   Would really love this for live video. I know that it doesn't really make sense for gamers but I think their is a nice market in impromptu virtual conference rooms created by sharing a URL.

   I don't think that the graphics of Quake 3 are done in Javascript. I believe only the setup of games (team building, joining levels) is done with AJAXy things.

   I was speaking from general experience with USB wifi cards. Maybe the hardware just sucked and not the standard. :)

   There is USB Host so there is always the option of a USB based Wifi card. Not fast but possible.

   I accomplished this effect with Keywurl ( http://purefiction.net/keywurl/ ) but apparently it doesn't work with the beta.

   Would it be a good idea to combine link placement, reporting back to the server on every highlight and searching for the content later be a good combination?

   I pair programmed with a friend all the way through my graphics class. It worked out really well because my linear algebra was really strong and his C powers were unstoppable. We easily finished in half the time of other groups. I'll provid

    Unfortunately Handykey (makers of the Twiddler) are out of business for the time being. Fortunately, there is some work in our lab along with Chris George, founder of Handykey, to build a Bluetooth version of the Twiddler that follows the B

    Is EtherPad out of beta functionally equivalent to EtherPad in beta?

    That's the great thing about the Twiddler. With the right chord setup you can get crazy fast. My professor has used his wearable system for a long time and he can burst to 120wpm. Ref [1] shows info on how blind typing affects speed and acc

    Input is huge. I have a coworker who has done a lot of research on two thumb qwerty keyboards like the one on the Blackberry. He's actually found that users can type fairly accurately and upto 60wpm with about 400 minutes of practice [1]. A

    It would be useful for Snipt to automatically detect the language being used. You could maybe do detection in a way similar to highlight.js http://softwaremaniacs.org/soft/highlight/en/ I could imagine quickly pasting in a code, the detec

    A better measurement would be a count of unique pieces of media. With a high enough quality for ripping DVDs you could easily fill 2.5TB.
