It's a bit surprising since Apple Pay has, by far, one of the better UXs for a wallet application. Adding cards is really easy and paying with Touch ID is really simple and intuitive.

I imagined that once Apple finally came out with a mobile payments solution, Mainstream America would pounce on it, but it hasn't seemed to happen yet (or maybe ever).

I believe the whole goal around Robinhood is feeless purchase of stocks for beginners. Once you get past a certain threshold of dollars traded, Robinhood isn't the most effective solution. Other apps such as Edge, Fidelity, etc. give you more information as well as more purchasing options.

The continued Asian investment in messaging apps like Snapchat (Alibaba), Kik (Tencent), Hike (Softbank), and Viber (Rakuten) is really interesting and makes sense. Apps like WeChat and QQ are extremely popular in the Asian markets, and they want to also have a foothold in messaging services in Western markets.

Really big fan of the simplified permissions feature. It's something I've always wanted that Android never had. In addition to the supposed battery usage improvements, I'm looking forward to the new streamlined Android Pay features.

Really interesting that UBC uses Racket for the intro CS course, because UWaterloo does as well
