We went to the local Apple Store on Sunday to buy a Magic Mouse.
They were out of stock. I was pretty bummed since I have grown an intense dislike for the Mighty Mouse, with that uncleanable tiny trackball. I have read that the Magic Mouse might have occasional pixel-accuracy tracking issues, but I'll take that over not being able to scroll down every other week.
Apple sells the Magic Mouse for $70, which is an annoyingly large amount of money. How can the new mouse cost roughly half the price of an iPhone? I should probably be looking into third party products, but the curse of Apple hardware is that nothing ever seems to work as well as Apple hardware. Even when the trackball gets gunked up.
Here's what I found on Amazon:
Oh yeah, that's brilliant. $120! How did those ripoff artists end up with the default view when you search for a Magic Mouse? If you click the "new at $69" link, you get a regularly priced option, with free shipping. The $120 guy wants another $13 to ship.
What's up with the jackanape trying to sell a used Magic Mouse for $88?
