This is insanely good. How the hell does it work? It's not flash, or a java applet.

it's javascript and html, but they're still using flash for sound.

I think they've out done themselves this time.

This killed my productivity today before I even had a chance to get started.

It kinda caught me off guard. At first I thought it was just an image...then the music started playing....and I shat a brick .

Google has a warehouse full of network connected pac man machines, that they have been slowly accumulating from ebay over the years. It's estimated that, at this point, they have acquired between 75% and 90% of all the pac man machines ever built. They are currently in talks with Toru Iwatani - pacman's creator, to discuss the production of more units, to meet global demand. However, you are probable asking how the made the front screen - that actual game that you see. Well, thanks to HTML5's new canvas function, the google front page opens a web worker that launches on the load-balanced pac man arcade cluster, giving you actual direct access to the hardware needed to run the game. Reports are still fuzzy on how the game was reconfigured to spell google, but since they have managed to reprogram the pac man systems to function well beyond their original specifications, a simple redesigned map is clearly well within their capabilities.

fucking awesome
