Dell’s New “Meowse” A Dud

by Prongs on November 5, 2009

After extensive research, Dell gambled on their focus groups’ request for “something softer to the touch” and lost.

This is a stick-up for static cling.

Triple click, Maria F.

3 marthava 11.05.09 at 1:29 pm

I’ve never had a fuzzy mouse before. I believe I’ll purchase one now.

4 Birdcage 11.05.09 at 1:31 pm

The sneezing that would follow from my full-face snorgle of that belleh would be WORTH IT.

5 Blondie 11.05.09 at 1:34 pm

Must snorgle that belly!!

6 Suzanne 11.05.09 at 1:41 pm

@ Paunchie…my thoughts exactly…that is one grumpeh kitteh!

7 Anne 11.05.09 at 1:43 pm

Now THIS is a mouse I’d like to use :)

8 Blondie 11.05.09 at 1:46 pm

Warning: TOE TUFTS!!!

9 Maria F. 11.05.09 at 1:50 pm

Thank you, thank you!

10 Sweeda88 11.05.09 at 1:57 pm

It’s all “I dare you! Touch my belleh. See how many appendages are intact afterwards… come on! I triple CAT dare you!” lolz

11 Katiedid 11.05.09 at 2:00 pm

“yah, go ahead and click me… if you wanna lose half your face!” *Glares*

I think this is some of that new-fangled kitten cloud computing bunk, version Marmie.

13 Kristen 11.05.09 at 2:07 pm

Then the “neaarrmm” cat from yesterday was probably just a Dell Meowse prototype.

14 resriechan 11.05.09 at 2:16 pm

ooooooooooh Thhhhhheeeeeeeeooooooooooooo…………

15 Agent 99 11.05.09 at 2:17 pm

I love that God invented fur.

16 Juno 11.05.09 at 2:27 pm

The belleh! The fluff! The short tail! The toehawks! THE LITTLE ORANGE MUSTACHE!!!

17 Maria F. 11.05.09 at 2:28 pm

hahaha The orange mustache is the best!

18 Stunbunny 11.05.09 at 3:09 pm

Looks like an aerial FLOOF attack waiting to happen.

19 bargles 11.05.09 at 3:24 pm

He’s on a yoga mat! Hahaha! My freakin’ cat does that to me all the time when I practice at home… it’s the one place I don’t want him going, and it’s the only place he wants to be! He sprawls himself all over it like it was no one’s business.

It’s a little hard to get into the zen when you’re shooing your cat off half the time. ;)

20 i_wuvs_puttins 11.05.09 at 3:38 pm

Love the hind feets splayage!

21 Gigi 11.05.09 at 3:43 pm

@ Paunchie & Suzanne He’s only grumpy because my face is not buried in his wittle furry belly! He just need a belly razzzzberry!

Dear Dell Customer Service: Enclosed please find one of your Dell KatTrak 2.0 computer meowses. You’ll find that it’s in perfect working order. Be assured that I am the origin of the dried blood that appears around its mouth and feet; the device itself is unharmed.

I would like to request a refund on the basis that the KatTrak instruction manual neglected to mention that meowse usage would be limited and that the meowse could, in fact, disembowel the user with little or no warning. My job requires that I be at a computer 7-9 hours a day, and my supervisor has been unimpressed by the amount of time I’ve spent getting stitches in my right hand, arm, and ear due to a series of particularly vicious meowse attacks.

Please remit my refund in the form of a check, credit, or an intravenous analgesic drip.
Regards,
A. Donkeypants
PS — I am keenly interested in your line of Komodo monitors. Please send a current product catalog.

@ AD:

were you already aware that the Dell Corporation was bought out, by the Acme Corporation, which was the object of a lawsuit from a certain Wile E. Coyote regarding deficient Product designs of various vehicles & accessories??

I am not aware of the end result of the Lawsuit, however I understand that the inadequate product design was said to have caused obstacles to Mr. Coyote’s Chosen Profession of Road Runner Pursuit.

Just thought that you might find this illuminating. The best of luck to you on negotiations with the Corporation.

Signed,
Your Obedient Servant.

24 Skip 11.05.09 at 4:37 pm

That is one disapproving kitteh!

25 Argyle Donkeypants 11.05.09 at 5:05 pm

He’s a purripheral.

26 chanpon 11.05.09 at 5:45 pm

“C’mon, you know you want it. Come snorgle this belleh…I know how hard it is to turn away…”

27 Queen of Dork 11.05.09 at 6:04 pm

I’m on to this kitty. Look at his eyes. See? No! don’t look! He’s obviously trying to hip-no-tize unsuspecting peeps to snorgle his belleh. See how the paws are up in the kill posish? Then as we lose ourselves in the floof, he RIPS OUR HEADS OFF.

28 victoreia 11.05.09 at 7:03 pm

“DANGER, Will Robinson!”

29 Teresa 11.05.09 at 7:26 pm

:twisted: SNORGLE-FEST :twisted: Face plant in kitty belly :twisted:

30 trusts 11.05.09 at 8:35 pm

31 molly 11.05.09 at 8:49 pm

simply irresistable!!

32 Subhangi 11.05.09 at 10:52 pm

BELLEH!!!

*Dives headfirst into floof*

33 Molly 2.0 11.05.09 at 10:56 pm

I’m this close to snorgling my computer screen.

34 resriechan 11.06.09 at 12:16 am

@ Victoreia:

You, m’dear, have just chosen to quote prob. my ALLTIME FAVE pop-kulcha / TV show line (possibly even above some M. Python items).

Ahhhhhhhh. Thanks, That really hit the spot !

Will Robinson

35 Kenny G 11.06.09 at 12:20 am

The BACK FEETS, people! Will you look at the back feets! I love how they’re just sticking out of all the floof.

I’m too scared to look any higher – that grumpeh face and those thin white evil eyebrows… :-O

36 bookmonstercats 11.06.09 at 6:17 am

@ArgyllDonkeypant, you rock.

I have spent some considerable time trying to work out how to connect the meowse’s tail into the port, but it won’t go, and the blood running down my eyes is making it difficult to continue. Does the ear-furr imply that it’s actually wireless? Is that where I’m going wrong? In adition, I keep tickling the back feets instead of working.

37 bookmonstercats 11.06.09 at 6:18 am

“addition”… *tut*…

38 T.U.M. 11.06.09 at 6:39 am

*gets protractors, measures angle of hind leg splayage*

The angle is obtuse, but the cat is acute.

39 T.U.M. 11.06.09 at 6:41 am

@bargles

“it’s the one place I don’t want him going, and it’s the only place he wants to be!”

Yep, that’s the Webster’s definition of “cat.”

40 Trez4400 11.06.09 at 7:10 am

I must keesse the kitteh belly, so soft, losing myself in the fluff :)

41 Babs 11.06.09 at 8:11 am

That li’l ornj VanDyke is cracking me up. Srs.

42 Nancy 11.06.09 at 1:41 pm

Why am I never included in these customer focus groups!!!!! I’d want one even if you couldn’t plug it in.

I also could have told them that the avg mouse jockey would just spend too much time huffing that precious fluffy belleh to get any work done! Definately for home use.

43 Holly 11.08.09 at 4:19 pm

NO….IT WASN’T ME I SWEAR!!!!!
