A warmer story about the demise of the computer mouse

Touch screens are useful for hand held devices, but think about the RSI (repetitive strain injury) one would experience if we did not have the computer mouse. Can you imagine reaching over the desktop to touch screen all your functions? I'd be bed-ridden in about a week! I think the warmer thought about this mouse story ending is this.... the computer mouse is here to stay for a very long time for all desk top computer users.

Death of the computer mouse? - Wii & iPhone show a different future

By Dave Parrack
from Tech Blorge

There are an estimated one billion people hooked up to the Internet around the world, and the vast majority of those people will use a computer to do so. And what comes hand in hand with a computer? The humble mouse, a peripheral essential to doing almost anything on a computer, but which is very rarely cited for being the marvel that it is. And according to some, the mouse could be on its way out.

This year marks the 40 year anniversary for the mouse, with Dr Douglas Engelbart inventing it while working for the Stanford Research Institute in 1968. Unfortunately for him, he never received a penny for his invention, and the patent ran out in 1987, just before the computer revolution really hit the mainstream.

At this point in time, the mouse is utterly indispensable, being used by millions of people all around the world. However, there are the beginnings of some new technological advances around, which have lead some to predict the death of the mouse in the next 3-5 years. According to the BBC, a Gartner analyst, thinks new ways of interacting with computers, and technology, will take over in the very near future, and make the mouse completely obsolete.

Cold Hand Pain: Warm mouse, heated mouse pad & heated computer keyboard

Mouse Hand Warmer & Warm Mouse & Warm Mouse Pad & Heated Computer Keyboard

Cold hands when using a computer are a common symptom for many people. People who use nicotine and alcohol report having cold hands because blood vessels open less when nicotine or alcohol is present in the blood. People who suffer from poor circulation of the hands experience cold, numb hands and fingers when they are using the computer.

Poor ciculation may or may not be associated with a medical condition. The medical conditions known to have symptoms of cold hands are: Buerger's disease, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Arthritis, Raynaud's phenomenon, de Quervain's tenosynovitis syndrome, Tendonitis, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Diabetes, and any condition affecting the circulatory system causing poor circulation.

Although the medical conditions are treated, at times, the medication itself causes side effects and cold hands. Whether you suffer from a medical condition, or have cold hands without any medical diagnosis, the task of using the computer with cold hands is not comfortable. As a matter of fact, it can be very painful. Painful cold hands and numb fingers make it difficult to use the computer mouse and the compute keyboard. The only relief for cold hands is to stop using the computer, and in today's technology-dependent environment that's not a viable option.

There are ergonomic computer work aids designed to provide heat for computer users with cold hands. The heated USB computer gadgets are the Warm Mouse, Heated Mouse Pad, and Heated Computer Keyboard. These products use infrared heat to deliver soothing, relaxing warmth to the computer users frigid hands.

The USB warm computer gadgets use infrared heat. Infrared heat removes toxins from the blood and improves blood circulation. Studies show 20-30 minutes of infrared heat daily can have positive results. Infrared heat is known to heal stiff joints and sore muscles making it ideal for many people with arthritis. Infrared heat penetrates deep through the skin's layers through the blood expanding blood vessels to enable blood flow. When blood flows easily, poor circulation is improved. Poor circulation is most-likely the top cause of cold hands and fingers.

Not all people suffer with cold hands when using the computer, but if you do, or if you know someone who does, using infrared heat computer gadgets may solve the cold hand problem. For therapeutic cold mouse hand pain relief, use the warm mouse and warm mouse pad inside a mouse hand warmer blanket pouch. The heat generated from the warm mouse and heated mouse pad is insulated inside the blanket pouch creating a perfectly warm mouse hand environment. This trio of hand warmers is ideal for anyone who has cold hands when they use the computer. Plus, it's an economical and energy-efficient source of warmth for computer users.

