Show HN: I created a mailbox-app clone for the Chrome developer console

Just copy and paste this to the console and hit Enter:

a=1000000; b=0; setInterval(function(){a-=34;b+=53;console.log('There are ' + a + ' before you and ' + b + ' behind you!')}, 1000);

You're welcome!

What am I missing? If it requires knowledge of recent news, I've been travelling for the past 2 days and have had very limited access to the world outside of my own head.

So far my investigation has lead me to the bottom of mailboxapp.com's homepage where there is a ticker which uses similar language to describe my placement in their app's user adoption.

Mailboxapp's iphone app displays the number of users waiting in the queue infront & behind you to access the app. Many people are claiming that it is a marketing ploy designed to create demand.

Clever!
