One of our family friends came over tonight complaining of her cursor going missing after applying the Windows 8.1 upgrade to her new laptop. After a lot of fussing with it for 20 minutes and some google-fu I found this thread:

Which explains that for whatever reason toggling the trackpad disable button causes the cursor to re-appear and stay visible even when re-disabling it. Quite an irritating bug.

Apparently http://healthcare.gov  is more complex than OS X 10.4+Windows Vista+Facebook+Office 2013+The Linux Kernel Combined.
