Mac GUI City :: New iMacs

Dog Cow · **Mayor** Topic Starter

Well, the new iMacs have been out for about 2 days now, so I thought I'd do something daring here in the forums and start a topic. Now I know you're all thinking, "A new topc?! Good Lord, what the devil is he thinking?!" but these forums will dry up and blow away if we just do word games all day.

I thought that the most interesting thing was the new Magic Mouse, because it is like a movable track pad, in how you can do the swiping thing on it. I would like to try one out. I have doubts about the ergonomics, though, especially with regard to long-term usage.

If you don't object to vivisection ....
there's a good description on ars technica of what is inside the new mouse
http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/10/magic-mouse-oh-my-godits-full-of-capacitive-sensors.ars
and how it works - capacitive touch sensors. Under the shell is a flexible printed circuit with a capacitive 138-sensor array.

They have also gutted a 27 inch iMac so you can see what is inside.
