EETimes.com - Are you suffering from ‘Mouse Rage Syndrome?
A phenomenon as monumental as the Internet should have an ailment of its own. Indeed, the Web appears to be breeding its very own disease, a medical syndrome recognizable by a quickening of the heart, profuse sweating, and furious clicking and bashing of the mouse. In extreme cases, the ailment can be identified by loud screaming at video screens.
It’s Mouse Rage Syndrome, and it infects all Internet users sooner or later, according to a study[…]
What’s the root cause of Mouse Rage Syndrome? It’s primarily caused by badly designed and hosted Web sites, according to the research center.

The first thing I do when visiting ANY MySpace page is to reach for my ZAP CSS bookmarklet button. It instantly removes any and all crap that MySpace is so famous for allowing and gives me a nice clean text-only version.
Too many MySpace-ians know just enough to be dangerous on an already rubber-banded and scotch-taped together platform.
The bookmarklet (found at http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html) is located approximately 7 links down. Right click it - save it to your bookmarks (or drag it to a toolbar) and never be a MySpace victim again.
Thanks for sharing this study Augie!

Wow, I’m going to have to use that bookmarklet. Gracias, my namesake!
And now I’m going to change my name here cause two people signing as just “Phil” is going to confuse someone, and by “someone” I mean probably me. :)
