User Vaporated Content


Today, I had the strangest experience. I visited the dutch MSN website (don't ask me why) and found myself erasing al the content with a flick of my cursor. As I moved the cursor over any piece of content featured on the site, it would simply pop away and leave a blank space.


It must have been some bug in Safari or so, I have no other explanation. Or— would there be someting that this site didn't like about my previous surfing behaviour? I don't wan't to sound too antropomorphic, but you get to think weird things if something like this happens to you. By the time I had moved my cursor all over the screen, all content had dissappeared. What lasted was a completely empty webpage.
