Reminds me of Reggie Watts says something about Google Owl and from the details he's describing I can only imagine the comparison to Google's involvement to PRISM. One of the best Reggie Watts performance IMHO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGetsXib_zA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGetsXib_zA @ 35:00

It would be an interesting experiment to see if using something like this actually makes people more careful about using Google/Facebook etc.

For me the eyes aren't centered properly (if you put the cursor between the eyes both the eyes look to the right), this bookmarklet fixes it: javascript:$(window).mousemove(function(e) {var offset = ($('#bg').outerWidth(true) - $('#bg').innerWidth()) / 2;move(".oog1", e.pageX - offset, e.pageY, p1.left, p1.top );move(".oog2", e.pageX - offset, e.pageY, p2.left, p2.top );});

      That's why I like HN - you get useful information instead of likes. Sometimes, at least.
