Great idea!
If only searching on your site brought up exactly the same themes as searching on Themeforest (eg: searching for "Landing Page" on Themeforest returns 150 results while doing the same on TheThemeList brings up just 6).

I actually own the domain NewCircles.com and was working on an idea very similar to what Google has done here (including group video chat) but with emphasis on users finding and joining NEW circles instead of just organizing existing friends into circles. Think Meetup mashed with Facebook with a dash of Chatroulette.
After this announcement I'm not sure if I should continue working on my project...

I've never heard of Houdini so I had to look it up (it's a purely procedural 3D animation package): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houdini_(software)
Here is their demo reel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leJks6ay4tg
Apparently Maya, Softimage and 3DS Max are not the only players in this space anymore.

SFU was replaced with SUA in Vista. SUA supports more of the POSIX standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX

This approach is higher performance, officially supported by Microsoft and comes with all Ultimate Vista/7 installations. Cygwin runs as a user-mode app that emulates the POSIX environment using the underlying Windows APIs. SUA is an integrated subsystem that is on the same level in the kernel stack as the Windows subsystem (that's being used by every Windows app out there). By being so close to the kernel, SUA is able to use undocumented APIs within the kernel to achieve greater performance than Cygwin.

Why not do it behind the scenes?
Simply use the existing MD5/SHA1 hash as input to bcrypt and update all password hashes in your database in one go. Then, whenever the user logs in you first apply the old hash function followed by bcrypt before comparing with what you have in the DB.

You can also take 1. to the extreme and write a mini-OS from scratch. Bootloader and all.

The project is based on the Quest3D engine, so a wrapper had to be written to expose Awesonium in the engine. The whole thing is open-sourced, so feel free to use the wrapper for your own Quest3D projects.
The biggest advantages that we found when using Awesonium as a GUI rendering system are the following:
- Support for highly interactive Flash GUI components. In fact, we embedded Flash videos/lessons directly in the game and let Awesonium do the rendering through its Flash plug-in.
- Seamless migration of the GUI content from the game's lesson browser to the internet. All HTML/Flash lessons can be accessed in the game as well as just online through a regular browser with no changes in the code.
