People can sometimes go on a little about their particular technology fetish. Be it Apple, Blackberry, Palm, Windows, its nice to see some passion out there.
One thing is always sure to sell though, and that is well considered design. I’ve posted briefly about this before (http://moses.net.nz/2007/12/20/everything-coming-up-apples/) when I got my Mac. Here’s a short follow up though.
It had to happen, but after almost exactly 5 months the batteries in my keyboard put up their virtual hands and I had to replace them. Not bad really. The Mini told me it was going to happen, and pestered me a little, but at least it was able to explain the outages I was experiencing.
Still, that’s not the cool design bit.
Today my Mighty Mouse batteries also needed replacing. Did the Apple engineers purposefully design into the bluetooth keyboard and mouse some power usage that see’s them both need new batteries at the same time?!?!
The logic part of my brain says that would be near enough to impossible to not even warrant a thought. But you have to admit its a pretty awesome coincidence from a company that doesn’t do things by accident.
