David's Google Julia Plotting link: http://juliamap.google.com failed to load a page for me:

Browse around the Mandelbrot set using just Javascript and and HTML5-capable browser (works in Chrome, FF 3.6 and probably other modern browsers): http://juliamap.google.com

However, I found I could use these links to access Google's page: http://juliamap.googlelabs.com and: http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2011/01/julia-meets-html-5.html or: http://tinyurl.com/Googles-Julia-Plotting The page did OK at calculating the images -- until I goofed and opened it in a couple of tabs... Then it brought my XP system to a standstill. There's a very limited choice of the fractals you can generate in your HTML5-capable browser (with Javascript enabled). But, if a dog plays chess -- but very poorly -- it's still a dog playing chess... My Chrome browser window was updated in blocks as it calculated. I wonder if the code assigns the blocks to different cores on multi-core systems? It kind of looks like the final pass of their Fractint-like triple pass calculation might have some anti-aliasing in it.

---> Anyone care to comment on my conjectures? <---<<
