Comment Why no wired/wireless combo? (Score 2, Interesting) 246

I've had a logitech wireless from a long time ago, mx700 i think. It's great, but for one thing; it must be put in its dock to recharge. I prefer this to using regular rechargeables as it is actually kind of convenient, but why is it necessary? That is, why can't there just be a wire that I plug into the mouse just where a normal wired mouse's wire would go. Then I could keep using it while it recharged. As it is I have had to have an extra wired mouse connected to my computer for the few times when I need to keep working when the wireless one is low on charge. So, tell me, why can't somebody do this?

Submission + - Wikipedia COO was Convicted Felon (theregister.co.uk) 4

An anonymous reader writes: From the Register:

"For more than six months, beginning in January of this year, Wikipedia's million-dollar check book was balanced by a convicted felon. When Carolyn Bothwell Doran was hired as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Florida-based Wikimedia Foundation, she had a criminal record in three other states — Virginia, Maryland, and Texas — and she was still on parole for a DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol) hit and run that resulted in a fatality. Her record also included convictions for passing bad checks, theft, petty larceny, additional DUIs, and unlawfully wounding her boyfriend with a gun shot to the chest."

Submission + - Fallout 3 First Look - Resurrected and Reimagined

cjHopman writes: Gamespot has a great first look at Fallout 3.
From the article "The designers clearly have a reverence for the original games — and it shows. Fallout 3 won't be Fallout as you may know it, but it promises to be a Fallout game nevertheless."
And another view point.
