I don't need that mouse-pain-when-you-click-thing :D just about focus, though. But I feel that focusing on not clicking is a waste of mental energy when you can just naturally click. Maybe this becomes something in the future  | ||

For instance: Menu 1 Menu 2 v crap 1 crap 2 crap 3 Moving the mouse down automatically gives you crap 1, unless you swing the mouse around it, avoiding Menu 2. | ||

nonetheless, I'd still rather click. It's just so intuitive. Like, why did humans invent buttons? Cause we love to press them! :D | ||

And I don't think the site is here to set new goals for future mouse design. It's just a new idea put into practice. It doesn't want to become "the next big thing" (since it's been on the web for at least 3 years, as far back as I can remember), it's just bringing something new. Some of these things can be implemented in certain areas of websites to improve the user's experience. Some have already been implemented in flash games and so on. It's silly saying that clicking > this, since it wasn't the point to begin with. | ||

Yeah I have that problem as well. I had ZERO problem refraining from physically clicking on things, but it was just annoying to 'dodge' items I didn't want to 'click' on. Not to mention it's just a flash based site which uses 'mouse over' instead of 'mouse click' so, eh, I don't really even find it that innovative... Just annoying. You could do this in 500 different 'innovative' ways, but just because they're innovative doesn't mean they're good. Someone could make the same site, but you use the 'enter' key to 'click' on things, or rightclick instead of leftclick. Not really that impressive in my opinion, because it doesn't really have any positive application. | ||

A few hours is nothing. The fact that the thread got bumped down doesn't really matter. Many people post, and then leave tl, and don't check the thread again until their next visit. | ||

It was all good at first, but then when switching tabs the pointer location was lost, and I had to renavigate to where I left off. To "support" clickless browsing, a browser need to restore the last cursor location in a tab, whenever it is switched to. | ||
