Once you've finished a round it will estimate your "brain age". Seems I cannot get below 24. I suppose that's pretty decent since I'll be 34 in a few months :)

How do you score?

I like TweetDeck, but its memory usage is bringing my machine to its knees:

Is this a memory leak in TweetDeck, or is there a general problem with the Adobe AIR platform? What would you suggest to use instead of TweetDeck? Twhirl?
