You can see as the page begins to swipe, there are two WordPress page editing forms visible. WordPress is particularly bothersome to me. Sometimes I might get luck and the form still contains my content. Problem is, and this is where the mouse comes in, if I’m writing an article, formatting a website page, updating status or messages in my project management app, and my hyper sensitive mouse decides to swipe back a page, I’m screwed. We are relying more and more on using the internet and a browser to get our work done. I’ve always had issues with web-based applications-or, for those feature rich and monthly subscription based tools (Basecamp, Salesforce, etc.) that are referred to SaaS (software as a service) applications. But I can’t blame it entirely on the mouse and Lion and the ability to swipe, rather than click, back to previously viewed pages. Frustration has turned to anger, annoyance to serious work interference. Now, however, I’m almost at the end of my rope. But like many things in life, I adapt, move on and occasionally mutter a profane slur at the shiny and well designed mouse with its oh so subtle grey Apple logo. It’s been annoying and sometimes downright frustrating. I’ve long had issues with the magic mouse and its hypersensitivity. The Magic Mouse sensitivity makes me feel that if I breathe on the mouse my page is going to scroll or I’m going to swipe backward to a previous webpage that I viewed. The problem I have with the mouse is it’s just too sensitive. You can use simple one, two and even three finger gestures to scroll, swipe, zoom and so on. Essentially the surface of this mouse mimics a touch or track pad (taking advantage of the Apple branded Multi-Touch interface), like on a MacBook or the screen of your iPhone or iPad.

For Mac users that have upgraded to Lion and are using any web-based applications such as Basecamp, WordPress, Tungle or just about any webpage with a form, I’ve got a personal pet peeve.
