When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.

Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
Mouse technology is an ongoing game of leap frog. Every so often a new mouse product arrives which introduces some kind of new technology – how much better can the ‘mouse’ be improved? Apple’s ‘Mighty Mouse‘ for the Macintosh, was oddly innovative by re-positioning the old ‘mouse ball’ on the TOP of the mouse to allow for additional navigation options. However, after a couple of months of use, the good old little mouse ball on the TOP will stop functioning in the UPward direction and it is next to impossible to clean it to get it working properly again. Until Apple figures out a way to resolve this sticky ball problem with the Mighty Mouse, I am trapped into hunting for a better mouse.
Microsoft markets no less than 30 mouse products (meese? mices?), only several of which are labeled as compatible with Macintosh. The new Microsoft Wireless Explorer Mouse with BlueTrack Technology* is available in two sizes – a big one just called the Microsoft Wireless Explorer Mouse (to which I may refer to in this review as the ‘desktop’ model) and a smaller lighter ‘cousin’ for traveling laptop users labelled as the Microsoft Wireless Explorer MINI Mouse. With its virtual tours, photos and specs, the Microsoft Mouse webpage provides a thorough description of all products, but nothing replaces a ‘hands on’test drive.
After taking the Microsoft Wireless Explorer Mouse out of the plastic bubble packaging, I installed the rechargeable NMHi battery, plugged the little USB receiver into a vacant USB slot in my Macintosh and the wireless Explorer Mouse immediately scurried into operation. Using 2.4 GHz wireless technology, (*NOT Bluetooth technology) the wireless Explorer Mouse is able communicate quite well with the Mac once configured in the Apple Mouse Preferences Panel. With Leopard 10.5.6 there was no need to install the intellimouse drivers, so things were off to a great start. The Wireless Explorer Mouse (s) seems capable of doing whatever Apple’s Mighty Mouse can do - Scroll North and South as well as East and West. The wireless Explorer Mouse can do a lot more too, once you configure your mouse preferences to fulfill your personal needs.
Rodent Alert! - this mouse is primarily designed as A RIGHT HANDED mouse. If you use the wireless Explorer Mouse in the LEFT hand, it will work, but it may take some getting used to as the molded edges feel more naturally oriented for use in the Right hand. I am a left handed person, but I happen to use my mouse with my RIGHT hand so I wasn’t feeling short handed. It is the bulky size and additional weight of the wireless Explorer Mouse desktop model that is something I need to get used to after handling the smaller and lighter styled Apple Mighty mouse for the last couple years.
Microsoft Wireless Explorer Mini Mouse with BlueTrack Technology
When laser technology was introduced, it was a welcome improvement over the old Ball Style Mouse but the Red beamed laser had it limitations and did not track well on all surfaces. So the search for better beam technology has continued. I am pleased to report that this *BlueTrack laser system which Microsoft unabashedly advertises to ‘work on any surface’, tests out pretty good. ‘BlueTrack works more places than ever before, including on granite countertops, carpet—even on a wood table or a rough, unfinished park bench’.Except for mirror or glass surfaces, ‘BlueTrack’ laser technology is a positive advancement and I have found the it to be very solid – Throw away your Mouse Pads – Yaaaaay!
So here is where I am trapped – I almost like these ‘Meeses to pieces’. I like the smaller size and lighter feel of the wireless Explorer MINI Mouse but I like the recharging features of the wireless Explorer Mouse DESKTOP. The wireless Explorer Mouse desktop version includes the NmHi battery and charging base while the wireless Explorer Mini Mouse comes with a handy Neoprene travel case an Alkaline Battery which supposedly provides 4 months or more of service. Each wireless Explorer Mouse model has a slot on the bottom surface to snap in the miniature ‘USB Receiver’ when traveling, keeping all the little components together. Maybe Microsoft should offer a specially priced Wireless Explorer Dual Pack to give us the best of both worlds.
The mighty chase for me has ended for now. Until Apple comes out with a solution for the mighty mouse, faulty ball issue, I will be sticking to the Microsoft Wireless Explorer Mouse to do my Apple Computing.

*Note: BlueTrack laser system which tracks the mouses’ movements on the horizontal surface has nothing at all to do with the Bluetooth technology used by some other companies such as Apples wireless Mighty Mouse, to communicate with the computer itself. All this ‘blue’ talk is a little confusing.
