Inside Apple's Mighty Mouse

mightymouse_gutsIt always amazes me when I see these dissections. Someone plunks down a neat stack of their own, hard-earned cash for a brand new Apple product that they know will be dissembled the instant they get it home. Of course, I'm always happy enough to look. The urge to "see how it works" has been with me since I was a kid taking radios apart (sorry, dad), and I'm sure it is responsible for my working in IT today.

Anyway, Apple Matters looks at Daniel Kushner's examination of the little device's innards, which he describes as the complexity of making something work simply. The gallery is not for the timid (words like "cadaver," "guts" and "tongue" are brandied about), so be forewarned.

I have never seen the point of these dissections and never really seen the attraction either. The inside of most electronic devices is relatively boring and similar. Circuit board, wires and stuff... Though my devices also seem to have a layer of dust!
