Solve : down with hovering pop ups!?

1.	Solve : down with hovering pop ups!?
Answer» How many of you can actually say that you have read and used a "hovering pop up"? And how many can say that it is a total irritation? I bet Mac does not do hovering pop UPS just Micrsoft. Think of how much energy is used programing them, and for what? If you mean the ones on websites that have ads in them, they don't care what OS or hardware you use. If you mean the ones in Windows that POPUP information about files etc, then hardly any "energy" went into programming them. They are part of the UI. I often find them useful. how about the ones on web sites and ieI use Adblock Plus in Firefox so i don't have this issue. Quote from: ricky2me on December 10, 2011, 08:39:44 AM How many of you can actually say that you have read and used a "hovering pop up"? I can't. Mostly because I have no idea what a "hovering pop up" is. How is a "hovering" pop-up different from a normal pop-up? Are we talking about ads? Quote And how many can say that it is a total irritation? Again, no idea what you are referring to so I cannot say one way or another. The only reference I can find seems to apply to web ads. (LINK) Quote I bet Mac does not do hovering pop ups just Micrsoft. Well I can say with some certainty that the link I gave above works fine in Linux Mint 10, which to my understanding is not "done" by Microsoft. Nor was the Firefox browser within which it was viewed. Pop-ups advertisements have nothing to do With Internet Explorer or any specific Operating System in use. Actually, when I first read this I thought maybe it was referring to Tooltips, but that would be SILLY, since all major Operating Systems have had a implementation of Tooltips for over 15 years.
