@kelly22: I liked the car finding app as well but I think the zombies, run! app isn't a good fitness guide. The better apps out of them are those which generate some interest.

I really like the work focused system and how most of the apps have access to the same data but only show the ones you need. I hope this experience would be better once most of the android products start running on lolli...

The use of adaptive AI has to be controlled. Just look at the waves of controversies the drone delivery system is getting, do you really think the media will go easy on this one?

I am not in favor of Lunar land rights, those granted by the FAA or anyone else. They just give us another piece of real estate to potentially fight over. There's plenty of that here on earth.
