AirBNB++ : Packages

Dumb that they don't offer this already.

One room, multiple packages.

Package 1 : Just the room and clean sheets and towels - barebones. You get the idea.

Package 2 : Room + breakfast + energy bars + bath robe, etc. You get the idea.

Why not, Mr. Chessknee?

Apple Watch : The Way Forward

Finally, I meet someone who actually bought the AW herself and loves it - just for the fitness tracking.

So, there probably is a future for Apple. At the very least, they've forced all the other big names to spend big bucks putting watches out there :)

Now, what can and should they do? First of all, decouple from iPhone - it's ridiculous - that you *have* to have an iPhone to be able to use it at all. Keep it iTunes compatible - so all you need is the bluetooth on your PC. If you have an iPad or Mac, no issues.

Then, make it a true computing platform - of course, the UI is tricky and won't be as powerful as you can get with the iPhone. But, detach the top part of the watch and clip it onto one of the lenses of your glasses and it becomes an HMD. Yes, the optics gets interesting. What's left of the watch + the strap + Siri becomes the input unit. How about that? What technology do we need to make this happen?
