GUEST,.gargoyle Tech: Cursor, Caret, Pointy thing? (16) RE: Tech: Cursor, Caret, Pointy thing? 23 May 23


Named by PC Magazine as one of the worst tech products of all time.(May 26, 2006)

Comet Curser changed into Bart Simpson, Dilbert, or one of thousands of other cutesy icons while you were visiting certain Web sites. But Comet had other habits that were not so cute.

For example, it assigned your computer a unique ID and phoned home whenever you visited a Comet-friendly Web site. When you visited certain sites, it could install itself into Internet Explorer without your knowledge or explicit consent. And it was bundled with RealPlayer 7.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
