I’ve been seeing this picture here and there for a while but I just assumed it was a parody. I really don’t know what to say. Cramming a whole fricking keyboard onto a mouse and calling it ‘innovation’. I suppose I should expect this sort of lunacy from the freetards, but they still manage to surprise me.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – “You can’t replace talent with enthusiasm.”
Yeah, that ones been making the rounds. I particularly like how it is for OO.o yet it has a joystick. Wtf are you going to do in word processor with a joystick?
Designed by committee, no doubt.
Not even gamers are going to want this POS! No actual thought went into this. Someone just said “well if a 5 button mouse was better than a 3 button mouse…then a 35 button mouse MUST be better than a 5 button mouse!
I find it hilarious that even the OpenOffice people want nothing to do with it and pressured the company into renaming the thing.
It’s a shame, I thought it perfectly represented the unique pleasures of using OpenOffice.
I know you mentioned somewhere that you really hate “captchas” (for some reason). But have you looked at your PieBox lately? Captchas aren’t so bad, are they? What’s your beef with them? i ask ’cause I really would like to know.
I added a “roll your own,” of my own design, on my site and it eliminated comment spam instantly, at least 99% (if not 100%). Can’t remember the last time I saw one get through.
The funniest part is somebody drew this shit up and somebody else looked at it and said “Fund it!”
I’m sure it’s useful to some people. Mine has 5 buttons that I use regularly, as well as “media” buttons so it can be used as a remote control. I <3 it.

Adding a fuckload of buttons to a mouse certainly isn't "innovative", though.
