I am not an m$ fanboi, but i used their mouse - a It's really cheap in my area, and I kinda thought i might be a replica or sth, but i think the low price is because it is not wireless, which I do not need anyway.
eh i meant to type keyboard, instead of mouse. I own an m$ mouse - Microsoft intellimouse optical mouse 3.0 (not 'bad' model for gamers - 4!) as well as a glass black Icemat classic mouse pad. (it came as a bundle and it was kinda expensive. bought in 2006), with the Comfort Curve Keyboard (old revision). I once had to 'repair' the mouse though, but I found instructions on the net on it's weak point! So saved a couple of bucks he he. In the beginning i thought i would break the glass icemat mouse-pad, but it turned out to be very robust! So yeah I run mint linux mod @ work and microsoft windows 8 preview @ home, both places with m$ gear lol
I am Bulgarian living in Bulgaria right now. I am as happy as any of you about the ditching of ACTA by our government. But! They change their minds twice a day. The position of the other European governments against ACTA, I think, is based (to a certain extent at least) on principles and integrity. Our government is silly, uninformed, clueless and it may easily jump back on the ACTA bandwagon if put under pressure. They were clearly ready to force the ratification of ACTA on the Parliament. What changed their minds was the protest wave -- the government are populist and easily bend before protests. However, they bend easily before anything. So, let's wait and see...
the funniest thing is that the minister who took responsibility for signing the ACTA treaty early said on national television that he is under a lot of pressure to sign lots of paperwork everyday (around 100+ papers on a weekly basis) and he said quote "i'm sorry for not reading this document throughly, before accepting to sign it - my team of experts said it was nothing to qworry about it" They are truly clueless and they admit it, lulz.
