Computer games disguised as Excel and Word documents which allow office workers to waste time without attracting the attention of their bosses are taking off on the web.
The suite of “hidden” games draw strong inspiration from early arcade and PC titles but are played against the backdrop of what appear to be genuine office applications.

In one game, called Leadership, the player must direct a space ship between two lines of a graph.
Another involves destroying blocks of the same colour before a wall of bar charts fills the screen, like the cult puzzle game Tetris.
A third game Breakdown is derived from the Atari classic Breakout – but with the bricks replaced by dry corporate text. Words in bold and italics must be hit twice to disappear.

The Flash games, which launch in plausibly bland pop-up windows, are available to play at the website CantYouSeeImBusy.com which was developed by four programmers in the Netherlands.

pretty sad when job security in the large places is at an all time high while others are getting shit for wages elsewhere where the work is real work

I'm not accusing the report about that.

i'm making a point about people that are being paid to do nothing and people that can't get paid to do something.
