235.000 views and 25.000 comments within a day.

That guy is funny as hell! I don't know if he's been smoking strong stuff or had one dr. Pepper too much but he has a sense of humor. I wish your rants were as funny (as they are many and long).

Since Microsoft already has Azure datacenters around the world, latency should be fairly evenly distributed for many folks (once the new Cloud hardware has been rolled out.) But it's not going to happen until high-speed broadband reaches critical mass, I guess. The end-user just rents compute-power. Want better graphics? Sure, we'll ramp up your subscription. Want better artificial enemies? No problem. Thin client, fat cloud.

Your outrage is well meant, evildictaitor, but doesn't have legal basis. You are of course right that this is bad for society, just as lack of small companies and monopoly is bad for capitalism. The real problem to fix, however, is political corruption though money-based lobbyism. Fix that and a lot of other issues will start to get resolved. It's a self-sustaining mechanism though.

Microsoft Research page
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/embassies/

Usenix presentation
https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi13/embassies-radically-refactoring-web

Web browsers ostensibly provide strong isolation for the client-side components of web applications. Unfortunately, this isolation is weak in practice; as browsers add increasingly rich APIs to please developers, these complex interfaces bloat the trusted computing base and erode cross-app isolation boundaries.

We reenvision the web interface based on the notion of a pico-datacenter, the client-side version of a shared server datacenter. Mutually untrusting vendors run their code on the user's computer in low-level native code containers that communicate with the outside world only via IP. Just as in the cloud datacenter, the simple semantics makes isolation tractable, yet native code gives vendors the freedom to run any software stack. Since the datacenter model is designed to be robust to malicious tenants, it is never dangerous for the user to click a link and invite a possibly-hostile party onto the client.
