Ok, I have to vent a little bit here on something that’s been annoying me lately.<\/p>\n

Dear Internet,<\/p>\n

Please stop using Snap Shots<\/a> for your links. When I’m moving my mouse cursor over a link, it’s because I want to actually click on the damn thing. I do not want an annoying pop-up preview box that is completely useless to me and too small to actually see anything<\/em>. What is the preview box for? So that I can admire the general theme and color scheme of the website?<\/p>\n

Also, do you know why the CSS tool tips built in most browsers wait until you hover a bit before showing up? It’s to prevent them from ambushing your cursor when it’s trying to go somewhere else!<\/p>\n

Internet, people built pop-up blockers for a very good reason and I don’t think it was so we could descend to the level of mini pop-ups that jump out as you’re trying to move your damn mouse!<\/p>\n

Regards,
\nTae Kim<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can’t believe anyone would voluntarily install this thing on their site. Is there some kind of ad\/affiliate revenue generating scheme in there somewhere I’m not aware of?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
