

Freekofnature — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:27:50 -0000

I have a "mighty mouse" and had problems with the scroll ball ceasing to work in a certain direction.
My darling husband pulled out from his magic bag an alcohol soaked "prep swab" and ran it over the ball a few times and
restored it back to perfect function!!

I can understand why they dropped it from the Magic Mouse. I hear it comes with much improved control software as well. The Magic Mouse uses bluetooth to communicate with the Mac.

I'd go with the Magic Mouse and buy re-chageable batteries for it, $69.00 is a small price to pay to avoid carpal-tunnel syndrome....

I will surely wait for this game. It's nice to know that Billy won the game. Thanks for updating us.

Interesting post. I have stumbled this for my friends. Hope others find it as interesting as I did.

It's now went from "getting pregnant" to "rape." Todd and Sarah definitely know how to put words into other people's mouths. Letterman said nothing about Rape.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,525800,00.html

"Palin's husband, Todd, echoed her sentiments, telling FOXNews.com, "Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it, and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too.""

(i hope this makes sense, i've been awake far too long. palin just hits a nerve with me. so many reasons, it's a combo platter - she's just like nails on a chalkboard to me, so i have to reply. :D)

first, the tidbit that her 14-year-old was with her in NY *did* indeed make her outrage make more sense. so i can see now why she said what she said.

it wasn't an obvious well known tidbit upfront because, let's face it, who cares. i watch cable news all the time; and even i don't pay attention to politicans' entourages. oh i'm sure she *thinks* all eyes are on her at every media opportunity, so no wonder she'd be outraged, assuming everyone knew the daughter with her was the 14 year old, blah blah, i'm boring myself with this. so, there's that.

but in defense of the letterman camp, -- i'm a latenight talk show nerd, i'm sure palin is not, so she took it all too seriously -- there's a level of artistic license along with the irrelevance of details when it comes to late night joke premises, so that's how that game goes. regarding these joke setups, dave also had one where palin went shopping - which she also took offense to because it didn't happen in real life.

i didn't even consciously know or remember that she *had* a 14 year old daughter. i think the average person's memory of her family is that there are a bunch of random interchangable/unidentifiable kids, and then the one 18 year old that got pregnant. any insinuation from the palin camp that the comments were aimed at her 14 year old are preposterous. (let alone anyone knowing/caring who was with her/not with her on this trip.)

what bothers me the most is her harping on this fabricated idea of "statutory rape" - that makes me uncomfortable. her poor daughter/s, for that. no one ever said anything about rape. it's obvious what was implied by the jokes (her legal age, well known kid is promiscuous, and spitzer & a-rod are as well = 2 jokes in one)

(sorry to burst your celeb bubble ms p, the only kid we remember anyway is the one that got pregnant!)

and on top of it all, letterman doesn't even write his monologue jokes (i know someone on twitter who freelances for him for that very cause); he might have okayed it, but when the spin gets out of control to the point where he's being called a pedophile, that is ridiculous. it just makes her look very attention starved. she's actually reminding me a bit of dina lohan lately. yikes!

How is this news?? Did she really think it was about Willow? I hate to say it, is she that dumb?

Guest: Bingo! This is just another way to stay in the public eye.

I will bet you there are more than 100 insults that were hurled at Chelsea when she was a teen. No comedian ever apologize for those insults or innuendos.

Grow a backbone and move on.

Campaigns are over. Please stay out of NY and run your own state. It's NYC that's how people are treated. Get over it and move on. How many times has Hillary and/or Chealsey Clinton been made fun of don't hear of them complaining. If you are a public figure you need to learn to let jokes just happen. Picking a fight with a comedian proves you have nothing else better to do.

Brian and I joke that it's "American idol starring Adam Lambert," lol. I think he's the clear winner. There's no one else in his league.

Yep. I love Cook so much!

Yeah, that was pretty awesome. Some of the best performances every year come out when the contestants take a well-known song and turn the arrangement completely on end and take it in a new direction. David Cook was a near-master at that last year.

Kris had a Santana feel to his arrangement and I loved it!

even tho this could be considered a total spoiler for me, since i live in california.... it really isn't a spoiler. it just makes me anticipate the show even more.

Personally, I don't care about what they are wearing. I won't likely see them in concert, anyway, so it doesn't matter to me what they are wearing. I'll be listening to them, not watching, so outfit isn't important.

Kris did pretty good tonite with a song that was (covered?) by James Taylor and gave it his own spin.

Having rewatched it while the poker game was going on tonight, I don't know what I was thinking making that pick. Danny was actually really good. I have seen most of the results show (also while the game was in progress) and will blog it tomorrow night.

You honestly think Danny is going home? Dial Idol disagrees but wow they have Alexis and Allison as well as Megan in the bottom three.
