That's not too bad! Though I'm not thinking it'd work out on a full scale... there'll end up being some things ya mouse over, but didn't wanna click into and it could get ya into problems :lol: Then there's having to make the entire 'net flash based :p Funky idea though and works well for that display :cool:

It's a very dangerous concept as clicking involves a physical choice, unlike hovering your mouse over something.

Hackers & malware writers would pounce on such a world with such a force that it would kill the click-less world as every idiot who moved their mouse to the wrong spot on the page would accidentally download some piece of malware with little options to stop it.

Clicking is good...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this would never become a reality. It does have some amusing concepts though, like drawing a quick circle around a button to click on it and so forth.

Personally, I prefer mouse gestures, which rely on mouse clicks. Thought it was amusing enough to share though. :lol:

Quite frankly, the fact that you can't make the stuff that's popped up go away without pulling up other stuff is annoying. That right there is enough to make me not want to navigate like that, let alone the security issues. Besides, I've seen navigation systems not unlike that before, albeit on a smaller scale. They annoyed me then, too. :rolleyes:
