Yo Bacillus, me and friends we put all the ben into good cars and new Apple products because is top notch we appreciate good quality and, take note: fameles likes the bling u know what i mean dud? Btw what its fiat? U mean if i have faith? Oh yes I have i read the good Book.
You cannot seriously be claiming that having a drawer of old USB mice is the solution to a poor Apple design that prevents mouse use while charging.
The charging port needs to be on the bottom because you'd feel the charge port with your fingers/palm if it was on the sides or top of the mouse, and the mouse is too thin for a port on the front/back. Apple doesn't want to pollute their clean mouse design with an obvious port you'd feel, so I'm not sure how you could design it to charge and use it at the same time?
If briefly using a backup mouse is too burdensome for you, then you can get a full day's charge (~9 hrs) from plugging the Apple Mouse in for literally 2 minutes. Then at day's end just plug it in again before you leave, which will give you several week's worth of charge when full, IIRC.
Hopefully where you are you're allowed a 2 minute break at least. Here in Washington state, USA we're allowed a 15 minute break for every 4 hours worked (yes, we're slackers like that
) which is enough charge for almost a week's mouse use.

Just wanted to ask is the book primarily text or are there a good many quality images throughout. I ask as I usually read books on an e-reader which isn’t great for images. So if it’s mainky just text I’ll buy it digitally and if not I’ll get the hard copy.
Thanks
Cute, but you're talking about a voluntary work pause. Unfortunately, mice rarely die just at the moment when a break is available
If you're a customer rep on the phone, or IT needing to get a server back online, there is no free time to take. "Please standby, I'm using an Apple mouse and everything must wait while I charge it enough to finish what we're doing!"
Granted, it's not a lot of time, but it's still time that could cost you dearly.
It's typical Apple form over function, and to heck with the user's needs.
Cheers!
Why is it a poor design? Consider the old Mighty Mouse with replaceable batteries. It too was unusable while the batteries were being replaced. And in the time it takes to replace those batteries the Magic Mouse can receive a good amount of charge.
Is there something about the 20% warning, or the 10% warning hours before the mouse dies that doesn’t tip you off?Cute, but you're talking about a voluntary work pause. Unfortunately, mice rarely die just at the moment when a break is available
Just finished the book. Found it very boring. There are like three stories, and he tries to turn each into a life lesson by shoehorning in citations to football speeches and other stuff. It’s all filler.
