Well, we have to see what we loose and what we gain. It is like that everywhere. You would think photoshop would never replace pen and paper and darkroom. Or doom would never replace paintball.
Ofcourse, if they can make **fast enough** and fun games that you don't need to download they'll be very popular. Plus they can stick an advertisement on the online version and make it free. Which is why many people would rather play the free one rather than paying to buy it.
Good idea. And a "password/PIN/finger print reader" for that device to prevent stealing and an option for the user to select which identities to expose to solve privacy issues. So when you go to gas station your put your finger on the device and use it as your debit. Then if they wanted to check your id as well you click something or say sth, with voice recognition wth!) and let them see your id. etc.
Dude, I would say just relax for a bit. Take a day off, go outside for a walk or hike or something. I guess he is too stressed out with work and stuff. The cool geeks I know all love lots of LEDs every where.
Yes, there is this software: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~nowozin/autopano-sift /
It is GPL'ed but the problem is that it is using a patented algorithm (SIFT features) so it is not free to use in commercial applications without paying I guess.
Well, there's nothing special there other than they query google using wget with a faked IE agent and then parsing the HTML result. Hmm, may be you mean the sleep between each queries. Yes, that may helps. But still it is against the terms of services, if not illegal, but I guess that means Google do not allow them to use its services.
Hmm, That is not the first one, there are lots of other tools around, the most famous one Player/Stage has a well developed architecture and many universities, companies and people around the world are using that.

Wasn't that in Atlantis?

Well, the last time I used it, it was using near 4-5MB per widget. Better than firefox but still too much when you run 10 of'em.
Kinda late, but here it is. Map is working: http://www.pooyak.com/utils/dgc2005/
Speed info: http://www.pooyak.com/utils/dgc2005/ Google map should be easy too. I may give it a shot.
