Between Hatrack, Slashdot, Yahoo and a few other harmless sites, I may be labeled a bit odd, but no terrorist.

Still, I fully expect SOME faction of the government to have this ability. The temptation is just too great to not exploit the internet. I am just a little shocked that the FBI might admit this so freely. Which could also mean that their abilities may not be so grandiose, and that they are trying to put fear into the hearts of our enemies.

This is not a counter, just an aside.

It'd be something if they followed you back here, or to your desktop!

Storm, that is one creepy/funny animation on that link.

I wonder just how much info the government really has on Internet usage.
If they get too effective at gathering it, they are in danger of total information overload and paralysis. FBI--> [Wall Bash] [Evil Laugh] <--terrorist

Heh. You can sneak around the eyes by pointing at the taskbar and then sticking to the edges of the screen.

easily bypassed . . .

Hey! This is legit!

Icarus,

I too found ways to hide from the roving eyeballs. For far too many moments to argue against insanity, I sat gleefully dragging my pointer around the screen watching the eyeballs hurrying to keep up.

I even got them to cross eyes once and laughed out loud.

Considering I usually only post while at work, I am wondering if I need a psych eval anytime soon...

As I usually do not turn on Javascript, I missed the joke entirely. [Smile]