Nothing ventured is nothing gained. When we have a sore back or stiff neck, we reach for the heating pad. Now, when we have a sore hand, wrist, fingers or stiff joints, we can reach for the warm mouse, warm mouse pad and warm keyboard pag. Plus, slipping the warm mouse and heated mouse pad inside the mouse hand warmer blanket is an added feature and creates a multi-functional ergonomic work space. These items deliver healing infrared heat to our aching, sore and cold computer hands. No need to suffer while browsing the Net or surfing your favorite website. USB heated computer gadgets deliver quick warming relief from the computer to your fingertips!

A warmer mouse for Raynaud's cold hands

Raynaud's patients report cold hands and discoloration to the fingertips. When poor circulation makes it difficult to work, try infrared heated computer aids for therapeutic relief. There's no known cure for Raynaud's.

Raynaud's Disease - Treatments and Therapies
by FRANCIS ADAM

Raynaud's disease and Raynaud's phenomenon are rare disorders that affect blood vessels. These disorders are marked by brief episodes of vasospasm (narrowing of the blood vessels). Raynaud's is a condition in which the blood supply to the extremities, usually the fingers and toes, but sometimes also the ears and nose, is interrupted. This disorder is characterised by episodic attacks, called vasospastic attacks, that cause the blood vessels in the fingers and toes to constrict. Raynaud's syndrome can occur on its own, or it can be secondary to another condition such as scleroderma or lupus. Raynaud’s disease occurs more frequently in women than in men. Although it can occur at any age. It is estimated that 4 - 5% of the United States population is affected.

Causes

Doctors don't completely understand the cause of Raynaud's attacks, but blood vessels in the hands and feet appear to overreact to cold temperatures or stress.

When your body is exposed to cold temperatures, your extremities lose heat. Your body slows down blood supply to your fingers and toes to preserve your body's core temperature. Your body specifically reduces blood flow by narrowing the small arteries under the skin of your extremities. In people with Raynaud's, this normal response is exaggerated. Stress causes a similar reaction to cold in the body, and likewise the body's response may be exaggerated.

The symptoms include several cyclic color changes:

1. When exposed to cold temperatures, the blood supply to the fingertips, toes, nose, and earlobes of Raynaud's disease patients is reduced and the skin turns pale or white (called pallor) and becomes cold and numb. 2. When the oxygen supply is depleted, the skin colour turns blue (called cyanosis).

Treatment

There is no known way to prevent the development of Raynaud's disease. Further, there is no known cure for this condition. Therefore, avoidance of the trigger is the best supportive management available. Most cases of primary Raynaud's disease can be controlled with proper medical care and avoidance.

Many people are able to find relief by simply adjusting their lifestyles. Affected individuals need to stay warm, and keep their hands and feet well covered in cold weather. Layered clothing, scarves, heavy coats, heavy socks, and mittens under gloves are suggested because gloves alone allow heat to escape. It is also recommended that patients cover or close the space between their sleeves and mittens. Indoors, they should wear socks and comfortable shoes. Smokers should quit as nicotine will worsen the problem. Avoid the use of vibrating tools as well.

Non-medication treatment:

Biofeedback has been demonstrated to be safe and effective for some individuals. This is a technique designed to help a person gain control over involuntary body functions, such as skin temperature, heart rate, or blood pressure. Biofeedback training is necessary and several methods are available.

Odie's Day at Work
by Heather Seden

Occasionally I will take my lovebird Odie to work. I haven't taken him for probably six months, because he had just gotten too unruly. He would spend all of his time walking all over my hands while I tried to type.

I decided today, now that he had gotten a little older, to try it again. He did much better. He spent lots of time sitting down on my "mouse hand."

********************

We think Odie is a beautiful Mouse Warmer!

USB Heated Mouse

by Luigi Lugmayr

I am not sure why you would need a heated mouse. Maybe if you happen to sit inside an igloo on the North Pole and read I4U NEWS such a mouse comes in handy.

Thanko just released a heated mouse pad in Japan. More details about this warming USB gadget can be found on AkihabaraNews.

