    Apple has released a number of new products over the last few days, but sadly none of them are specific to MacBook users. The team over at DestopReview.com has all of the details on the new 27-inch Cinema Displays, 12-core Mac Pros, Core i7 iMacs and more!

    After reading the review on the Magic Trackpad, I'd still rather get a mouse than a touchpad for $69.99.

    Having tried a mouse with my Mac Mini and absolutely hating it, I'm glad to see the Magic Trackpad. Stupid that I have to give money to the company that caused the problem in the first place, and stupid that it doesn't work well with Windows.

    Still though...it'll be useful for me.

    Let's be clear on one thing here. It doesn't work well with Windows because of Microsoft. It does not work well with Windows because of Apple.

    Greg, the only way I like using a mouse with the Mini in OS X is by using a Microsoft mouse. Their drivers in OS X allow for Windows-style cursor acceleration; the native OS X style drives me insane.
