One button, two buttons, three buttons, ten million buttons. Beige, black, white, red with polka dots. Glow-in-the-dark, see through. Right-handed, left-handed, both. Vertical for RSI patients, trackballs for weirdoes like myself, Apple's puck mouse for sado-masochists. The ubiquitous mouse comes in all possible shapes, forms, sizes, and colours, but according to our friend The Analyst, the glorious age of the mouse is coming to and end. Do we believe The Analyst?

Yeah, me neither. But the facial recognition thing sounds kind of interesting, though not sure how that would work... just move my eyes where I want the pointer to go, but I have a stigmatism so the pointer would be jumping around the screen like a biznitch. Plus, I guess I'd have to pick my nose or something to click and drag
