"The mouse has been a mainstay of the personal computer ever since the first GUI-enabled Apple Macintoshes hit store shelves. It's how the vast majority of us interact with our computers every single day.\nYet of the many basic computing features that have evolved, the cursor interface really isn't one of them.  Point-and-click has mostly been the same since the mouse's introduction in the 1960s.\nThe rise of the iPhone, iPad and Android devices have begun to alter how we interact with our computers, though.  All of these devices use touchscreen interfaces out of necessity, but the result has been the birth of a wide variety of user interfaces that don't require dragging a little arrow across a virtual desktop.\nSo for this week's Web Faceoff, we wanted to poll you, the readers, on which interface you prefer: the touchscreen or the mouse/keyboard/cursor.  We're going to leave the Magic Trackpads out of this fight for today.\nCast your vote in the poll below by Friday, August 6, at 12:00 p.m. PT, then let us know why you voted the way you did in the comments.\n\n\n\n\tWhich interface do you prefer: Touchscreen or Mouse?online survey\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
