Google's mysterious, if not ominous Nexus Q has already been hacked to launch apps of varied origins, but there's one particular app that stands above all: Pong. Or, Brick Defender -- you know, what's a generic title amongst friends?

We'll let you get right to the action; the video's embedded after the break, and the code snippet necessary to duplicate it is there in the source below.
