TLDW: The video speculates that it’s because the mouse charges so fast and lasts for so long that it’s not a big issue, and dismisses people who are complaining by saying that they probably aren’t the ones using the mouse anyway.

Sounds a lot like "you're holding it wrong".

Hilarious that you responded to a post that was about design wasting user time with a _video_ that takes 2.5 minutes to say, "...well, it doesn't necessarily waste that much time. It charges quickly."

Ie 5:34 video about a totally unrelated things somehow trying to explain why the mighty Apple [0] couldn't place a USB port like a people who care [1] about their users.

Rechargeable Wireless USB Mouse: June 9, 2008

Your linked video says:

> 2 minutes of charging will power the magic mouse for 9 hours

This seems in contradiction with what the article says:

> Now. If the mouse had ultracaps instead of batteries, it would charge in seconds, and none of this would be an issue. But it doesn’t. It has batteries. And they charge very slowly. I checked: I plugged it into my mac, and watched the charge indication. It. rises.. very… slowly….

No contradiction. It _does_ charge slowly, but charging for 2 minutes will still power it for a few hours. A full charge takes 2-3 hours, but lasts for a month or more (depending on usage).

It is an explanation. Not a "reasonable" explanation.

Not reasonable at all.
