  • "Apple Car(d): The old cliche is that we were promised flying cars but ended up with x where x is something trivial or mundane. Perhaps the best 'x' is '140 characters'.

The irony is that x is often wildly popular and ubiquitous. x also generates a lot of profits and is likely to change behavior. Indeed, the flying car alternatives are almost always better ideas."
