HTML5 but not Firefox? rly?

Firefox 4 works! or so I've been told. Text rendering only looks good on Mac I've heard. Daniel is looking into that soon though..

I'm not specially picky with typography, but they look just fine for me in Ubuntu/Chrome.

I'm not sure how 'useful' it would be, but what if you could overlay this on any web page you wanted, like that asteroids bookmarklet from yesterday. You could have the option to turn it on or off. Kind of an ability to see some real time comments overlay on articles or something. Or just a way to 'hang out' on the HN homepage. Each webpage would have it's own room. It would be like creating an instant chat overlay o…

That would be rather easy. Make a bookmarklet that redirects you to a site, which then presents you the page with an overlay. Cross-site scripting policies prevent a naive implementation. I think it already has been tried. I don't think it's all that useful, but if you really want, send me an email (see my profile for address), and I will build it for you.

Ha, I love the idea, but I have no idea how it would be implemented. If you want to make it, go ahead. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested. I'll come back once I understand how the internet works.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Tadpoles. Right...

It's actually true, in norwegian 'rumpetroll' means tadpole http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumpetroll but the literal translation is "ass troll", yes, seriously. that's why it's extra fun! especially if you are swedish like me ;)

I thought "rumpetroll" was a fake word along the lines of "guleböj" and "brusefåtölj" when I saw it. Fellow Swede here.

Some snippets of interest. Control maximum speed: /js/Tadpole.js line 12: this.maxMomentum = 3; Send a message: app.sendMessage(string) Message length: /js/WebSocketService.js line 113

You can set a few other parameters like your size, too. Unfortunately, no one else can see it. I was the biggest sperm you never saw.
