Thank you for explaining the issue. I guess there are Apple fans (including the author of the article) who can't conceive of a world where there are people who have never used an Apple mouse.
The people who complain about it are almost exclusively people who don't actually use it, but love to complain about it.
Plugging in a laptop is a nuisance, but at least I can do that every time I sit down to start working and it will manage itself all day.
