Don't do shit on hover
Seriously. I move my mouse pretty much indiscriminately and I don't want shit happening as I move it all over my goddamn lawn. Screen lawn. My goddamn screen lawn.
The new Google image search does shit on hover. You move the mouse somewhere and it's all "HEY HERE'S SOME POTENTIALLY-USEFUL SHIT ABOUT THAT THERE IMAGE." (earlier revisions had me saying "some useless shit about that there image" but actually the shit is potentially useful)
But the problem is that it covers other images! Fuckers.
Excuse me, I'm feeling particularly vulgar today. But seriously. Don't do shit on hover. Where the mouse be at? Don't matter none. User clickin'? Do some serious shit. Don't do shit unannounced. That's the rule of UI design.
Well, rule 33. We'll cover the next rule later on. I may need guest writers for that one.
