What the Func? Creators of the sUrface 1030 Mousepad Are Back

Remember Func? If you cared about mousepads five or so years ago, chances are you do. At the time, the company's "sUrface" pads were widely-accepted as being some of the best.

If you were starting to get the idea from Sony that it loves finding features to remove from its PS3, I think you've got it all wrong. Well, if you ignore the fact that with the next firmware update, Life and the Folding@home client will be removed. Past that, I don't think Sony goes out of its way to remove features at all!
