I have some rough ideas on what it would take. I wonder if we could do a collective work effort on something like it and share the output...Hmm, gears are spinning in this hollow head of mine.
A couple of part time programers or freelancers would not EVER be able to produce something even REMOTELY close to that of a multibillion dollar companies project.
That's bullshit. The thing most multi-billion dollar companies forget is how to be creative. Give me a few zealous programmers and freelancers and a few cases of beer and I guarantee some idea produced will beat the company.
