Actually, it's just one dude. I saw a little tv clip about him once. His entire job is to come up with goofy logos so people on forums can trash talk them. Best job evah!

holy crap I just played both players at once and almost had a heart attack! It adds this whole layer of strategy because you can lead ms pac-man off in a suicide mission to draw away the ghosts and then have (uh...mr.) pac-man eat a power pellet at the last second to save her.

PAC-MAN is playable on iPad and modern smartphones (Nexus One, iPhone 3GS, Palm Pre, etc.). Not available on mobile homepage but doodle will appear if people switch to the classic mode (iPad uses Classic as default).

Sound may be flash, but the game is javascript - it works on the iPad (though is a bit too fiddly)

Don't think kids are gonna just STOP using FAcebook any time soon, tho. But wasn't the same said for Myspace's heyday? When I first got my FB account it def never seemed like Myspace was gonna go out of style.

Since Twitter corp seems pretty dedicated to shitty monetisation and is making a load of fuckups on the way I think it would make a softer target for Google right now. Especially since it's mostly public and users are happy to be public, which is what Google wants.
― stet, Sunday, 13 March 2011 16:41 (2 years ago) Permalink
i think the thing w/any twitter killer - which is to say a sort of a la carte broadcast signal - is that it truly has to be a platform - like twitter and facebook sort of claim theyre platforms but they also want to be free to be apps when they want and squeeze out developers
def one of the scenarios in the future for twitter/facebook failure is that a lot of what they do gets taken over in a ho hum nbd way by an open standard and it just becomes like email or w/e and no one even really notices cause its such a mundane thing by then
thats kind of what dave winer is thinking abt http://scripting.com/stories/2011/01/03/rebootingRssRevisited.html
anyway as far as this im skeptical that google can succeed w/a copycat 'social network' - fb/twitter imo at this point are too big to be taken down by something that obviously looks like them - its the new idea that theyve got to worry abt
also i mean lol orkut and buzz - third times the charm right

Got it. You have to change the program at the bottom so that the 5 digit target in the top right matches the number on the main tape. There are 6 levels, each one corresponding to a letter in 'Google', which lights up when you've figured out the sequence for that letter.
