PCWorld reviews the Ploopy Bean, a $70 CAD external pointing-stick mouse that mimics IBM's TrackPoint design with four configurable Omron buttons.

The tournament, which is being held, at least partially, on U.S. soil for the first time in over three decades, will feature some of the best players in the world competing for global soccer supremacy. If you want to get out and see a match taking place in America this summer, though, you may want to think about taking out a second mortgage on the house, because these tickets are rather steep in price.
