Remember the classic RTS known as Command & Conquer? Well, an enterprising coder, Aditya Ravi Shankar, actually recreated the strategy game using nothing but HTML5, where it runs on 69k of Javascript. Why did he set out on such an adventure? For starters, Shankar’s attempt was a self-mandated undertaking in order to improve his coding skills, where he gave himself a one month window to rebuild the game in the browser, and had to comb through the original game’s files in order to obtain all the right sprites, sounds and specs.

This has led to speculation that the company is planning to silently recall the iPhone 4, and implement whatever solution that the fruity company has come up with. Of course, considering the amount of work needed by both parties, could Apple actually be busy running a silent recall for the iPhone 4?
