The good
Swiping back and forth through your browser history beats clicking or keyboarding
Momentum scrolling is extremely well-implemented
No place for palm cheese to be deposited
Pleasing heft
Tracking

The bad
Not the most ergonomically pleasing mouse
Occasionally interprets movement as a swipe
Secondary-click implementation could be better

The ugly
No support for Exposé and Dashboard

"The good
Swiping back and forth through your browser history beats clicking or keyboarding - well sure, but its not like apple has invented a feature that doesn't already exist on every other mouse in the market, except with the use of buttons
Momentum scrolling is extremely well-implemented - agreed
No place for palm cheese to be deposited - huh?
Pleasing heft
Tracking

The bad
Not the most ergonomically pleasing mouse - It's no logitech but its manageable
Occasionally interprets movement as a swipe - While I haven't had that exact problem, I have had an annoying problem in photoshop where it would think a movement was a scroll and scroll my canvas off screen when i'm in fullscreen mode
Secondary-click implementation could be better - Agreed but its not as much as a problem for me since I was already accustomed to the mighty mouse

The ugly
No support for Exposé and Dashboard - I think that really sucks so I've had to resort to setting hot spots for bottom left/right corners of my screen for expose and dashboard."

He states earlier in the article that the Mighty Mouse's scroll ball frequently jammed up with dust and dirt and "palm cheese"

I haven't had any issues with the mighty mouses scroll wheel getting dirty but it does get an awful lot of dust and gunk on the base of the mouse.

Think there's any truth to the rumor of an iMac redesign before Christmas?

It would fit roughly with the average timeframe between updates, and there was that leaked memo at Apple about a "late 2011" release. It just seems odd to not hear any speculation about it if it's legitimately potentially on the horizon.

That'd be out of character for apple wouldn't it?

I thought their policy was to do redigns shortly after school starts and after Christmas so the holiday and back-to-shoppers clear out inventory.

I'm eyeing that 13" MBP, but I have a feeling they're going to get a major redesign in the next 6-8 months. I like the current design, but kinda wish the current model had USB 3.0.

If I were patient, I would wait it out. But I'm not, so....
