Not trivializing the article, or it's point. Interesting though is that the subject (hardware) reminded me of an app I wrote that lets me quickly model system availability on my phone. My astonishment at the time was that such a simple modeling tool isn't available in any app store (maybe today, couldn't find anything a year or so ago). There are sooo many tools, let alone basic productivity apps that just don't exist yet. And here we are, breathless and panting, moving onto the next big thing - hardware, biotech... Hey its all good stuff. Except for the part where I can't create a simple DB-like table on my phone and have that sync (securely!) with my other devices - without making me create a Dropbox account, or wanting to up-sell me in the app, or get all social on me. Basic, simple and honest apps. Like the Code Vault app I had on my Nokia Communicator in 2001.
