eye candy: /i:´ kand`ee/, n. [from mainstream slang “ear candy”] A display of some
sort that's presented to lusers to keep them
distracted while the program performs necessary background tasks.
“Give 'em some eye candy while the back-end
slurps that BLOB into
core.” Reported as mainstream usage among players of graphics-heavy
computer games. We're also told this term is mainstream slang for soft
pornography, but that sense does not appear to be live among
hackers.
