- jaylevitt 15y agoLooks a lot like him, but my totally amateur 1am opinion is no: * I can't find any photos of Dyson with hair that long * The jawline/skin folding doesn't look like Dyson's * He doesn't look out of place next to two actors, and nearly all non-actors do.
- nextstep 15y agoIs this a joke? I'm not trolling, I just don't get it.
- wlesieutre 15y agoApril Fool's day, they're just being silly
- nextstep 15y agoGod I'm dumb. Thanks.
- Strallus 15y agoThis video is a lot like something you would see on The Onion. Edit: I'm an idiot.
- spicyj 15y agoMake sure to click the blue button.
- sunnynagra 15y agoEven after clicking it, make sure to stay on the page for awhile, it gets more interesting.
- lzy 15y agoFortunately my computer did not shut down when my 2 mouse pointers got too close! Phew!
- quandrum 15y agoAnd play around with it a bit. It takes 30+ seconds to see everything.
- william8th 15y agoWhat a joke. Obviously an April fool prank.
- ypcx 15y agoHappy First April to everyone!
- Andrex 15y agoPart of me wishes this were real. Make it happen, extension authors!
- CChristie 15y agoIs Google working anything of interest anymore?
- underwater 15y agoDon't cross the streams!
- megamark16 15y agoOh, great, it's that time of year again. The day when it's pretty much useless to even try using the Internet. I'll see you guys on Monday...
- MJR 15y agoI like how when running the demo when you mouseout of the browser and back in it adds even more cursors. Rinse and repeat for even more!
- saurik 15y ago(Go back and play with it even longer: give it a good 30-60 seconds.)
- scotty79 15y agoSettlers on Amiga used two mice for multiplayer. It was awesome. Plugging additional mouse should give you additional cursor. Or better yet just putting another wireless mouse near given computer should give you that. Also when you Cut something to clipboard with a mouse it should be stored inside you mouse so you can move it to another machine just by carrying mouse with you. Could you turn your phone in such mouse? Harder challenge: Why multiple computers with multiple monitors can't just merge in one common space shared and split as their users see fit?
- TwistedWeasel 15y agoSometimes it seems like Google puts more effort into it's April Fools jokes than it's real products
- airbai 15y agoHappy First April to everyone!
- lifthrasiir 15y agoI read it Chrome Mutalisk Mode at a distance for a moment. At least it mutates the cursor.
- sgentle 15y agoThat guy has one hell of a mixed Australian-American accent. Reminds me a little of Des Bishop's mad Irish-American brogue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFE_G1i-d90 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFE_G1i-d90 Do all the Aussies in the valley end up sounding like that?
- gmurphy 15y agoWhen I moved to the bay area, I noticed that fellow Australians who had been here for more than three years sounded weirdly sort-of-American, and thought "good thing I'm going back in two years!" I'm still here six and a half years later. I'm the guy in the video.
- sgentle 15y agoHah, yeah, for Australians the US seems like something between hacker mecca and inescapable black hole. Nice video. :)
- ChrisNorstrom 15y agoNow I'm curious, do (or why do) Australians seem to like Australia better? Coming from a family of immigrants and being one myself I love to hear stories of what country works better for certain people and why.
- kaddar 15y agoThere are plenty of realistic applications for this! For example, controlling the reticle vs aim of a fps character, selecting units easily in an rts, selecting spells while looking around in an mmo, simulating multitouch, simulating button clicks to reduce cts symptoms ( so one hand draws, the other hand decides if you Re drawing and to what intensity by moving in and out of an intensity circle. )
- tsm 15y agoIt's worth pointing out that this is actually possible with X.org. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Pointer_X http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Pointer_X
- pranjalv123 15y agoThis is especially useful if you're on a laptop, especially a ThinkPad with the pointing stick. If you're doing something like Photoshop, it's nice to have one pointer near the tools and another near the work surface - it makes switching tools much faster (especially if you don't know the keyboard shortcuts that well.)
- ryan-allen 15y agoThey got me! I was like, what the hell they can't be serious. Pretty good :)
