Forget the mouse, just move your head

Find yourself with not enough hands? How about all those times you’ve been typing a Word document, two hands on the keyboard, and you need to switch over to Excel to see some data. Taking that right hand off the keyboard and onto the mouse is such a distraction, especially when your fingers are in the zone and going at 80 words per minute. Enter Apple patent application 11/956,275 to save the day. Rather than using a mouse, you can just move your head to switch from one window to the next. Move your head right to quickly go from Word to Excel. Move your head to the left to go back to Word. Imagine that! All without letting those 8 fingers become unglued from the “asdf” - “jkl;” keys!
