ah yes, forgot that one. He also wrote the V8 javascript engine that powers chrome.

Other notable Danes include Poul henning Kamp that among many other things wrote the varnish cache and Lars and Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen that wrote the original google maps.

The Eilstrup Rasmussen brothers also invented Google wave, but I'm not sure how big an accomplishment that is :-)

You may have heard of the Rasmussens' other project: it's now called Google Maps.
