The Mug Mouse

What happens when you combine a computer mouse and a cup of ‘joe? 2nd degree burns? Nope. You get the Mug Mouse, a conceptual design that’s meant to make you slow down when using your computer.

Simply fill the cup with coffee, then plug it into your USB port (or is it the other way around?) and you can sip your Maxwell House between mouse clicks…

sony management team greatest quotes

filed under: video games

With the impending release of the Sony Playstation 3, I thought I might take a moment to reflect on some of the finer points made by Sony’s management team regarding the PS3:
