What is Mouse Follower?

Mouse Follower or Cursor Trail is typically an image or set of images which follows the cursor in your browser screen.

Problem:

Today I was asked to enhance the existing mouse trail feature of a website. They were using 3 or 4 PNG images to make the mouse trail. But the problem was that images were inline. While our client wanted some more advanced animation with mouse trail/follower. And that animation was not possible without using flash animation in it.

mobile-phone

It is common that when we change Sim card of our Mobile Phone we lose all the dialed and received numbers.

And we lose the numbers we received/dialed some days/weeks ago. however, most of the calls we receive/dial to numbers which are saved in either our phone or Sim card memory. But three are times when you received a call from an unknown number two weeks ago and today you need to know the number, but chances are you have lost that number as new numbers have taken place in your recived call history.
