Hmm. As far as I've seen these ads are just 350x250 and 300x100 blocks. I've never seen the layout or styling of a subreddit modified for an ad. And I imagine many of the communities being very upset if this did happen (Imagine EA branded /

It seemed like most of the comments when the article was on HN were saying that this is not a very good workout... Having said that, cool site, looks great!

Very neat! I wonder if there would be a decent way of including more of some of the default subs without adding too much noise.

Friend of mine is deaf and hates going to the movies but loves watching them at home with CC. This is awesome!

I'd be curious to see the performance differences between this drawing on 2d canvas, webgl and similar code in plain JS. Mostly curious at that webgl benchmark

At $1500 I certainly don't plan on owning one. Depending on price points I could see buying one

ZombiU? Great? I dunno about that. The others I have and are good but my WiiU mostly collects dust.

Hm interesting that you don't need an existing Costco membership. I hope they are able to expand service beyond SF!

Can't say, but I imagine it is similar to the chapter in his book about it: http://natureofcode.com/book/chapter-9-the-evolution-of-code... Highly worth paying for, Shiffman rocks!

Dang, they were later known for their utilities, but I was raised on some of their games on OS9 and X! Apeiron, Bubble Trouble, Uplink, Escape Velocity (and sequels), Barrack, Swoop and of course Maelstrom. A few were definitely remakes of
