"06. GPS"

Yes, of course that great 2008 breakthrough, it came right before the introduction of the Commodore 64 and the wheel

From the article, Android's "the first mobile OS to make its debut in years."

So the iPhone's using PalmOS?

No, the iPhone runs windows, because bill gates really wrote OS X and then gave it to apple.

I'd put the memristor at #1, and the app store at #2. I'm not sure any of the others belong on this list at all.
