The future rushes at us faster than ever. PC Games move back into the browser as Facebook keeps growing and new "social" opportunities arise through new channels and platforms. Android growth forecasts are almost too good to be true. Tablet devices are the new "black", and radical new user input devices get everyone off the couch.
