A few months ago I decided to walk away from my PC computers and jump into the world of Apple. I have to say I have been very satisfied, but the one thing that always bothered me was the mighty mouse that came with my Apple MacBook, but that is no longer the case now that I have picked up a wireless Microsoft Arc mouse.
The mighty mouse that came with my Apple laptop always seem to lock up, and took a lot of cleaning to get the tack ball working. I wanted to replace it with the new generation wireless Apple mouse, but was never able to get to my local Apple store in time to pick one up before they sold out.
So a friend suggested I run over to Best Buy and pick up a wireless Micorsoft Arc mouse, and I have to say it is just an amazing mouse.
Apple users in particular should look at this mouse. It has typical left and right main buttons, plus a button on the left side, and a button under the roller. Clicking the roller brings up your dashboard, which will definitely have you using your dashboard more than ever. The extra buttons can be configured to do all sorts of things, and really opens up a lot of options.
I have never been too happy with wireless mouse devices in the past, but I have to say, this one is absolutely perfect, and you will be more than happy with the upgrade.

The online high stakes world has been shocked lately by the recent dominance of a new high stakes play Isildur1, who has been racking up big gains against the world’s best poker players.
The last week I have been spending way too much time on FullTiltPoker watching Isildur1 and this “guy” is a machine. What makes his recent run through the high stakes poker room even more impressive is that Isildur1 only hit the scene a couple months ago, and the mystery behind the fact that no one knows his/her true identity as of yet.
Over the past week Isildur1 really took the world by storm by raking up sever multi-million dollar days, and now is the highest earning online poker player this year, unseating the former leader Patrik Antonius.
Currently Isildur1 has managed to rack up $5.4 million this year, around $300K above former leader Patrik Antonius after he managed to pull a little under 600K from Antonius last night.
Online phenom Tom “durrrr” Dwan has been the biggest victim of Isildur1’s recent gains. Dwan is one of the most feared internet players on FullTiltPoker, but Dwan has been owned recently by Isildur1 to around $X million, with one pot being won by Isildur1 coming in close to $700K, an online poker record.
Who is Isildur1? All we really know is that he is Sweedish, but why he is refusing to reveal himself remains a mystery. Tax reasons, maybe a pro that does not want to be named? No one really knows.
It is pretty amazing to watch these guys in action, with tens of thousands of dollars trading hands every 10 seconds.
If you want to watch these guys in action just download the FullTiltPoker software, and you can watch without having to set up a real account. The dollars changing hands is an impressive thing to witness.

I found it pretty shocking today to read that President Obama had won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
I like Obama, don’t get me wrong, but should he really have won the Peace Prize? Granted, he did not start the two wars that America is currently involved in, but he is now commander in chief, and not sure how someone leading two different wars could win the prize.
I think its more of an attempt to give him more credibility in future attempts at reaching out to the Muslim world and put a curb on nuclear expansion, and in that case I guess it makes sense to give him the prize, but whether or not he has done anything to merit the prize at this point is debatable at best, in my opinion at least.
What do you think? Should Obama have won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize?

It was just a couple weeks ago that Apple released its most recent iPhone upgrade 3.1 , and today it released 3.1.2.
The new update will not add any new features to your phone, but it will break you jailbreak. It is mostly aimed at fixing some bugs in the most recent update like the following:
- Resolves sporadic issue that may cause iPhone to not wake from sleep.
- Resolves intermittent issue that may interrupt cellular network services until restart.
- Fixes bug that could cause occasional crash during video streaming.

How about those Vikings! The Minnesota Vikings got a big victory today over San Fransisco and another big day for newly acquired quarterback Brett Favre.
When the Vikings picked up Favre during the off season, I was a bit weary on signing such an aged veteran, but so far he has been fantastic for the purple people eaters. Today Favre had a great day, going 24 for 46 passing and 301 total yards.
It was looking a bit close at the end, but Favre had a nice game ending drive to score with only a couple seconds left and lift the Vikings to a 3 and 0 record. A great start, let’s hope they keep it up!
In other NFL news, Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick made his first regular season appearance since he was forced out of the game for his role in a dog fighting ring. He didn’t do too much, only about 11 plays, and went 0-2 but did pick up 7 yards rushing. I hate what he did in the past , but I think he paid his dues and good to see my fellow Hokie on the field again.
