The Swinxs console can talk, can recognize, encourages and explains games. It even acts as referee. The console is ...

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! "The 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows Server will be available and will be able to use all existing EC2 features such as Elastic IP Addresses, Availability Zones, and the Elastic Block Store. You'll be able to call any of the other Amazon Web Services from your application. You will, for example, be able to use the Amazon Simple Queue Service to glue cross-platform applications together.Existing EC2 tools will be able to launch Windows-powered EC2 instances. Once launched, you can use the Windows Remote Desktop or the rdesktop tool to access your instances."

This is a guest blog from Grant Jones. In the Algorithm Ink blog post, I mentioned that I’d be interested to see if a Flash implementation of ContextFree.js would be faster than the pure Javascript, and if so, how much faster.
