I hear mutterings, like dark little whispers, or tiny disturbances in the Force. These voices I hear, they don't like the Snap preview thingie. It's annoying. It doesn't work. It gets in the way.
Well, quit yer fuh-reakin' whining. I'm fixing it. Dig? I already fixed it so it doesn't work on comments or on my "About Me" thing. I especially fixed it so it doesn't work on images. That was the worst. Inadvertently float your pointer over an image and pop! another image would pop up, just like one of those annoying, uh, pop-ups. Well, I fixed that. Here's proof:
See? No pop-up preview there, yet plenty o' pop-up preview here. Gaw DAMN I'm smart.
So anyway. I was walking down Yan'an Xilu one sweltering summer day, under the elevated road, minding my own business, preparing to sell more trade secrets to the Chinese, when my eagle eye espied the trap that a security company in the hire of my corporate employer had laid for me. If you study this photograph, taken with the camera cleverly hidden in a piece of equipment commonly carried by tourists (my cleverness amazes even me sometimes), maybe you too can see the principals in this vain entrapment scheme: the faux policeman, the supposed speedster, the lookout man relaying to his cohorts my every move. Hah! Such amateurs. With studied nonchalance I casually turned down Zhaohua Lu, and when out of sight, vaulted a wall, sped through a construction site and down a few alleyways, and hailed a taxi on Changning. Ha HAH!

I think the pop-ups are a pretty good idea that just need a little refinement. They're fun, though. I wonder if this is something Firefox could program into the browser itself, with a little user-friendly control. Or maybe there's already something like that. Oh well. Anyway, your modifications have improved the overall experience--but what else should I expect of a recumbent engineer?
Much better, Lord Peasoup.
Nifty.
Roy, check out cooliris.com. It's not quite as nifty as the snap thing, but I like it.
