Sam Kidd's thoughts on business

Just going though all the news before I head to work this Sunday when I came across this little gadet. It's A viruse killer mouse. Now it's not the Computer Viruses it kills, It's the human snotty ones it kills.  If I think of some of the people we have into AREA51  it sounds like a great idea to have these mice in the shop. The Germ Free Wireless Laser Mouse from Iogear has a special coating that its maker says will neutralize 99 percent of the microbes on its surface.

The outer shell of This viruse killing mouse is coated with tiny particles of titanium oxide and silver, and it uses a chemical reaction to battle bacteria and viruses. The titanium oxide attracts oxygen and water molecules, and when those are combined with light and the titanium oxide’s electrons, they give off free oxygen ion bases.(did you get that?? ) Iogear says these ions reduce or eliminate germs — and also create more carbon, oxygen and water particles to start the process all over again, making the mouse self-cleaning. Guess I will just have to take their word as I sucked at chemistry in school.
