Or he could have just sat down at the computer (as a force of habit) without turning it on and turned on his glasses instead.
Still, I don't think this is really all that complicated. The glow in the glasses is the glare from the screen. Dora and Tai are looking at the same page simply because it's coincidence. It's a comic. Things sometime line up that neatly and simply because story has more structure than real life.
However way you want to spin it, the take home message from this strip is "Dale likes Marigold and doesn't know how to tell her" and "up to now, he's being going about it all wrong by stalking her because stalking is bad- (of which the glowing glasses are a reminder of Dale's looming in the alley-way days). And just in case you don't trust wikihow as a source, in an unrelated context, Dora and Tai verify not-stalking as good advice."

I started wondering about they could do so remotely, did Dora's basic website building knowledge now mean she could hack into his personal pc and see his screen...
Then I read the forum. I saw the more reasonable responses. I told my brain to stop thinking so round-a-bout!

Not to worry; this was one of the harder ones to parse. When I saw the third panel, I thought there was a layout error and an ad had been rendered on top of the comic. When I saw the fourth panel, I thought it belonged to a different comic. Took me a minute to piece together what was going on.

Someone help me out? How do we know Dale is stalking anyone, other than Jeph's cryptic note at the bottom which could be about anybody?

Apart from all the strips where he was stalking Mari through WoW and randomly jumping out of alleyways as she passed?
KOK:
For all we know he just happened to meet her. He talked to her. He then walked into an alleyway in a - not entirely successful - attempt to make a dramatic exit. That is hardly stalking.
I have no idea what is considered appropriate behaviour in WoW.
