    So what new features in the iPhone of the future will eliminate the following:

    1. Some idiot's phone going off with a Village People ringtone during an adagio played by a string quartet in concert
    2. Jabbering away while going 20 mph above posted speed limits
    3. Cutting off a face-to-face conversation in order to answer a call from a BFF wanting to talk about nothing

    Oh yes! That one in particular drives me absolutely crazy.

    This one is really easy to fix. Phone shuts off if speed rises above 3 m/s. It can revert to WiFi so you can still Skype if you are on a train or bus (if the train or bus company provides that service.)

    I can't figure out why nobody has mandated it.

    You itchy again?

    Try some cold cream, you will embarrass your daughter if she catches you scratching them.

    Time for England to get some Waffle Houses. Be sure to put plenty of butter on them grits.

    We will be prepared to discuss Golden Elixir contracts only if the trade deal is signed off. You may wish to occupy Wallonia for the duration.

    100,000 Nomad planets per star would not be that helpful for interstellar colonization.

    Could be another reason why alien life hasn't colonised the Galaxy, imagine what an interloping planet might do to destabilise other star systems planetary orbits?

    A nice Goldilocks zone planet with early life and next it is too hot or cold for liquid water, only one interloper every hundred million years or so could do a lot of life suppressing.

    Lets hope we don't get a visitor for at least a thousand years.

    Wouldn't you expect to see occultations from time to time? I've never heard of any.
