Mouse with scraper, to scrape off sweat spots.

Solution:

Its obvious. Your poor mouse is nervous and as a result, it sweats.

How exactly are you using your mouse to make it so anxious?

The little sliding bumpers on the bottom of my mouse naturally collect all that gunk off my plastic mat. Out of sight, out of mind. Until I flip over the mouse anyway...but why would I need to do that?

Isn't it obvious? The poor little mouse is afraid Skyduck will fondle its ball.

"Skybuck Flying" hath wroth:

Use an anti-perspiration product on your hands. They can be purchased at your local supermarket or pharmacy. It may be mixed with the deodorants, which might also be a useful solution. If these can prevent your arm pits from sweating and stinking, it should work equally well on your palms.

Do you have one of these mice?

If so, it's leaking.

Use a tablecloth and an optical mouse.

An optical mouse is bad idea. Although it might help solve the slippery mouse ball issue, an optical mouse is a security problem. Inside the mouse is a small CMOS imager capable of being used as a camera. I've always suspected that todays 40MByte (compressed) mouse drivers is really spy software that sends pictures of everything the mouse sees to various government acronyms. Why else would the driver need to be that huge?

Examples:

Even the flat bed scanners cannot be trusted:

Awesome. But why would a bunch of Russians want images of my tablecloth?

John

You know the NSA has figured out how to take a picture through your monitor?

Wow! I saw a monitor get xrayed at the airport. Is that the same ? :)

Easy. Many technical discussions are performed at restaurants using the table cloth as scratch paper. I know of at least one IETF standard, and two business plans, that were originally documented on a restaurant tablecloth. That's mostly because none of the participants are sufficiently organized to bring paper to a fancy dinner or had any intentions of discussing business. Allowing such tablecloths to fall into the hands of the competition would be a serious breach of security.

It's not just the image of the tablecloth that might be compromised. I find it interesting that both Apple and PC mice now come in very transparent plastic packages. There's no aesthetic or technical reason to do this. However, it does make it easier to take photos of the user through the case. No doubt this originated as an attempt by marketing to obtain more accurate user statistics. Unfortunately, this feature is certainly easy to abuse. Beware of clear case optical mice.

It looks like they have perfected their "Through the monitor" lobotomy process, as well. :(

lol :)

The television networks have been using that technique for decades now.

John

And it works well! Look at all those people who think they write good TV scripts. :(

You are so full of s*it.

More paranoid bullshit.
