   relocate close but not too close to your parents, and get a desk job where you actually have 50% free time to do whatever you want, start or contribute to some open-source software, rebuild your life for a few years then get back in the gam

   I second this, don't forget Jobs' experience with "creative" spaces like the offices of Pixar.

   Well the revenue share from AdSense was revealed to be in the 65% range. So given a poor profitability by Google in the next few million years, it could still work.

   When I read the title I believed an AR.Drone from Parrot ( http://www.parrot.com/usa/ ) would fly to me and read my mail ;-) (They have an API I think so that may actually not be too far-fetched...)

    I think given the severity and potential criminal lawsuits for this nobody will step out right away, however I'm pretty sure the geohot story pissed off some good hackers who found something to do in their spare time...

    nice work! I think the camera angle should switch faster because it's a bit weird to direct with the arrow keys and the camera orientation delay

    I've got the precompiler working quite well. Interestingly, it translates the redcode/pMARS code line-to-line to Javascript which is then executed to produce the assembly. redcode is indeed a mess, clearly the result of an evolving and blur

    yep I'm currently wrestling with it. I've a prototype that precompiles EQU and FOR/ROF and I'll try uploading it to github when it's a bit more tested.

    great idea! slap me for being so 90s but would it also be possible to have it degrade into a small <table> when canvas is not supported?

    I, for one, would like some of these micro-optimizations to make their way into the mainstream frameworks ; I don't see my.js getting big in the current state of things but merged into jQuery, it could really help us all :)

    Am I the only one to think there is some kind of real-time Google Earth stuff going on behind the scenes, supposedly in their labs ? $41M, I can clearly see how that would fund a face/shape/... recognition engine, reconstruct some 3D models

    yes, good catch. we can improve the interface but also one of our main problems is the reliability of the current tag data, which is too low. We're considering a process with mechanical turk to fix it. Anybody here with experience with mtur
