Ghostzilla - The (Almost) Invisible Browser
by Jason Clarke Nov 22nd 2005 at 9:00AM
I hesitate to post about this particular download, because I don’t want to tempt anyone into getting themselves into trouble. Ghostzilla is a browser that blends so completely into most typical Windows office-related programs, that a casual bystander would not even recognize it as a browser. The most obvious use for this is to browse the web while at work when you ought to be doing something else, but as they admonish on the Ghostzilla site, this is “not a good idea; you can get fired (the network administrator sees everything you do) or end up wasting lots of time.” In fact, the makers of Ghostzilla don’t actually intend for people to use it, they consider it more of a form of computer art. Whatever it is, I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s still pretty cool. 
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Wow, I'm glad to see someone found this browser again. It disappeared off the map a few months ago, I had to email the creator just for a copy of it. Well, I've had lots of experience with it and I must say, Ghostzilla works very well. It was perfect for working with Frontpage 2000 in some of my web design classes.

This is good for embedding browser functions seamlessly into other applications. So it *does* have some good use...

I was browsing the Intarweb with this cool browser, when my boss caught me with it. I guess he even knew about this browser and was already expecting it's use in our company. Fortunately I didn't get fired but I got a warning. He said, if he catches me again, the company would have to let me go. (So his words).
