What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2006
Microsoft's built-in antivirus for Windows, which began as a free anti-spyware download for Windows XP.
It was once called Windows Defender, shipped with Windows Vista and Windows 7, and grew into a full antivirus. In 2019 and 2020 Microsoft announced versions of the Defender line for Mac, Android and iOS.
In 2006: Still only an anti-spyware program, downloadable for Windows XP and on its way into Windows Vista.
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.
