Why would you need to use a web browser and all that stuff? All you
would need is a simple program that would sense the status of the wires
and send data whenever they changed. The problem is that it would be
really slow though as far as lag. Games would have to be written
expecially for that purpose (So if theres lag, it stalls, it doesnt tell
the user that theres no calc connected.)
