Google's "Native Client"

I watched a very interesting presentation from google the other day about this new technology called "Native Client". It looks and sounds very impressive. I'm glad to see Google is taking all the right steps to allow native code in the browser instead of jumping in head-first like Microsoft and creating an ActiveX clone which spawns security holes in our browsers for the next 10 years.

Below is a link to the official Native Client website as well as a presentation about it. The presentation goes for about an hour but is worth listening to as it gives a good insight into what they've already acheived and what their goals are for the project.
