Why am I getting downvotes for asking a perfectly reasonable question? It always happens here.

I can't re-edit my post. Here's a related patent[1] which they might own. The ethanol is apparently trapped by cyclodextrins, I was wrong. [1]: http://www.google.com/patents/US3795747

Under atmospheric pressure, ethanol melts at -114C. One way to "powderize" it is to make it into an ester, which in this case would be an ethyl ester[1,2]. Hydrolysis of the ester will occur under acidic conditions which would be

Maybe. But it could also benefit from Google's financial backing if it became as big as the author would like it to be. Then it wouldn't matter. (By that I mean that there would be efforts made to keep it lean. I don't think

I'm not quite sure what's your point. Of course the magic has to happen somwehere. I just don't want to bother with it. AngularJS is not so easy to understand, but it works pretty well, for me at least.

Maybe I was not clear. I'm not forcing you to write a book, nor saying you absolutely should . My point is that if people like you, who are definitely more knowledgable than most in this area ( most is very important here), communica

TodoMVC is more cryptic than finding your own way through JS libraries/frameworks. I never understood the point of that website. Maybe I'm missing something!
