    Computer Mouse + Chili = Complete Lack of Disaster

    posted by Chris on January 4, 2008 10:49 AM in Geek Culture

    belkinchili.jpgBBG brings to our attention today an article on Gearlog where they tested a new Belkin Washable Mouse. By dipping it in a day's worth of food. They ran the gamut, chili, oatmeal, Cheetoes, Red Bull... the mouse still worked. Remarkable! The images are the best part. This is the kind of real world testing that my adolescent mind desperately hopes companies do in their labs. I envision scores of goggle-lensed geeks in white lab coats gingerly dipping their electronics into chili, observing and hastily scribbling the results down on messy, Cheeto-stained clipboards.
