On his cell phone game thing:
* Discussed the fun his cell phone game development has been.
* Has thought about porting cell phone games over to the Nintendo DS.

On Quake 3:
* Security was on the minds of id during the development of Quake3.
* The recently patched Quake3 bugs were let into the game code in a later patch, not the original game code.
* Discussed the problems of releasing a game's source code while the game is still popular like they did with Quake3. Carmack polled the audience and asked if they thought he released Quake3's source code too early. Only a few raised their hands.

On modding:
* The current mod community is slacking because of the work it takes to make mods with such advanced games.

On his rocket-project:
* NVIDIA is sponsoring Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace corporation's rocket in the latest X-Prize completion.

id has no plans currently to implement physics card support. Carmack feels it will mostly be used for graphical gimmicks, and id has their own in house physics engine that they can use for whatever project they want. They feel physics cards could cause more problems in dev than they are worth, and that they will not change game play. With purely a graphics eye candy aspect they are not currently interested in the technology.

Carmack believes Cell is somewhat over hyped. It would not make a fast workstation CPU. He also believes that currently the cell power is 70% or more unused. He does believe Sony dodged a bullet by not using cell for the graphics.
