Strange but true…..

Dustin confirmed to us that his tweet is not a joke. He was told about it by a Twitter employee. Since Bieber is almost a perennial trending topic, I’m not surprised. Still, and given the 180 million unique visitors every month, that’s quite an achievement.

We are not at war with an alien race from the center of the Milky Way, but if we were, this is exactly what we would want it to look like.

So, what’s the “magic?” Well, if you own a wireless Apple Magic Mouse then your biggest complaint is without a doubt battery life. That means you’re either purchasing (and tossing) alkaline after alkaline or you’re constantly swapping in a fresh pair of rechargeables to keep the juice flowing.
