This reminds me of my little sister's Christmas wishlist she left on our parent's fridge. One of the items reads "Kitten OR IPod Touch".

Sorry for the useless bug report. The exact problem is that when the ball hit's either the opponent's paddle or yours a message box appears reading "INVALID_STATE_ERR: DOM Exception 11".
