How 30 seconds dropped my bounce rate by 78%

I really wonder how useful the time-on-page metric is. Thanks to tabbed browsing, I might have your site open for 30 minutes, yet only look at it for 30 seconds.

The solution is to track mouse-movement/page-scrolling to check whether the user is interacting with the site.

Also, is it possible for javascript to check whether the site's tab and browser window is viewable and in the foreground?
