"But it looks bad and could be bad for the battery!"

Every other wireless mouse has it in the front, Apple has no valid reason to leave it at the bottom.

The fact that everyone hasn't taken on this design trend just shows how stupid it is.

They also take on stupid design trends, like removing the headphone jack.

There's the unsolvable problem - to prevent companies doing stupid things.

And there's the solvable problem - have enough competition so that companies doing stupid things would become or remain small.

Which is why all the stupidity in computer industry in our days is a result of patent laws and protectionism.
