This is a great effect. Let me tell you what it does first and then you can try it out for yourself. The image below is of an 1864 painting by Francis B. Carpenter entitled "The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation Before the Cabinet". I've always liked it and it lends itself to this
tutorial. The picture is an image map. But wait...there's more.
When you place your pointer over top of Lincoln's face, you will immediately get an enlarged version of the left side of the image. Ditto the guy with the beard, a member of the cabinet, sitting to Lincoln's left. Try it. The map will just flip for you. Once flipped, let your pointer sit for a minute. A tool tip will pop up.
eMarketer.com - Gamer Demographics Spread Out Annotated
Now, advertisers, game developers and console manufacturers are getting a better look at who plays their games. Greater connectivity and digital rights management technologies reveal that although there are still plenty of young male console gamers, casual gamers are predominantly female, according to an Information Solutions Group (ISG) study commissioned by PopCap Games.
PopCap's user base is not the only casual gaming group that skews female. Casual gaming on portals like EA's Pogo and Yahoo! Games are dominated by women, according to veteran game designer Steve Meretsky. Mr. Meretsky revealed the demographic data in a panel sponsorted by the International Game Developers Association, where he listed reasons why casual games attract a more female audience.

April 12 (Bloomberg) -- Google Inc. looks for ideas that are
``really crazy'' when sizing up potential purchases, the Internet
company's top dealmaker said.
``We look at everything very carefully,'' Salman Ullah,
Google's director of corporate development, said yesterday in a
speech at a meeting of the Los Angeles Venture Association. ``The
really crazy ones do really well.''
Google, owner of the most-popular Internet search engine,
has about 15 people working on acquisitions that meet with dozens
of companies a week, Ullah said. Mountain View, California-based
Google responds to every e-mail pitching a company, while phone
calls have a 10 percent response rate, he said.
The search engine, which had more than $11 billion in cash
at the end of the fourth quarter, last year bought video-sharing
site YouTube Inc. and DMarc Broadcasting Inc. to move into the
market for radio advertising. Google also bought smaller startups
including online software company JotSpot Inc.
