Apple Patents Hybrid Low Power Computer Mouse

Citing well-known lousiness of wireless mouse battery life, Apple has filed a patent application for a hybrid tracking low power wireless mouse. See geek details here but the gist of it is you'd have a mouse that would only need a new battery once a year instead of the every six-eight weeks it does now. (Personally, I use rechargable batteries in my Logitech Laser and it works perfectly well.) [GT]
