Use Magic Mouse to scan forward in iTunes

My local all news radio station creates a podcast of the early morning and afternoon news. While listening to the podcast they include commercials and traffic reports--which are useless when I listen. Usually, I will click on the iTunes progress bar to advance the play pointer... until one day, I slipped my hand across the Magic Mouse!

Once you click on the progress bar to give it focus, if you slowly swipe your finger across the top of the Magic Mouse you can advance the play pointer. While I am listening to my local radio station's podcast, I can slide the play pointer past the traffic report and to the weather. You can control the speed and how much the pointer moves based on the speed and directions based on the movement of your finger on top of the Magic Mouse.

It's not an Earth-shattering hint, but it's cool!
