That's really neat.. though it seems that they missed (or skipped?) a big opportunity... they could have an alternate photo, or a series of them to show the actual "pressing" of links, as in against the glass of the mirror. Very neat idea overal though - that must be one of the largest cursors ever.
Oooh... that WOULD be cool. An animation of pushing the links could have been too much bandwidth....but a separate OnMouseDown photo could have been very cool.
I somewhat want a cursor like that for my machine. If I could make the hand fade/transparent....
Actually.. if someone made a reverse version (looking at the back of the hand), it could be sort of helpful to those who use a track pad. I wonder if it would make using a trackpad easier and more intuitive. In fact, you could get around the whole transparency issue if there was a way to trigger it on/off when the trackpad is being used. Of course something like this (scroll down to pics) might work better (for windows users anyways).
