This is really amazing, great idea and really well executed. I know it kinda goes against the whole idea of this, but I think it would have been better if the mouse cursors that didn't "obey" the instructions were filtered out, all the cursors that just stayed in one place, or didn't follow the instructions were a little distracting.

That was my favorite part :-( I liked seeing the individualism

I can't get it to move past this... http://puu.sh/2ATlK I have a computer with a touch screen, but I'm not using it. It happens in Firefox and Chrome.

Awww, not working for me either. It seems to be frozen on a screen showing lots of cursors that aren't moving anywhere. Shame, looks like it's a really cool idea.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 legitim…

Youtube allows breasts and nudity when used as an art form - not in a pornographic sense.

I can't get past that either. It's really frustrating. I want to try it, but I can't!

For the first time in my life, I felt as part of a human ant colony. I'm also proud to see other people admit they're asexual during the "Which do you prefer" question with a male on side and a female on the other. A small percentage of arrows flocked to the center in between them... Or maybe that means they were bi... :(

I'd expect an asexual individual would not be "undecided" between the two, but "indifferent", and thus their mouse could be anywhere.

"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…

Haven't you heard, the mouse & keyboard has been dying for the last forty years. Much the same as it has been "The year of Linux on the desktop" for the last twenty-two.
