He's definitely instrumental in what's called the "mundane" singularity, if the tech one doesn't happen.

Even if he has, I'm sure he will prioritize his vision of gameplay over realism. He's already demonstrated that by mentioning cloaking fields.

Can you simply change the account information to, for example, help your parents stop junkmail to their address?

If so, make sure to advertise that you can help others do this in addition to your home address.

I was hoping this would be a system that determines what kind of faces go with different kinds of names, like "Hm, he doesn't really look like a Steve."

What's the chance of this kind of thing occurring and simultaneously NOT requiring a new test anyway?

I hope, along with fixing everything else about Google Bookmarks, they add a feature to automatically +1 all of your bookmarks.

How much of the fun of this game is dependent on geographical location? Would it be worth playing at all in small towns/cities? Similarly, how would having friends you see every day playing affect it?

This would be a lot more difficult if it weren't for the sound and image - it occupied parts of my mind that would go crazy without any stimulation for that long.

The price should begin to reduce itself with a function of rate of signups.

Very similar concept to Borge's short story The Library of Babel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel

The dev seems pretty devoted, and also very vocal on his Facebook page at least. There's already an update waiting for review at Apple. Hopefully we're in for some good additions soon.
