digitalsidhe, I was going to run this on a site I write for. Unfortunately, the editor felt it was too old, so I'll just post it here for your amusement.
I'm sure many of you have experienced the delights of having a feline owner to coddle and worship. And, while they enjoy our attentions, they could care less when they disrupt our lives.
A personal favorite is the hacker cat, or perhaps I should say h4xx0r c4t. Although they are the image of silky grace when they pad across our keyboards, all sorts of interesting things can happen to our (comparatively unimportant) work when they do so. And by interesting, I do mean bad.
Bitboost, however, now brings us the solution to this not-so-ageless quandary with a program called PawSense. According to their site, this program will detect cat-like typing and lock your computer. It will even play a loud, discordant sound to help train the dastardly feline that walking on your keyboard is a Bad Idea.
Unfortunately for those who enjoy both felines and Apples, Bitboost apparently feels that Apple owners defile their feline gods. Or perhaps, they haven't gotten around to writing a version for Macs.
