Babelgum - Review of the Beta release

Posted by liquilife on 02/03 at 08:01 AM

About a month ago I applied to be a beta tester for the new software called Babelgum. Babelgum ushers in a new era for television, blending the lean-back experience of traditional TV with the interactive and social power of the Internet all packaged into a piece of software for your PC. Yes, very much like the anticipated software Joost from the makers of Skype. This is a completely new idea so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Well, having dallied around in Babelgum for a few days I have compiled my thoughts with some screen shots.

Since I have your attention if you have any invites for Joost and would be kind enough to share one with me my email is (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Thank you!

My new PC mouse: The pleasure model

That picture you see is my growing collection of crap computer PC mice. You see, I’ve never taken my computer mouse very seriously. I was ok with paying out $15 for any old mouse that moved the arrow around on my monitor. But I got fed up after my 4th mouse in 3 months stopped working. I couldn’t take it anymore. Along with that I was sick of sore fingers from how hard it is to click the damned things as well. I knew I needed a versatile mouse that wasn’t going to suddenly break. I also know I needed an ergonomic mouse that was easy to use without killing my hand after eight to 10 hours of use per day.

My wife and I made a trip to CompUSA today and I splurged. I forked out $100 for the ultimate pleasure mouse. I introduce to you the Logitech MX Revolution. A mouse, apparently, so revolutionary and advanced that the register clerk at CompUSA commented that I must be a hard-core gamer. All I could say was that I needed it so I could click stuff on my desktop.

This baby features Hyper Fast Scrolling, Smart Shift Technology, Document Quick-Flip, One Touch Search, Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery and is a Cordless Laser. Don’t ask me what all of these features are quite yet as I don’t know. But let me just say that every time I grab a hold of this pleasure mouse it feels like I am sliding around a $100 bill on my desk. I’ll do a more thourough review once I get this baby figured out. For the moment I need to figure out what in the world I can do with this scroll wheel that can also tilt left and right. Any ideas?

Here is a last picture of this pleasure mouse on it’s docking station for recharging. Is it me or does this mouse look like it’s ready to blast off to outer space?
