What it does

On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2008

Google's public help forums, where users answered each other's questions about Google products.

Google announced the new Help Forums platform in November 2008, taking its help groups out of Google Groups. Groups itself had begun in February 2001, after Google took over Deja's Usenet archive, which reaches back to 1981.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
