Global Link unveiled a new concept mouse at Compudex in Taipei. This new design allows you to strap it to your finger and use almost any surface.

No information (yet) on pricing or availability, but stay tuned to NerdGrind.

With the video game market at a consistent multi-billion tier, it’s no surprise that the Mouse will invest more into the biz after such runaway successes like the Kingdom Hearts series.  It appears that Disney will focus on DS and Wii development as it establishes into a software juggernaut.

Disney has also shown interest in creating an online world along the lines of Second Life, but their core business for the immediate future will be promoting (read: milk) existing franchises, such as Pirates of the Caribbean.

Whether or not we see Donald and Goofy frag each other FPS-style remains to be seen, but one could only hope–or not.

Well, not exactly, but if you had pockets as wide and deep as Sir William Gates, then you could probably squeeze one of these things in there.  At the All Things Digital Conference 2007, Microsoft pulled the table cloth and revealed to the world its new "revolutionary" surface computing device christened Milan, which is bound to change how we casually drink coffee and read magazines and eventually distract us from such trivial activities.  Running a modified version of Vista, the Milan focuses on touch screen gestures using the best input device available, the human hand–no mouse or keyboard required.

Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of Milan will stifle any ordinary Joe from getting one of these babies, but expect to see them in the commercial arena, from casinos to Internet kiosks to a prequel to Minority Report. The possibilities are endless. 

At last, we finally have an official Microsoft product to place our other beloved gadgets. 

Check out the Interactive Brainstorming Table which looks very similar.

Picking up where the Vacanti mouse left off, Australian performance artist Stelarc went through with his plans to implant a cell-cultivated ear beneath the skin of his forearm earlier this year, and he’s now showing off the results for the world to squirm at. Stelarc apparently isn’t satisfied with his newfound appendage just yet, however, and is reportedly planning another surgery to give the ear "more definition." What’s more, he’s also hoping to implant a microphone inside the ear that’ll use a Bluetooth transmitter to, you guessed it, broadcast what it hears over the Internet.

We can’t say that Genius’ latest laser mouse is apt to cause any cancellation emails to start flying over those recently ordered Obsidians, but the Traveler 515 Laser does a fair job in the specs department to make up for its vanilla looks. Similar to Saitek’s critter, this pointing device boasts a touch-sensitive OptoWheel scroll area, right and left click buttons, Flip 3D and Smart IE hotkeys for Vista users, Turbo Scroll for blowing past those incredibly long patent filings, an adjustable 800 / 1,600 DPI laser, and compatibility with OS X and most Windows flavors. Additionally, this device is said to play nice with both righties and southpaws alike, and while looks may not be everything, we imagine that this one will end up priced a tad lower than its dashing competitor in order to compensate in the attractivity arena.
