We hope you aren't curious about Nolan Bushnell's (http://www.tuaw.com/2012/05/31/nolan-bushnell-and-atari-on-pong-steve-jobs-and-touch-interfac/) game development history... you may find yourself sucked into a time sink. Microsoft has quietly added an option to play Pong in Bing (https://www.bing.com/search?q=pong) (Bing Pong, get it?) if you search for the digital table tennis classic in your browser. It's not a novel concept, and it certainly isn't the most advanced -- Google's Cube Slam (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/12/google-cube-slam/) experiment is on another level. It's surprisingly addictive, however, and might offer just the right amount of '70s gaming nostalgia (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/01/atari-pong-review/) to tide you over when you're stuck at work.
