#32I notice a mix of OS X and Windows style cursors. Presumably it's actually detecting your OS.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't see why the mouse should be tied to the keyboard. They're used for different purposes. We use mice to point stuff in a specific place on the screen. It would be much faster to do that by just putting your finger on the screen (and more intuitive, since we already use our fingers like that). I think the time it takes for my hand to move from the keyboard to the mouse is about equal than it would take to move i…
So assuming you're using a physical keyboard with a separate monitor, you would prefer to extend your arm out to your monitor? I think the mouse would be much faster and a trackpad below the keyboard is faster still. Further, the mouse is more exact, doesn't obscure the image, allows quick access to right-clicking, and doesn't leave smudges on the screen (though I see us solving that problem).
Also, a mouse is quite handy if the screen being displayed to is far enough away that one can't, in some common use cases, touch it comfortably.

#34Too bad its NSFW. One of those things I'd love to forward around. Overall, awesome concept.
It's got a few naked breasts in it, and they are mostly covered with mouse pointers now.
Are many people legitimately shocked by that sort of content in 2013?

Facebook remove images of breast even if they are mothers breast-feeding infants.
Youtube doesn't allow breasts.
A US TV outrage happened because of one partially uncovered breast during a sport event.
Yes, some people are shocked by that sort of content. Legitimate is secondary; if they own the computers you're using and they have power to dismiss you it's a good idea to think of their reasonable requests as legitimate.

#36I missed the latter part of the title. Can we have NSFW stuff labeled at the beginning of the title since they're so uncommon and unexpected?
This seems unreasonable to me. I think we can safely hold people responsible for reading to the end of a seven-word sentence.
> I think we can safely hold people responsible
Responsible for what? Seriously man talk sense.

#37"After 50 years of pointing and clicking, we are celebrating the nearing end of the computer cursor with a music video where all our cursors can be seen together for one last time." I don't see any way the cursor dies without the keyboard dying. And I don't see the keyboard dying. Just because tech bloggers and journalists are incapable of writing about any hardware besides tablets and phones doesn't mean that's all…
I removed the mouse from my desktop so that I better learn my keyboard shortcut and eventually get faster. Also, I find using a mouse annoying.

Sounds like a US centric thing then, most countries in europe AFAIK will allow breasts to be shown in prime time TV as long as the context is not overtly sexual.
Edit: I've definitely seen breasts on youtube

Oh hey, that's one of the people who was involved in the late lamented Scriptographer[1] plugin for Illustrator.

#40apparently, the video is re-rendered on a regular basis containing the flock of mouse pointers: We composite the music video with the latest pointers every 30 minutes orso. For that we use Node.js & FFMPEG
There is one shot that has a small yellow disc. I guess after many iterations people with their mouse pointers have drawn on it a smiley face. That is pretty neat.
If you watch it interactively, it explicitly asks you to draw a smiley at that point.
