Com in between catching up on the latest TMZ gossip and a few minutes of doing actual work in Google Docs
As is often the case
These gains come with loss
Too. The Mighty Mouse had a clickable scroll wheel and two squeeze sensors on the side that could

The editors didn't like
Doesn’t work with PCs
Slender design may not work for everyone.
Multi-Touch features work with Macs only. Mouse isn't large enough to fill the natural curve of your hand.
The Magic Mouse can be a bit uncomfortable for some.
Power swipers and those with large hands could find the mouse difficult to handle.
Terribly uncomfortable to hold
Almost impossible side-to-side swiping
Install directions could be clearer
Bloated 100MB drivers
No rechargeable batteries
Packing tape left debris
*
Awkwardly narrow profile
Doesn't work with Windows PCs
Laser sensor not as advanced as Darkfield and BlueTrack competition
Horizontal swipes don't feel as natural as thumb buttons
Can't customize swiping functions
No pinching.
Lack of Exposé and Spaces support will force your hand to the keyboard more often
Learning curve necessary
No pinching and pulling to adjust zoom
Low profile may not be comfortable for bigger hands

Abstract: When we first heard Apple were trying their hand at producing another mouse, we harked back to the last good mouse Apple produced – and concluded they’ve never done a good one. It astounds us that a company so focused on design and with money to burn,...

Abstract: In what has come to be Apple's trademark, the Magic Mouse's minimalist design is quite beautiful from an aesthetics standpoint, especially compared to the black plastic lumps opposite most desktops. Featuring a single, clear white plastic surface sitting ...
Abstract: Mmmm...MacBook Pro with Retina Display. It's a keeper, that's for sure. Apple pulled out all the stops when putting together their latest, greatest notebook, with an unbelievably sharp display, super-slim design and top-notch hardware updates that incl...
Slick design; vertical-scrolling functionality works like a physical scroll wheel; pairs easily with Mac computers; equally suitable for left- and right-handed users
Awkwardly narrow profile; doesn't work with Windows PCs; laser sensor not as advanced as the Darkfield and BlueTrack competition; you can't customise the swiping functions; no pinch-to-zoom functionality
Apple's wireless Magic Mouse looks sleek and has multi-touch controls, but it's better as a portable laptop companion than a full-sized desktop accessory. The swiping gestures are useful for Web browsing and media playback, but the awkwardly narrow de...
Abstract: It's about time. For years, Apple has embraced aesthetic simplicity over practicality with its peripherals. Single-button mice! Yes, we know Apple hasn't made single-button mice for a long time, but why in the world did Steve Jobs ever think that was a...
Abstract: Apple’s Magic Mouse is the first mouse to support so-called multi-touch: in addition to moving it physically to move the pointer on-screen, you can swipe or run a finger along the top surface of the mouse to get it to do specific things.Unfortunately i...
Too thin to hold comfortably; not all multi-touch gestures work well; pricey
It looks lovely and the multi-touch surface is clever, but the Magic Mouse isn't as versatile as a button-bedecked alternative, and we found it too thin to use for more than a few minutes at a time. Your mileage may vary, so try before you buy. ...
This is a nice idea and one when we heard the news very tempted by. While touch certainly is the future of the mouse, the Magic Mouse isn't that future just yet...
