Why is there sometimes a half-second delay between the click and the action?

Truth and deception – phishing
Of all the types of spam that make use of deception (ie, all of them), the most damaging of all of them are phishing messages. Phishing messages are when a spammer impersonates a legitimate entity — a form of reputation hijacking — in an attempt to trick the user into giving up personal information like banking information. The phisher then uses the information in order to steal money from the victim. So how do you recognize a phish? Microsoft has a good description on this. Below is a screen shot of a sample message: A good phish (and even a bad one) takes the form: A bank or financial institution.

Introduction
Before we get off to the fun stuff (a.k.a. programming), I think it’s best for me to introduce myself. I’m a developer at Microsoft working for MSN. I began programming around age 14, working in QBasic 4.5, and have been addicted ever since. My language of choice is C#, and I love to play with Silverlight, WPF, WCF, ASP.NET, SQL, HTML, Javascript, and whatever else it takes to get the job done. I decided to start this blog to share some of my projects and ideas, but just because I’m the guy with the blog, that doesn’t mean I’m right so make sure and comment and we’ll both learn