USB heated computer mouse produces infrared heat

Infrared heat has healing effects. Deep penetrating heat rays sooth aching muscles and relieve pain. ValueRays infrared computer gadgets add value to your everyday computer activities by providing relief to aching sore and cold hands. ValueRays Computer Devices are made with a carbon fiber. Carbon fibers generate infrared heat. The sun is a natural source of infrared heat. ValueRays USB warming computer gadgets heat with infrared heat without using the harmful UV rays of the sun.

Infrared Rays Heal. The sun's natural Infrared Rays are capable of penetrating deep into the human body where they elevate surface temperature and activate healthy body functions. The Far-infrared waves are a safe alternative to natural sun Infrared Rays and a form of light energy that heat objects by direct light conversion - a process to directly warm an object (warm mouse and warm mouse pad), not the surrounding air. Infrared heat rays from the warming mouse and warming mouse pad penetrate the hand, warm the muscles, tissues and dilate the blood arteries. The infrared heating process allows blood to flow more freely through the cold, painful, tense hand.

Question : MY mum feels numbness in her left hand which she finds uncomfortable and disturbing. I'm worried that this may be a symptom of bad blood circulation or some other health problem. What is your advice?


Answer : NUMBNESS is caused by altered sensory nerve functions. It can occur anywhere in the body, but is often felt in the hands, feet, arms or legs. It usually involves both the loss in the ability to move a particular area and sensations. These sensations, which occur without any associated stimulus, are called paresthesias. Other types of paresthesias include feelings of cold, warmth, burning, itching and skin crawling.

Your mum may need to check with a doctor to find out the underlying causes of her numbness which can be due to a lack of blood supply to the affected area, a vitamin B12 deficiency, diabetes, hypothyroidism, malnutrition, central nervous system disturbances and nerve injury.

Vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium and other nutrients may improve nerve function. The B vitamins are one of the most important nutrients for nerve health maintenance. They help increase the ability to repair body damage or injury. Calcium is beneficial in alleviating muscle cramps, pain and numbness in neck, shoulders, arms and legs. Magnesium also helps in reducing numbness and tingling symptoms.

Ginkgo has long been used to stimulate blood circulation and alleviate numbness. Self-massaging with an essential oil may be beneficial too. Stretching and exercising may improve the blood circulation. She should avoid doing a repetitive task for too long.

Geek Computer Gadgets Fix Nerd Cold-Hand Problem Fast

from Disney's animated movie "BOLT"

by Anna Miller

You don't have to be a NASA Rocket Scientist nerd or Disney Computer Artist geek to experience cold hands working at your computer. Sitting for long hours using a computer mouse can cause your mouse hand to get extremely cold, even if you are a simple stay-at-home or office-junkie computer nerd.

Many heavy computer user "nerds" suffer with a cold mouse hand as soon as the temperatures drop in their work space. It doesn't matter if it's winter or summer, if the work space is cold or drafty, a computer user's hand can become extremely cold. The most common occurrence of a cold hand is by people who sit for long hours at the computer. If a person uses the computer occasionally, or if they are naturally warm-blooded, they may not experience a cold mouse hand. It all depends upon the person, their work space conditions, and their medical history.

Several online forums have surveyed their members about the cold computer hand problem. The majority of responses indicate the cold hand problem is fairly common with the exception being laptop users who do not use a computer mouse when computing.

There's no specific medical condition for a cold mousing hand, but there are medical conditions with cold hand symptoms. The most common of the cold hand medical condition is "poor circulation." Poor circulation is most commonly caused by a progressive blocking of the arteries. Factors for developing poor circulation include a lack of physical activity, smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

The cold mouse hand problem can become very annoying because the longer a person sits and works at the computer, the colder the hand gets making the tips of the fingers and top of the hand numb. There are products on the market to address the cold hand problem which include both USB connected devices and earth-friendly devices requiring no electricity. Depending upon which device you want to use, it's wise to address the problem to relieve discomfort as you work. The only other option is to stop working, and that's not always possible when there are deadlines to meet and computer work to be completed.

