Strange happening - has DBSTalk been hacked?

[Nick]

A few minutes ago I was jumping from Potpourri to Programming & TV Talk when, for no apparent reason, a new window in NS opened with the home page of American Satellite. There was a blurb on the page welcoming members of DBSTalk. I don't have them bookmarked, nor did I have anything up that had a link to the site that I could have tapped on accidentally.

It acted like a pop-up, but it was a full iteration of an NS window. Instinctively, I closed the window like I usually do to all pop-ups Afterwards, I wished I had kept the page up for further investigation.

I tried to reproduce the occurance but with no luck. This is very strange to me and I have no clue as to how or why it happened.

Any ideas?

Mystery solved!

When I opened the jump list, the Programming & TV Talk selection was directly over the link to American Satellite. I must have double-tapped and after the first tap, the jump collapsed and the second tap fell on the link underneath. (I have my touchpad set for a single tap.)

I feel better now. :)

Damn Nick, you had me going there for a second. I thought American Satellite was playing some web tricks on us. :)
