The scary Google Dot !
Okay,
Here's something very (very) interesting. There's a dot in my Gmail that's been scaring me since morning 😭.
Here it is -
![[IMG]](proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm4.static.flickr.com%2F3269%2F2652582486_d6de6a29e5_o.png&hash=95105fa44d1a319d43f0cc268f773eca)
The above screenshot has been taken while Gmail was loaded using FireFox 3 browser. I guess its there in IE7 too.
So, what's going on in that dot? Probably a tiny camera that's keeping watch on me while I'm in front of my computer? Is that how Google's going to tell me about stuff I'm trying to find out? 😒
Come on fellas, what is that dot doing there?

I'm using IE7 and I'm not seeing it. -
Kaustubh KatdareStrange. I checked it on IE7 too. Its not there!
But Firefox continues to show the ugly, scary dot. -
Ashraf HZI'm not too sure myself. I've noticed that dot since last week, and always assumed it was an ajax thing 😛

You surely don't know what AJAX is 😁 .ashI'm not too sure myself. I've noticed that dot since last week, and always assumed it was an ajax thing 😛

Ashraf HZWell, it could be anything. You could certainly code something in ajax to produce that dot, you know 😉

Ashraf HZBiggie, here's some clues:

It seems to be some iframe/CSS thingy to hold a "sound" object. The frame is given a zero size, so you get that box.
... I was close! Sorta 😛 -
gohmLooks like Microsoft is spying on users of other operating systems in hopes of blackmailing them back to MS?
only kidding MS! (sort of 😀) -
Ashraf HZBlackmailing? 😛

KINETIC_JOULESI don't like IE. . . it's too slow. I only use mozilla. It's like 5 times faster and not virus prone like IE is. . .
