Ironically, the more interested I am in part of a page the less likely my mouse is going to be over or even anywhere near it. I find the pointer distracting.

If I'm interested in the content of a page, I either swipe the mouse off to the edge of the screen or put it on an area of whitespace so I can scroll with the scroll wheel.

The thought that people are hovering their pointers over stuff they're actively looking at strikes me as odd. Oh well.
