Apple refreshes Mac desktops
This morning when I wrote a post about Apple's new Magic Trackpad, I knew it would be a little controversial. After all, I basically said that it was the beginning of the end of the mouse -- a device that everyone reading the post probably still uses for a good chunk of their computing on a daily basis. But I didn't expect what I said to be that controversial. To the point where we have to declare the comment section to be a war zone. I mean come on, it's a mouse. Does anyone really think it's going to be the main way we interact with computers in the future? Let me be clear: I'm not saying trackpads and other multi-touch surfaces are going to replace the mouse overnight. Of course they're not. I'm also not saying that the Magic Trackpad specifically is going to kill the mouse. Of course it's not -- it's Mac-only, that's still a small percentage of overall computer users. What I am saying is that the Magic Trackpad is the device that is signaling the end of the mouse era. It's a harbinger, if you will.
