Beware of Yellow

So, the yellow fade has been championed for some reason by the ajax community as the solution for notifying users that their content has been updated. Seems a bit weak as a usability solution, no? Does it sound like conspiracy to you? Probably not. However, yellow has continued to have a checkered (taxi pun, hmm, possibly intended) year as reported by the Washington Post. It seems that your Xerox printer has been sending out a monochromatic beacon disguised inside your printouts, and the government is watching. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the article reports that an intern from the EFF cracked the yellow dot “code” in a week.
