Oracle of DelphiDo You Suffer from Mouse Rage Syndrome?
December 29th 2006 20:52
A study on Mouse Rage Syndrome (MRS) from the Social Issues Research Centre (commissioned by Rackspace Managed Hosting), found that poorly designed web pages could negatively affect a person's cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems.
The most goat-getting site flaws include:
Slow loading
Excessive pop-ups
Confusing lay-outs
Unnecessary advertising
Difficult to navigate
Site unavailability
Who's Your Daddy Now?
Researchers measured subjects' heart rates, brain waves, muscle tension and skin conductivity while they were surfing some 'hair pulling out of head' sites and found that few people remained unaffected by the I.T. flaws. Most suffered some form of adverse reaction such as quickened heart rate, sweating, excessive mouse clicking or bashing, teeth-clenching, stress & rage, physical damage of equipment and more.
Responses to Frustrating Websites
The study concludes that consumers desire 'google-like' quick loading, user-friendly sites and stress-free surfing NOW. If they don't find it at your site, they will abandon it at lightning speed to search out your competitors.
Hey, Mouse Ragers why not try some Mouserobics to chill out?
Welcome to Mouserobics! This is how to properly use your favorite computer appendage:
1. Rest heel of your hand on the table in front of the mouse.
2. Hold the mouse between thumb and ring and little fingers.
3. Use thumb and fingers to move the tip of the arrow onto text / image you want to select.
4. When the arrow becomes a pointing finger,
hold the mouse still.
5. Lightly click the mouse button with your index finger.
* If your mouse has more than one button, click the left Left mouse button.
* If the next page doesn't appear after you click, you aren't holding the mouse still when clicking.
The lighter you click the better clicking works.
Keep trying.
Keep trying indeed! LOL

Hey, do you have a guess as to which famous person wrote this poem?
Comment by David my David
textually*
sub
Lime*
sub.
This type of writing?
I can read this type of writing all day.
To Me?
This is sublime.
This is sutextually sublime.
Credit where it is due.
I have been outwritten (again) ...
By a woman ...
Again ...
The Poem?
Brilliant. Just as subtextually sublime as the post.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and play with my Mama's apron strings. (Oh, in Australia we call them mum, btw).
I don't hold my mouse in my hands ...
They're far too timid for me ...
The last one I got hold of?
I strangled it. Damn.
So I went out looking for a cat.
But not a pussy cat.
A tiger. A lion.
One who ROARS ...
with laughter ...
at Orble's obsession ...
with Me.
Keep them coming ...
I can't write on Orble about how I'm laughing ...
Let's just say my pants are wet, shall we?
Oh, that's not from my laughter ...
She's here (again) ...
Okay, gotta go ...
She?
She's not the cat's mother ...
She's [deleted] ...
And what we do together?
We [delete] [delete] [delete] all day long ...
Actually I can use the word laughter ...
We laugh all day long ...
God I love that woman. She is so, so, so, so real.
Writing something like this? Couple of minutes ... Max. I write unedited now. A woman taught me how to do that. A real one.
I wonder how much time others spend on their obsessions?
Hmmm?
Especially the ones who have lives?
Hmmm?
The ones who bang on about being, so, so, busy?
Hmmm?
But, as I wrote earlier. Credit where credit is due. Your writing style? Your command (make that mastery) of subtext?
Sublime.
Only one woman on Orble gets my Divine accolades ...
But by hell woman, you can write! You can really, really, really write!
Bye for now ...
David ...

There isn't a hidden message or subtext in this post
or in any of my posts. period.
This post is neither about you nor is it about anyone on orble. It is simply a funny post about a funny British study.
I thank you for the compliment on my writing skills. Cheers.

So are you changing majors at uni? Didn't you say you wanted to get out of media / journalism studies?
What's next for young, clever, go-getter Anthony?

It may only be 1% of people, but that's still quite disturbing... *hugs the computer, like that episode from the Simpsons* ;o)

Taking frustration out on your computer is only shooting yourself in the foot anyway so I'm sure those people regret their actions pretty quick.
Not only do I hug my laptop, my TV and Jeep get their share too!
oh and one for you!
hugs,
Peg
