I'm not too sure about the squeeze-the-sides buttons.  I have a
Microsoft optical mouse somewhere that has them, and I utterly HATED AND
DESPISED them.  I was constantly clicking the damned things by accident
when I picked up the mouse to move it.  I ended up moving it onto my
Linux box because under X, I could disable the infernal side buttons.

It does look as though the Mighty Mouse's buttons are better placed,
though, and probably less prone to accidental squeezes.
