I got this sent to me via email from a web dev friend of mine (who got it from someone else, and so on), so I thought I would pass it along to you guys. Here is what it looks like active:

Might be kind of neat to use it with a dashboard if the mouse trailing portion was removed. Have fun with it.

It's neat, though doesn't seem to work in NS6 or Opera 6 (Fine in IE and NS4).

 

I saw some similar ones around on a javascript website somewhere. Don't have the URL though.

neat, though cpu usage jumps up to 51%

That's odd, as mine doesn't go over 8% and that's with a bunch of other things on in the background and moving the mouse all over the place.

 

EDIT: There must be some optimizations in either the general P4 processor, or in the Northwood versions, because my P3 goes to about 50% as well.

stays at 4-6% on my computer. Is java optimised for a smp system?
