Excellent
2008-11-26My first gaming optical mouse. Excellent mouse, still working after a few years of hard work :)
Was replaced by a more advanced Logitech MX500, but still use it constantly. It rocks!

the only Microsoft product I like
2008-11-19I've used this mouse for decades. My current Intellimouse is over 10 years old, and still works beautifully. It's comfortable in my hands (I wear a ladies' size small glove, for reference). It's very accurate and smooth. The five buttons are great - they make surfing so much faster, and because they're programmable, I can find a use for all five in almost every program. It blows people's minds when they watch me navigate because I can do things without them seeing it just by clicking a button on the mouse, rather than going to a menu or the keyboard.
I have several Macintoshes and once had a Windows laptop. The Intellimouse works well on all of them. It does require a downloaded driver, but it's a small price to pay for this kind of functionality.

I Replaced My Abused Intellimouse.
2008-11-11I'm a hard core gamer, the left button on my mice gets thrashed. It took three years , but the left button started to double click on it's own, so I retired it to backup status (I can always program the middle button for single click).
I like the MS Intellimouse, it's rugged (really), quick, never gives me "jumping cursor syndrome", and, I like wired opticals. Love the 5 buttons.

Great mouse and no hassle
2008-10-04Like most I run through computer mice and other pointing devices on a regular basis. Long ago I gave up the ball mouse for an optical version. This one's nice in that you can program all the controls for your preferences or leave it at default as it came from the factory.
When surfing or doing work, knowing you can just slighly move a finger or thumb and go back or forward a website, or forward or back a page in a document you're working on, very nice.
One of the better features is the scroll wheel. Like most, you can program it for how fast scolling will be (light speed or a slow crawl) but when you depress the wheel all the open windows adjust on your desktop, all displayed. Now all you need to do is move to the one you want to work on, click it and ta da, that's now the active window...wait, not the right one? Not a problem, click the scroll wheel again and you're right back to all the open windows displayed, pick another.
Lightweight, sturdy, good choice for those who don't want to change batteries all the time.

best mouse i ever used
2008-10-03I think this is the best mouse i have ever used and everybody I let use it buys one. I like that it has 5 button so you can go back and forward when surfing the web. In program button to do shortcuts,

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents.
In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
