Your ideas about front-end and back-end are interesting. Nevertheless, you are making stuff way too complicated. Especially 2) is over-design. I would preconise a Lakatos-style approach, i.e. bottom-up, letting things grow slowly as needs are expressed. Trial and error tend to work rather well.
Funny team-up: UC Berkeley and a Microsoft incubator ( or "accelerator" ). Nevertheless - if I could be sure to have the full source code of this project on an on-going basis, I could be tempted to re-use this in customer projects. Timelines are interesting GUI elements.
Well heck yes, it is credible. Consoles are dedicated devices, whilst Google et al. develop for smartphones. Historically, dedicated devices are losers as soon as all-rounders begin to overwhelm the market.
You may be one of the poor blokes on board of the fusion-drive destroyer "Dilbert", the one that flew through that blue giant's corona and had its entire crew irradiated with mind-waves, there ?
No. That was in 2961 CE. You are referring to the old infra-galactic cruiser named "Enterprise". TFA is on about the hocuspocus-core-powered battleship of the same name, commissioned by the Human Inter-Star Council in 3028 and now, finally, after half a century of service, sent to Olympus Mons back in Sol System to be scrapyarded.
I was a junior Navy officer for some time, in a NATO-member Navy. One of the few things I learned quite thoroughly in that time was: "Never trust what an admiral says. Never. Ever. Find your own facts".
"may" employed about 100 times ( order of magnitude, I lost count ). "would" exactly 59 times, in 109 pages of text ( not counting the appendix and refs/bibliography part).
We all want to not believe but certainly imagine, hope, wish or dream that one of the main laws governing our universe is, finally, breached. I mean: we all know that the answer is "no". Heat pump, taking energy from the environment, thermodynamics laws still holding in the greater surrounding system, blah, blah, blah. But...well. How nice would it be. Just like this hardrocker making an ultra-fast slide on his guitar and yelling "Einstein was wrong". ( Was that AC/DC ? )
....are becoming ever more of a nuisance to the rest of the world, not to say a brake upon all developments once deemed good and progressive. Although the sun is going down over the US, they will be here for some more time. Untill then, we will have to live with a self-nominated policeman, who is more of a bully than a law-abiding cop. Alas.
... I was at the robotics lab of Polytechnical University, Milano. They already then battled with the same problem: patents lurking, and companies behind them. Patents are in the way of becoming an ever bigger obstacle to innovation. Which is sad.
That ( the tone and intention of your post ) is paternalizing at best. It is NOT. $ 1 per hour, in Morocco, is a hunger wage : http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Morocco
This is sheer exploitation of poverty. I was in Morocco, several times. The country is full of young people desperately looking for a job,
A space opera in four volumes. Look at my website - I have started to render the first book, "Hyperion", in anglo-saxon heroic verse ( the same as that of "Beowulf" ). Dan Simmons is definitely worth reading, and remarkable to the extent that, throughout the 4-volume space opera, his main characters evolve and develop.
The FA's title mentioned "the internet". The FA, however, is mostly on social networks. Which are a subset of the internet. Clearly, there is a hype around the whole issue. What does the Guardian do more, or do better, than hype-mongering ?
Microsoft, once more, is one the very large corporations that still think they can base their business, in the 21st century, on patents. I wonder how long it is ( yet ) going to taken before corporations of this size realize that such practice is old-fashioned ?
Samzenpus, I may be a nerd or a geek. I still would like to be taken serious, as an audience, and be able to read at least two different viewpoints upon the same news item. Lardering a contribution with exactly one source is, at the best, amateuristic.
Stupid and useless initiatives that are popular with a non-representatively small and extremist part of the population get a real chance of becoming laws, like the infamous minaret interdiction in Switzerland...

...seems appropriate as a term for how the US government takes its stance towards the rest of the world. Even although broke. How long, yet ?

The invention of Egypt is also credited to him. So is the discovery of ten-finger-typing and hot chocoloate.

There actually is a statue for an admiral here in Vienna: Tegetoff. He won some obscure battle on the Adriatic, back in the K & K times. *grin

Mod parent up into the sky. I am out of mod points at the moment, alas, for I sure would. Finally a voice of sanity.

That is my personal policy already. So is the policy of many corporations and government bodies over here, in central Europe.

WHAT THE F**K ??
Is this what America breeds: pseudo-Christian hypocrisy and bad, badly underpaid jobs for the already-poor ?
My disgust for both Facebook and the society that brought it forth have suddenly skyrocketed.

Yet most of us are fat. Anybody else see a contradiction?
Most US Americans are fat.
There, FTFY
True. The USA, then, are not a real democracy. They are a plutocracy cloaked as a democracy.
