  1. snapd, systemd, that's what I thought too.

    Incomplete technology? Charging via "contacts at the bottom" has been used for decades, son.

    "Wireless charging", i.e. charging mats equals wasted energy. Energy that's still being produced by oil and coal in a lot of countries, including the U.S.A.

    On the other hand, a standard "contacts at the bottom" specification is an excellent idea. I wouldn't call it "wireless" however, because of the whole "wireless charging mats" trend right now. What we need is to get all phone manufacturers on the idea, And Europe could probably push them enough to make it happen. It would need to be mandated on both phones and pads of varying thicknesses and width, but surely that's an idea that all companies could work with.

    I have an even better idea. It's called "Watch". Every hour it reminds you to stop and watch your wrist, stare at your watch. That way you can remember how much money you wasted on a watch.

    If Apple's version of "Breathe" is built-in, how does it brings revenues? You really think people will buy a USD$550 watch to remind them to breathe?

    Yeah, right. I'm going to prove you all wrong. I'm going to stop breathing right now.

    Hum okay, I have to admit it's a bit uncomfortable.

    Actually, this is getting quite painful.

    But they're getting introduced to the basic concepts of how computers work. Loops, if/else, variables, etc.

    They see the character on the screen being a total dumbass that only does exactly as its told, like a computer.

    The only thing they need to remember is that last part: "Computers are dumb, remember that when using a computer."

    It's not called "10" it's "iOS (version) 10".

    But yeah, I thought about this too. Mac OS X (which some people call "Mac OS TEN") vs "iOS TEN" could have been confusing. But I do agree on them renaming it to macOS to be in line with iOS, watchOS and tvOS.
