Sluggish?
Jumpy?
Uncooperative?
It might be because you have a dirty mouse ball!
No... I'm not talking about rodents here (although I might go with a different Squidoo lens on that subject later<grin>).
What I'm talking about is that computer accessory that usually resides next to your computer.
What I'm saying is that perhaps it's time to clean your mouseball. Yup, dirty mouseballs can cause all sorts of problems when trying to move the cursor accurately on the screen!
So, this Squidoo lens is an attempt to help you to improve your onscreen experience. This Squidoo lens will not only provide instruction for do-it-yourself mouseball cleaning, but it will also provide ways to give your mouse traction so that the mouseball can do its job!
How do you provide traction to mouseballs? With a proper mousepad, that's how!
You not only want a mousepad that will be functional from a traction perspective, but also something that can provide atmosphere for more comfortable mousing.
Oh, and for "proper use of a mouse", I've recently added a new video that provides instruction at the end of this Squidoo lens. Just scroll down and watch the video there. Be sure to leave a comment on how you use your mousies.
Also, if you like this Squidoo lens, be sure to share it or email it to your friends!

We’re about 15 days out from the official beginning of the insane holiday shopping season, and I know a lot of you are girding your loins for battle with the various monsters and soccer moms who will be out there, blocking the aisles and throwing well-placed elbows in pursuit of the best values decorating the cold metal shelves at your local Big Box Outlet Store.
While I appreciate a good deal, I just CAN NOT DO IT. All those people just give me the creepy-crawlies, and if I’m awake at 5 AM, it’s because I never went to sleep the night before, which only makes me more aggressive and irritable. It’s not a recipe for good shopping. So I try to do as much bargain hunting during the year as I can, and these are a few of my favorite haunts.
BizRate: This one goes without saying. Whatever you want to find, from clothing to electronics, is there, with price comparisons to boot.
NewEgg: The one stop shop for anything technology. If you’re the kind of person who builds their own computer, then you’re already familiar with the awesomeness of The Egg. Whenever I need to replace some old computer parts, or whenever I get the itch to ponder upgrading my desktop (need more RAM and a faster processor), I hit up New Egg before going anywhere else. Hundreds of technology stores, thousands of great deals.
Deep Discount DVD: If you’re looking for the best possible deal on DVDs, music, books, and fun stuff like that, this is basically your first stop. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars here, saved hundreds more dollars over Amazon price, and have never had a problem with these guys in the least. I can whole-heartedly recommend them over just about every other competitor (though I still check Amazon’s prices, just in case).
Do you have any favorite haunts for values? If you do, leave a comment below and share it with the rest of us. No sense hogging all the good stuff for yourself!

Tips on Choosing a Flat Screen TV by thefluffanutta
Having a flat screen television is the ultimate gadget to have in your living room. You get a large picture, but it doesn't take up a whole lot of room. You can even hang it on the wall.
For any home cinema fanatic, having a large flat screen for watching movies on can only increase the enjoyment of the experience.
Large-screen television technology developed rapidly in the late 1990's and 2000's, and currently the most popular technologies are liquid crystal display (LCD), plasma display, and projection television. These technologies are quickly displacing cathode ray tubes (CRT) in the television space, mainly because of the bulkiness of CRT televisions and increasing popularity of flatter, large-screen televisions. The diagonal screen size of a CRT television is limited to about 40 inches because of the size requirements of the cathode ray tube, which fires a beam of electrons onto the screen, creating a viewable image. A larger screen size requires a longer tube, making a CRT television with a large screen (50 to 80 inches) unrealistic because of size. The aforementioned technologies are much more suitable for large-screen televisions because they yield television sets that are much thinner in terms of depth.
