Santa Mouse (Dec 24 2003 07:54 GMT) - If you really want to get into the holiday spirit then get yourself a Santa globe mouse. This is a USB mouse that has one of those liquid snow globes in it. This thing comes from, but of course: Japan (they get all the cool things). (Found at Gizmodo) |

- Just to show that I won't only write about when I come across Windows computers in my geek life in Silicon Valley, tonight I was buying some groceries with Maryam and Patrick at Safeway and I was interested in their brand new Point of Sale terminals. The UI was much simpler than what we saw last night at the Cheesecake Factory. I couldn't tell what OS was being used. I didn't think it was Windows, cause the fonts were rendered as bitmaps, and that would be lame for a Windows developer to do that. So, I got home and started looking through Google for some idea. |
