Wow, it's like they read my mind. :) It's always nice to see when somebody "in the know" agrees with what you think...or at least as "in the know" as somebody on the interweb can get.

From a long time two-button mouser, they're not. They're just too handy especially when your other hand is not near the keyboard. One-button mice drive me bat-shit insane. I understand the concept, but just feels limited.

I feel claustrophobic whenever I use a mouse with less than 3 buttons nowadays =/
About that article I've heard that Intel has already decided to skip NetBurst on all their new models.. The reason why NetBurst doesn't quite live up to the expectations is described bellow.
Linkage to Xbitlabs

This is one thing that really pisses me off about Apple - their unwillingness to just fricking accept that mice need two buttons. The one-button mouse is a holdover from the days when GUIs were new. It was one of the great Jef Raskin's ideas - one button was best because users wouldn't be confused about which one to press, since GUIs were unfamiliar enough as it was.
Well, today, everyone and his mom knows how to use a GUI, and two-button mice are no problem as all the Windows users out there demonstrate. Apple's so committed to moving forward, why don't they just fix their damn mice?! The greatest hardware designer in the world (Jonathan Ive) works for Apple, it's hard to believe he doesn't get it.
Whoo. I feel better now.

There is hope for AMD chips. I just read here that apple's deal with intel doesn't lock them into using intel chips. So they can use AMD if they want to in the future. Switching from intel to AMD would be really easy compaired to powerPC to x86
