50 years ago, Douglas Engelbart’s ‘Mother of All Demos’ changed personal technology forever

TwitterFacebook

Imagine someone demonstrating a jet plane 15 years before Kitty Hawk. Imagine someone demonstrating a smartphone 15 years before the first cellular networks were even launched. Imagine someone demonstrating a controlled nuclear chain reaction 15 years before Einstein formulated e=mc2.

On a crisp, overcast, and breezy Monday afternoon in San Francisco on December 9, 1968, before an SRO audience of more than 2,000 slack-jawed computer engineers, a soft-spoken engineer named Douglas Engelbart held the first public demonstration of word processing, point-and-clicking, dragging-and-dropping, hypermedia and hyperlinking, cross-file editing, idea/outline processing, collaborative groupware, text messaging, onscreen real-time video teleconferencing, and a weird little device dubbed a “mouse” — the essentials of a graphical user interface (GUI) 15 years before the first personal computers went on sale.

Logitech MX Vertical review: Flipping the mouse on its side is hardly an upgrade

TwitterFacebook
Logitech MX Vertical
$99.99
The Good

Futuristic design • Great connectivity through Bluetooth or USB

The Bad

Right and left clicker sit too high • Uncomfortable to use

The Bottom Line

The Logitech MX Vertical flips a traditional mouse on its side. The idea has some benefits, but they don’t make up for a bumpy user experience.

Mashable Score3.5
Cool Factor4.0
Learning Curve3.0
Performance4.0
Bang for the Buck3.0

Logitech is flipping the design of the computer mouse on its side with its MX Vertical Advanced Ergonomic mouse.

The idea is to re-invent the mouse, at the same time making in forward-looking and more useful, I guess. It also happens to look like an enlarged garlic clove. Read more…

Rumored full mouse and keyboard support for Xbox One could change the gaming landscape

Microsoft may be readying a new weapon that could shift the balance in the interminable console wars: the mouse. Wait, you say, didn’t they promise that years ago, and aren’t there peripherals already available? Kind of. But going whole hog into PC-style controls allows Microsoft to create powerful synergies with Windows, performing a flanking maneuver against arch-rival Sony.

This mouse riding on a cop’s windshield is public enemy no. 1

TwitterFacebook

A MOUSE. ON A WINDSHIELD.

Alameda County Sheriff’s Office in California reported a frankly terrifying attempted carjacking on Sunday. Read on if you dare.

It seems sports hooligans come in all shapes and sizes. Luckily Deputy Dennington got away without any major contusions and, indeed, with his life.

What are they going to do when they discover the mouse is really driving the car under the officer’s hat?

Lexip’s joystick-mouse combo is a strange but promising hybrid

 While at CES I try to avoid getting bogged down by dozens of random gadgets, and this time I mostly succeeded — but the mouse reviewer in me was intrigued by Lexip’s new gaming mouse that’s also a sort of floating joystick. It’s a strange but cool idea, and although the learning curve is high, I can see some hardcore gamers and productivity fiends getting a lot of use… Read More

How an ‘ergonomic’ mouse saved my wrist and made me hate my life

TwitterFacebook

Ergonomic peripherals — a fancy term for more comfortable computer accessories — are the next big thing. Everyone seems to be using standing desks these days, and more ergonomic mice and keyboards sneak into bestseller lists every year. These products are designed to promote your health and comfort, and to avoid Carpal Tunnel, repetitive strain injuries and other common office afflictions. 

Enter the Evoluent VerticalMouse 4, a mouse which purportedly “avoids forearm twisting for comfort and good health.”

Yeah, that picture you’re looking at is not photoshopped, and your eyes aren’t deceiving you. They literally took a mouse and flipped it on its side.  Read more…
