What you see are Contentlinks from kontera. But you are probably looking for some popup hover thing to use yourself? Search for "tooltips" or javascript tooltips and you'll find plenty examples

Incidentally, I hate those things. I think they're legitimate links from time to time & click on them. Also, the window doesn't go away quick enough.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

I agree. When used for advertisements they are awful. It would be ok if you use them wisely for "help" tooltips or something.
