DontClick.it is an interesting exercise in usability experiments. I could see this being useful in an immersive interface where clicking and mouse-overs are combined for quicker interactions.

This shot of volcanic lightning looks like a shot right out of a science fiction horror film but it’s a natural phenomenon. The story here gets the science a bit wrong. The process that creates the lightning is not from ionizing the atmosphere. It’s more likely to do with static buildup created from the ash particles brushing past each other in the turbulence.
