Love-struck hacker proposes using 'Bejeweled'

I just thought this was interesting in a weird way. Bernie Peng who is a financial software programmer decided to propse to his girlfriend by reprogramming her favorite game, Bejeweled. He programmed it in a way so that when she reached a certain score a ring and a marriage proposal would show up. He said it took him a month to reprogram the game. Eventhough most game companies would be mad about someone manipulating their games, this company wasn't because of his ability to change the program around.

LOL. I think thas is a great way to propose if his girlfriend is a gamer. Romantic.

I have a friend who use assembly language to create a window-like platform for his girlfriend. However, he didn't get her heart...
