qr code is about easily passing data to your smart phone.
The most common application is give url to your phone. android 2.2 got a feature to push links from chrome to android phone.
with qrcode, you can do it from any browser to any smartphone.
One could write an plugin for that... one js including all what is needed. display a small icon on the page. when the user click on the icon, a large qrcode open, and the user can scan it and go on on its phone.
backbone is super nice, i wont be the one saying otherwise. It isn't the same scope tho. It does event emitter and much much more!
I like micro frameworks (aka tiny libraries) because it is standalone and so small you can easily maintain it yourself if needed. So it is less an actual dependancy.
This is a little tool i did this weekend for another project of mine. It may be usefull to quickly embed ace if your project without worrying about namespace collissions.
well jquery mobile is a lot more than jquery.

here is comments for a french startuper. You give several reasons:
tl;dr : regulation: true but not that much. mintel: irrelevant now as its past problem. langage: very true, crititcs: missed but quite big.
Long version:
- regulation: yep france got many uselessly complex regulations. This slow you down in creating and running a business.
- minitel: the impact of this weird custom computer was big during the 90's. Its delayed the arrival of internet in french households. But all that is now way passed. for example: france got an internet bandwidth which is fast and cheap.
- cant speak english: i believe this one to be very true and true significant. French are well known to be crappy with foreign langage. Even in the computer industry, many french people got trouble even reading english. This impacts the ability to get information by reducing the scope of what you perceive. not sure how to formulate this. but this is big :)
- critics: i think you missed one tho: french people do love to criticize. this is deep in them, as if it was in their blood. This impacts entrepreneurship, because starting a business is very risky, and taking a risk is to lay oneself open to criticism. many "i told you so" kindof remarks.
ps: yes france is very centralized in paris. even if some delocalisation happens because employees are cheaper outside of paris.
im surprised how honnest they are. sure they control what they say, but it is far from the usual "ie9 is better than all other browsers" diagrams they usual give us
