The top green bad (Slashdot/Search/Feedback/Submit Story/Options/Account//Log out is on top of the text of the page. This is with Firefox 3.6.13 on Fedora 8 with Flashblock and Adblock Plus. If you load the a page, the green bar is on the top. Then hit space or page down to move down a page of text. The bar is covering the top of the line, so I loose 2 lines of text and need to scroll back up 2 lines every time.

So it must be true then!

Anyone know how to install on Fedora 9? If you find the install instructions (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-fedora.html), I try to install the rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm and it says I need a Fedora 10 machine.

rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm

According to the story at CBS News the person can turn it off on their phone at will. The video shows a test with a family. The reporter says the kid can disable it when ever they want and the parents say don't tell the kids that!
Some interesting results, one try showed the dad in the middle of the river!
