Nice idea, but I disagree that this should make us "Forget tacky loading spinners". Loading spinners are a big step forward from wait cursors in that they: - Can be used to show what is loading, especially if you use AJAX to update only part of the screen/content, rather than indicate a global loading state. - Work on devices that do not have a cursor. Touch anyone? - Don't make you feel like you are running Windows 3.1 - Don't make you fear your browser/system has frozen.
