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.
