Vibrating Mouse
I was sent the following email at work today which I thought would be interesting enough to pass on to you guys. My dirty mind started thinking of other applications for a vibrating mouse but since this is a family oriented website then I had better not say anything. Hopefully your imagination is vivid enough to come up with some absolutely hilarious applications.
********** A vibrating mouse is a normal optical mouse that senses when you are just holding your hand passively on the mouse and are not using it. If there is no mouse activity for fifteen seconds then it automatically begins to vibrate to remind you. The vibration is the trigger to take your hand away from the mouse and drop it on your lap (the mouse or your hand?). Thus, you are reminded to take a micro-break and relax the muscles of your neck, shoulders, arm and hand. Obviously, you can do any other small or large movements as well. It is one of the best reminders to take micro-breaks we have seen.

Haha, that's kinda silly. Your muscles shouldn't be tensed when having your hand resting on the mose anyways...

I wouldn't think it'd matter, taking a 15 second break. My breaks come when I move to type
