The worst (for me) current example of hover abuse comes from Google Images. Try searching for something on Google Images, then click the search field and try to refine your query. Didn't work? Well, that's because you moved the mouse away from search field (so that it doesn't cover what you type), but Google then accepts hovering over an image as a sign that now you want to use your keyboard(?) to move through images. The problem is that (probably) about 95% of screen are images that activate this (keyboard) mode on hover. So, to do a second search on Google Images you have to be extremely careful about where you park your mouse before searching.