The hand warmer geek gadgets available include mouse hand warmer blankets, heated mouse pads, heated mice and mouse hand warmer mousepads. The hand warmer computer gadgets range in price and cost little compared to the price you pay for not using them. Many of the computer geek gadgets to keep your mousing hand warm are available online. Do some online research prior to making a purchase to make sure the items you are buying fit your needs.

One such product designed specifically for computer users is a hand warmer blanket pouch. It is shaped like a pouch and holds a person's favorite mouse (optical or USB connected) and mouse pad, or it works as a covered mousepad with out the use of another mouse pad. It's made of a cozy fleece blanket material which insulates body heat as a person works. There are no cords to get tangled on the desk top because the hand blanket uses no electricity. It's earth friendly in today's energy-efficient world. It's available at many online stores, and not yet available at regular retail stores. So, if you are interested in obtaining a hand blanket, search Google to find online locations or go to one of these websites and search for a mouse hand warmer blanket - Amazon.com, Etsy.com and MadeInUSAforever.com.

Other computer geek gadgets designed to address the cold mouse hand problem require electricity and are also available online. The warming mouse, available in several colors, shapes and sizes, is a geek gadget that heats up after it's plugged in and stays warm until you turn it off. If you purchase an USB connected warming mouse, make sure it's ergonomic enough for your mouse hand. If the ergonomic shape is not suited for your mouse hand, you will end up with a sore mouse hand -- especially if you tend to spend long hours using a computer mouse. Plus, the USB connected heated mouse requires the computer user to manually turn off the mouse when finished using it or the mouse will stay heated and using electricity after you log off and shut down the computer. There's no heat regulator on the warming mouse, so get ready to have a very warm mousing experience. A person's body temp is about 98.6 degrees and most of the warming mice heat up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Another practical computer geek gadget designed specifically for the computer nerd's cold mouse hand is the USB connected warming mouse pad. If you currently use a metal gaming mousepad, it can become very cold during the winter months when heat is a virtue. Even the most common forms of rubber mouse pads become chilled in a cold work area or office space. So, if you decide to get an USB connected warming mouse pad, make sure the mousepad you purchase fits on your work area and the cords don't get tangled on your desk top. Many of the current USB connected mouse pads also incorporate an additional USB connection strip making them handy to plug in several computer gadgets. The one you choose, depends upon your likes and needs. Just be careful, there's a lot of junk out there, so buy from a reputable seller who stands behind their products, offers return policies and gives a refund if you are not happy with the purchase.

If you suffer with a cold computer hand and haven't taken appropriate action to relieve the problem, hopefully you will now. To learn more about how to keep your cold mouse hand warm search Google, Yahoo! or MSN. There are several blogs dedicated to the cold mouse hand condition. Regardless of the action you take, knowing relief is available may help the next time your mouse hand gets cold.

Your excuse to play with toys at work -- Road Mice

from Los Angeles Times


For every boy (or girl) who has grown up and wishes he (or she) could still push a model car around, here's an offering from Road Mice.

Yep, this is a wireless computer mouse that comes in a number of guises, such as Camaro, Charger, Corvette and Mustang. There's an especially cool police version of the Charger. Employing radio frequency and optical technologies, they work on Macs and PCs. The headlights illuminate, and there are right- and left-click buttons on the hood, on either side of the scroll wheel.

The products are the brainchild of Four Door Media Inc. Chief Executive Dan Cwieka and company President James Markey, who came up with the idea after first considering a car-shaped computer. The products were engineered and designed in Laguna Beach and manufactured in China.

Cwieka says the Road Mice have heft and feel good under the user's hand (and isn't this usually the problem with toy computer mice?). Still, procuring the licenses to re-create these popular models in mouse form was a challenge, Cwieka said. When asked why only American companies were currently represented, he said, "Many of the imports are too concerned about quality and are harder to convince."


He did say that he is in negotiations with Nissan and Infiniti and is hoping to get permission to include likenesses of the Nissan 350Z and GT-R and the Infiniti G35. There are also products in development that include characters from the Disney-Pixar film "Cars."

