If, like me, you've paid through the nose to buy an Apple-made computer, why not complement it with a similarly overpriced and stylish mousepad?

Shinza.com's page for their "Designer Mouse Pad" neglects to name the designer, perhaps because it's really just a plain sheet of polyethylene ("a flexible material") with a tacky base glued to one side.
