I bled for Apple this week. The sharp edge of the aluminum under-casing on my Magic Mouse made a tiny cut on my thumb when I tried to retrieve it from my pocket. Ok, I'm sure that many of you are citing user error in this case. Why oh why was the mouse in my pocket for a start? The reality is that in today's flexible office environments sometimes you have to pack up your stuff and move to another desk or meeting area. Having my hands full at the time I stuffed the mouse into my pocket for convenience, only for it to attack me when I tried to remove it from its cozy den. The paper-cut-like gash produced a surprising amount of blood but what hurt more was the feeling that an Apple product hadn't been designed well enough to prevent injury to its loyal owner. I shed a tear.

I haven't bled yet, but it doesn't feel far away. The edge is SHARP! I'm also shocked that it wasn't designed better. Apple's meant to be perfect, yet this seems totally careless.

You're not alone. Mine even made me bleed just with daily use!
