#52Now, this is an ad-blocker with style.
Now to see something like this work with a net-enabled 3D television.

#53Nice! Maybe it can be hooked up to a gmail or facebook stream to literally "destroy" spam or unwanted messages... email cleanliness could be a few laser shots away :-)

I hacked together a very (very) basic multiplayer with a paper-thin node.js server in coffeescript.
Yes, really: http://github.com/cushman/asteroids.js
It might deserve a newspost of its own, but I'd like to have a working server running so people can actually, you know, use it. Unfortunately, I haven't thought to get node running on my VPS before now, and it's almost 02:00 here...

Use Secure Login for Firefox! https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4429
(lol, seriously though, it highlights "real" login fields based on domain for the page/frame which can't be spoofed and does a one-click login rather than typing it in - you can't get "fooled" because you should never be typing anything)

#60Let's have a leader board for every site with Points accumulated/second. "Kunjan Killed this site with a score of 1700". Are headings and hidden fields worth more points?
