I was looking for a sample of Bob Newhart doing one of his famous telephone gags where all you get to hear is his side of the conversation and all the comedy is implied and off-stage. Instead I came across this cell phone ad.
Since we’re talking about the problems of filling information voids with emotional reactions (emotional projection), I thought it apt.

Hi!
Nice blog - I’ll subscribe later. However, I should note that in one of my default browsers - Konqueror, I don’t have Flash, because it is either that or full-Flash all the time. (And I hate them intrusive Flash ads). On Firefox, I normally use FlashBlock which makes surfing much more enjoyable, but I’m also using Konqi a lot.
In any case, if you just embed the Flash applet, then I don’t see anything and have to figure out there’s something beside the snothing. So please also include the link to the applet or the .flv on YouTube or where-ever. Otherwise, it’s bad usability.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
