Doesn't work for long distances. A large metroplex is about as big an area as can be selected and he was talking about driving across the Midwest.

With the physical switches and full sized USB and HDMI ports he is asking for, the case will need to be thicker. This should make plenty of room for a battery two or three times bigger. It doesn't sound like weight is an issue for him. The software requests seem reasonable.

Played fine in Chrome (On windows). It appears to be HTML5 video.

Carmack mentioned using some Microsoft technology for the texture compression. That might give them some problems.

Too bad the mobile browser on Android doesn't sync with those bookmarks. Mobile Firefox does sync with desktop Firefox.

It may not be prominent, but it is there.
