That may explain the similar layout, honestly. But what strikes me the most about those pics is that the Asus internals look like a cheap toy version of the Air.

The proposed Resource-View-Presenter model is a bit of a brain bender.
Anyway, that aside, I agree -- this is described as a framework "initiative", and that page has no links to actual code, making it sound like a mere proposal.
However, looking back at Nodejitsu's blog, it looks like they have a post with a more cogent explanation... and github links:
Most of my work is Python/JavaScript/PHP, and in all three cases, the dev culture is mostly about short, succinct variable names.
So what is it about Java that makes developers tend toward these incredibly verbose variables? It makes it impossible to produce templates with reasonable line lengths sometimes, especially after adding on JSTL directives.
If you're interested, here's my client so far:
And it makes sense -- I think Flask is a much easier introduction to config and the VC of MVC development... but once you get to the M, well... SQLAlchemy is great, but the learning curve is steeper. And even though Flask has a well-documented extension for that, it's still another package and a separate piece of documentation.
Also, graphics are inherently bound to a fixed pixel size... so layouts often have to follow, if you don't want things getting out of whack at other pixel densities.
I've learned to mostly get the hang of it after repeated references to the official docs and the todo app. I think part of the difficulty is its lack of rigidity -- Backbone.js leaves quite a bit up to conventions, or the developer.
- pushState support for clean URLs
- beforechangepage event (for apps that generate HTML server-side)
- Support for iOS 5's true fixed toolbars & better transitionsThe name is amusing, but a bit silly --
"What are you guys using for all of your cool AJAXy stuff?"
"Batman."
All they say is "only modern browsers in mind" -- but I see no details about that.
If it holds together sans pretty effects that's fine.
That's surprising -- my impression has been that one tradeoff with Node.js vs. frameworks like Rails & Django is a lot more work to implement functionality they ship with out of the box -- it works at a much lower level.
It also tends to be slower going for a while as you get accustomed to the non-procedural approach.
Looks like he just co-opted the theme (Pocoo might have it available somewhere, but I couldn't find it). Nothing wrong with that, it's a great theme.
The only time I've been able to rack up more than 20~25 hours is when I work at the client's office (as I've been doing for the past couple of months).
