Orbitz Hijacking Cursors At Competing Sites
from the marketing-gimmicks dept
Orbitz has signed a deal with Comet Systems so that anyone who has the Comet software installed (and many people do) will see their cursor turn into Orbitz fare info while they’re surfing at Travelocity or Expedia. I don’t know about most people, but I think that would freak me out a bit, to see my mouse displaying other fare data from a competing site.

I already know better than to have Comet Cursor installed. Now that I know that Orbitz is dealing with them, I will make sure my future airline tickets purchases are from anyone but them. (I also have some X10 stuff, but since they’ve gone mad with popups I’m not buying any more.)
Re: SCREW COMET CURSOR!!!
Yeah screw that stupid comet shit. Want to have some fun? Try installing it and removing it later. The thing literally re-installs itself after you hit del! It resides in all sorts of places on your hd and is just a nasty worthless ad generator. do yourselves a favor and DO NOT install it
