I believe that was a given, but yeah, readable too.

Next to readable, it needs to be easily maintainable. One of the ways of doing so is by structuring things in, say, objects. Having those objects arranged and working according to a well-known pattern adds to the maintainability, readability and hence, affordability. It also means that most things are only defined in one place. No, seriously, ONE place. No redundancies, no repeating code - as that would mean that you'd have to maintain multiple instances of the same when updating it. That increases the chance of introducing bugs, which is bad.
Good code is SOLID and DRY 
..and commented, with a low cyclomatic complexity, conforming to FxCop rules, and come with unit-testing that has almost 100% coverage.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

ExtremeTech, March 18: " ... researchers from Nanyang Technical University in Singapore have developed a new technology they think is already capable of the ‘brain-like’ computing effects many have imagined for it.
The secret to their new device is something they call ‘photonic synapses’. They are exactly what they sound like: networks of light-bearing amorphous metal-sulphide microfibers that make synapses on to each other much like those found in actual brains. These unique microfibers aren’t something they just pulled out of thin air. The so-called ‘chalcogenoid’ alloys, alloys with elements like sulphur, selenium, or telluride, are prized in the fiber business for the unique optical properties they give to glasses made with them. The researchers here used gallium lanthanum oxysulphide (GLSO, syc) fibers which can be photodarkened by light itself." [^]

Probably they can define something near to brain. But the actual thing is the response, artificial intelligence and the intelligence itself are two different things. No matter how tough you build the program, there would be glitches in it.
But, let us give them a warm good luck for their product!

I would charge absolutely nothing, but I would cover my costs by pasting advertising materials over 95% of the window's surface and then spend the rest of my time trying to make it bafflingly complicated to find out how to close the curtains.

One year ago, on March 18, 2014, Java SE 8 was released, and with it, the bliss of functional programming through lambda expressions and the streams API. Oh, don't worry. There'll be another release along in 5 minutes. It might be on that one.
