Technology is scary and confusing by laudablepuss 01/22/2008, 5:06pm PST
Two telemarketers FREAKED OUT when their mouse pointers started moving of their own accord! HAVE WE BEEN HACKED??!!?! they emailed me frantically. Because, obviously, a hacker would try to hit us in our weakest spot: our telemarketer computers. It's a cunning plan. Alert Lou Dobbs -- the hackers are undoubtedly foreigners.

Actually, they're using wireless mice and keyboards (they brought them in themselves -- we don't give those out), and a third telemarketer nearby has a wireless mouse as well. Turns out, these guys sometimes get their signals crossed. Which leads me to ask: what the hell is the point of these things? The versions these guys have use a receptor with a USB waaaaaaahr, much like a regular mouse might have, that connects to the PC. Then they move the mouse around within a few inches of it. Totally sweet?