Four Door Media appears to be attracting plenty of interest from American car enthusiasts. Cwieka said early news of the Road Mice was leaked when Corvette club enthusiast bloggers found Four Door Media's unpublished marketing materials online. "We were planning our launch for Oct. 15 and now we're getting calls every day for those Corvette Z06 mice."

The Dodge Charger SRT, Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford Mustang GT and Chevy Camaro will be part of that initial launch. Others, including the Dodge Viper, Ford GT40 and Chrysler 300C, will be available by Christmas.

The Road Mice go for $44.95 apiece and for the time being can be purchased only from Four Door Media online. The company says it is in talks with retailers and TV shopping networks for future sales.

Car enthusiasts may appreciate the individual vehicle identification number and registration certificate accompanying each product. There is also an option to buy "insurance," assuring you a replacement vehicle for $19 if your device is destroyed, stolen or broken -- "No questions asked," Cwieka says.

So far, there's no word on whether the Road Mice can be customized to drive -- er-- work faster.

Blue fish hand warmer mouse pad thing

from Crunch Gear

Dammit. I might have to order one of these adorable fish warmy hand mouth things. My hands get mighty cold in the winter thanks to a drafty home office and my slightly below-average circulation, so I could probably use one of these. You plug the fish into a USB port and feed your mouse cord through the fish’s derriere and, after about ten minutes, you’ll be wrist-deep in 107.6 degrees of hot, sweaty fish-mouth.

Yes, 107.6 degrees. That sounds kind of dangerous, no? But how dangerous could it possibly be to have your hand atop a $22 USB-powered hotplate stitched inside of a fish made out of cotton and wool?

___________

Commets: You may be disappointed by the quality of construction and its functionality. We purchased the item pictured above. The size is for a child's hand. There's very little room for movement. Plus, the item heats too much. It actually makes your hand feel very uncomfortable using it for any length of time. We were not happy with the quality of fabric or construction. Plus, in the long run, it looks a little goofy on a desk top. It's great for a child if you trust a child is mature enough to handle an electronic item like this. For adults, we recommend the Mouse Hand Warmer in gray fleece with a techie, modern design.

USB Warming Mouse II: The Hand Warming Mouse Strikes Back

from GearLog

A while ago I described my plight working in a cold, cold office and wanting to keep my hands warm. What was the remedy? The USB Warming Mouse, which promised to keep my mouse hand at a toasty 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanko, the manufacturer of the USB Warming Mouse, has upped the ante and released a new generation of hand-warming mice.

The USB Warmer Mouse II comes in four different colors; black, white, yellow, or red, and has a new, ergonomic design that's much more attractive than the previous generation. The mouse is also a little warmer now than before, warming slowly over several minutes and topping off at about 113 degrees Fahrenheit. The on/off switch is still there, so the mouse can be turned off during the warm months, and still sports an 800 dpi optical sensor and padded feet for precision. By and large, the specs have largely remained the same, but the mouse has undergone an aesthetic makeover to make it much more attractive as well as warm and functional.

Comments:
The mouse above is not ergonomic, so when you use it for a long time your hand gets really sore and hurts.

Here's something more practical to keep your cold mouse hand warm and you can use it with your favorite mouse pad and mouse:

The Mouse Hand Warmer is new, and there's nothing like it on the market. It's $19.95 price includes Free USA Domestic Ground Shipping & Sales Tax! It's the perfect gift idea for computer users. A new Geek Gadget just in time for the holidays!

Keeps your mouse hand covered by a warm blanket. Constructed of a warm polyester fleece blanket material with a non-slip surface. Fits standard mouse pads. Hand wash and air dry.

Instructions: Slip a standard sized mouse pad inside the Mouse Hand Warmer. If using a wireless mouse, the net front provides a clear optical connection. When using an USB connected mouse, slip the cord through a small slit opening made in the center front net. Easy to keep clean by hand washing with a mild detergent and air drying.

