Apple Takes Off Its Buttons


In Apple's quest to make the world completely buttonless, another wonder is on its way.

Apple has filed a patent for a buttonless mouse which senses where your fingers are located on its body. This would be the first "mouse with optical sensing surface", similar to how the iphone senses when a face is near and turns the display off.

No word on when this may see the light of day. So stay tuned.
