Tired of playing around with Android apps in your web browser courtesy of Amazon's virtual machine? Well, thanks to super hero programmer Fabrice Bellard, you can now try your hand at something a little more challenging. "For fun," he built a complete PC emulator in JavaScript, and then used it to run a fully functioning version of Linux in a web browser. How did it turn out? You can hit up the source link below to try it out for yourself.
