Things to ponder:

* If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?
* What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
* How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink?

Facts of the day:

Contrary to popular perception, marijuana is illegal in Jamaica. However,
the U.S. Embassy estimates that, during the 1980s, the wholesale value of
Jamaica's ganja crop topped $1.5 billion-making it the nation's largest cash
crop.

The 10 Best Computer Mice

Narrow down your search for the best mouse around with our list of the top
10 mice tested and reviewed in PC Labs.

If you're shopping for a new
<http://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,2806,15141,00.asp> mouse, you've come to
the right place. As computer mice come into PC Labs for testing, there are
several factors that we weigh and consider in each device. What sort of use
is it intended for? What are the features offered? Most importantly, how
does it perform in the real world?

First, we look at the intended use of the mouse. Is it meant for day-to-day
use with a desktop PC, or for on-the-go use with a laptop or tablet? Is it a
basic two-button mouse for browsing the Web, or a tricked-out gaming mouse,
built for competition? Different categories have different needs, and each
mouse is built to reflect the specifics of that category. Desktop mice are
made for everyday use, and have the standard right and left buttons, a
scroll wheel, and perhaps forward and back buttons for navigating in your
Web browser. Travel mice, designed for use on the road, are usually much
smaller, made to fit easily into the pocket of a laptop bag or backpack, and
connect quickly without a tangle of wires. Gaming mice are an entirely
different beast, eschewing simplicity in favor of customization, and
offering buttons and controls that the average Facebook browser would never
need.

There's also the question of connectivity. Wired connections, which have a
USB cable to plug directly into the PC, are simple and straightforward, but
they do tend to tangle and clutter up your desk. Gamers prefer wired mice
because they offer low latency and suffer from fewer lag issues, but for
many folks, a wireless mouse will do the job just as well, without the added
mess of yet another cable. Wireless mice do have one drawback, however, and
that is the need for batteries. With no USB cord to draw power from, it's
batteries all the way, and even the most long lasting battery will
eventually need to be replaced.

Finally, while the regular two-button mouse may be familiar to most, there's
a new technology making gains in the mouse world-touch. With the advent of
the touch-centric Windows 8, mice and trackpads with touch and gesture
support have become an essential tool for anyone that wants to make use of
Windows' touch-friendly features without buying a new laptop or
touch-enabled monitor. If you have yet to upgrade your OS, touch may not
seem that important, but gesture controls like swiping from the edge,
scrolling horizontally, and pinch to zoom are all important when working
with Windows 8, making touch-enabled mice indispensable.

Below are our top-rated computer mice.
