ICBMs of friendship

No, that's not the start of a nuclear war. It's something much more friendly: a visualization of Facebook friend requests zooming around the globe. It's part of a three minute video produced by Palantir, a Java-powered Facebook Hackathon project that "visualizes all the data Facebook receives."

At the start of the video, the narrator mentions that they're using the JME framework. That's the open source jMonkey Framework, a "high performance scene graph based graphics API."
