Something we are looking to change. The duplication is pretty annoying, but we use AssetGraph-Builder for our production build, which uses ngmin, which doesn't play nice with ui-router. Also, now that 1.3 errors globally when you forget annotations, using NgAnnotate is much more of a no-brainer.

We specifically looked at CanJS, Backbone and EmberJS. None of which have testability as a core feature. CanJS and Backbone barely mention how to do it, EmberJS has one tiny page on integration testing. Which practically means there isn't a established right way to do testing. And you as a developer need to figure it all out.

Ember are improving this however, with the ember-testing package: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/tree/master/packages/emb... Backbone has countless tutorials on how to test, but it's not built into the framework.

That is a really great point! I was really only appalled by the specific application of audio feedback used in the demo. And as such I blatantly discarded the whole idea of feedback systems. But when I think about it, that area is huge. I really want one of those sensor plates with an arduino interface!

What the hell is that part about kids and breakfast?! "Could be used to monitor and train kinds to use the right implements to eat breakfast". That is just messed up.

In all seriousness this is freaking awesome tech. Will definitely be huge, unless they fuck up the licensing or patent it to death.

Man, been wondering the same thing! However, I believe these sites employ some kind of like-hijack as you reach the page. I kind of clicked on one of them. Or not even that, I saw some friend liking this crap, it said the website in the post so I copy-pasted it in the address bar. Saw crap. Left. Safe-checked my profile. Nothing. But like 15 mins later I checked my profile again, bam, there it was. I had liked this friggin crap by directly visiting this site! Now I can't remember which one as I camped out on the newsfeed and marked all that crap as spam..
