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.

For me personally, there really is no choice when it comes to online searches. I just love Google and I pretty much use it exclusively, but Yahoo! is still hanging in there with a pretty sizable chunk of the search engine market.
According to ComScore, Google captured 59.2% of the overall search engine market in February. This was a slight rise from January as Google extended its control from a previous 58.5% in January.
Since the beginning of Google I have been a fan, but I really started to appreciate it a couple years ago after I started work with AOL on BloggingStocks, and most recently my own stock page, Stock Investing. I really fell in love with the Google News page and I use that website more than almost any other site online. It is definitely the best resource I know of for finding breaking news on just about any company I am looking at.
Here are how the other major search engines ranked:
Google : 59.2%
Yahoo! : 21.6%
Microsoft: 9.6%
AOL : 4.9%
It is a bit disappointing for me to see AOL so low, but then again I don’t ever use AOL for searching so I am not helping the matter either. Having said that, when it comes to finding stock prices, and market news I always head to AOL Money & Finance, which I honestly think is the best performing money page out there.
For Google… congratulations… it’s good to be king!
