I love it. It seems to work fine in Firefox, although the real cursor starts flashing when it's above the Like button.

That's because there's a transparant DIV above the Facebook iFrame, cycling on/off every few milliseconds. This is required to maintain the fake cursor's position (without it when the real cursor was over the iFrame the 'fake' cursor would stop moving).

In Chrome on Windows, it looks fine except when you're hovering over the button, when the real cursor suddenly appears.
