I like the idea, but is there really no way to mute the audio? Sadly I did not finish the article because of that.

  There's audio? I should have unmuted my laptop.

  "is there really no way to mute the audio?" There are so many ways to mute my computer, I wouldn't even know how to list them all. But on top of the list I would start with the volume keys on the keyboard and then with the volume panel in the menubar and then with the audio panel of the system preferences. Towards the far end of the list I would cut the wires to the speakers.

    Very funny... I currently have other audio playing on my computer that I don't want to stop.

      If you are on windows you can right click on the tray icon and for the volume and open the volume mixer where you can lower the volume for specific applications, such as your browser.

        But you can only change the volume of the entire browser, not specific tabs. If you're playing music in another tab, you can't just turn down one tab.

  What audio? There shouldn't be any sound unless you activate the konami code easter egg.

    Well now you've got me to investigate. There seems to be a video in the article. However, it is only displayed as a white box in my browser (Safari), without any controls. I can't stop it, I don't even know it's there, except it it playing audio. Strange...