The Mouse Hand Warmer is hand made in the USA. It's energy-effecient and uses NO electricity. Heat is generated from your body and insulated inside a warm, cozy fleece blanket pouch.

The Mouse Hand Warmer is an inexpensive way to keep your mouse hand warm during chilly weather or whenever you feel your mouse hand getting cold. A drafty air-conditioned office makes for an uncomfortable exposed hand if you sit and work all day at the computer. During the winter, a draft or drop in temperature makes your mouse hand cold, too. Sometimes fingers get numb due to the cold air. Keep your mouse hand warm inside a cozy blanket.

The idea for a Mouse Hand Warmer came about after spending many years working long, late hours sitting at a computer. When your mouse hand gets cold there's really nothing you can do to warm it except stop working or cover it with a warm blanket. That's why the Mouse Hand Warmer was created.

No wires or cords to get tangled on your desk top. The Mouse Hand Warmer is a contemporary, modern, techie-looking desk accessory in neutral colors of gray fleece with black and white trim. The pouch measures about 12" x 12" with a wide front opening to get your hand into and out of the Mouse Hand Warmer with ease. Fits most mouse sizes, from a standard small mouse to a large ergonomically shaped mouse.

Mouse Hand Warmer is a registered trademark and patented product made in the USA by i-GlobalMall.com, Inc. http://www.IGMproducts.com

Do Not Laugh! A Mouse Hand Gets Cold

from Mouse Hand Warmer

Do not laugh! Mice hands get cold. Thats a fact. And, the motivation behind a new invention called the Mouse Hand Warmer. Its a blanket pouch to hold your favorite mouse pad and your favorite mouse. It keeps your mouse hand covered with a warm, fleece blanket so the hand is not exposed to cold drafts or chills. See the photo above. The Mouse Hand Warmer looks neat on a desk top. Its sleek and modern in design. The gray, black and white color combination is neutral. The size is about 12" x 12" and has a non-slip surface to keep the hand warmer in place on the desk top.

Any standard sized mouse pad fits inside the Mouse Hand Warmer with plenty of space remaining for a mouse and your hand.

A large ergonomic mouse is being used as shown in the above photo. The model has a medium-sized hand. The overall size of the mouse hand warmer is about 12" x 12."

The large ergonomic shaped mouse and the standard mouse pad fit neatly inside the Mouse Hand Warmer as shown above. Notice the large front opening. The large front opening of the hand warmer makes it easy to get your hand inside or out quickly. We tested the usability, and it works perfect!

Once your favorite mouse pad and mouse is inside the Mouse Hand Warmer, you are ready to work and keep your mouse hand warm. Wear a long sleeved sweater to keep your entire arm covered from chills and drafts.

The above photo illustrates the use of the hand warmer without a mouse pad. This is another added feature of the Mouse Hand Warmer item. The white non-slip bottom shown above has a smooth, flat, surface facing the interior of the hand warmer. It is slick enough for mouse movement. So, if you prefer to keep your hand warm without the use of a mouse pad, that is your choice.

Also, notice the mouse being used in the photos is a wireless mouse. There is a net window in the front of the Mouse Hand Warmer for the optical connection. If you use an USB connected mouse, make a small slit in the front net to slip the cord. Either way, USB or wireless, the mouse hand warmer works like a charm. It is like having a cozy, warm house for your mouse!

Mouse warmer keeps your hand warm

There are a variety of items on the market which promise to address the "mouse hand" syndrome. We aren't talking about carpal tunnel problems, we refer to "mouse hand" when your mouse hand gets freezing cold while you are working. Many of us computer geeks have deadlines to meet. We don't have the luxury of stopping work because our mouse hand gets cold. So, we suffer with a very cold mouse hand. Sometimes fingers get numb. The only relief is to stop working, and that's not always an option.

There's a warm mouse which is not ergonomic so it may make your mouse hand sore after using it for any lenght of time. There's also a blue fish style USB connected mouse warmer, but it's not very roomy and so your hand movement is very limited inside.
