Samsung just might have the holy grail of batteries on their hands. The company, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has figured out a way to make batteries last 'indefinitely'. I'd be happy with "a couple of hours"

I invented a smart phone which ran on water -- no batteries reqired, you just had to shake it once every day -- but the big companies suppressed the technology because they wanted to keep selling batteries. Oh well.

I can imagine a phone skipping on water, briefly, but "run"?

We already have that. Mine might last ten hours, it might last only six hours...

It's not talking about charge capacity, but rather about battery life. So, an indefinite number of charge/discharge cycles...

Once again we already have that, one phone battery lasts a year, the next 3.

That's 'indeterminately'. You've explicitly specified your batteries life as 6-10 hours but have failed to determine it more exactly in your failing snark.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It's talking about battery life, not charge capacity. So, an indefinite number of charge/discharge cycles. No more battery degradation. Well, eventually, everything degrades, given entropy and all.

Empowering a world in which everyone can build apps would not only address the traditional app backlog faced by many organizations, but would provide 75% of the underrepresented population with an opportunity to work in higher-paid jobs. And think of how many developers would be employed fixing all these?

That's what "they" want you to think, but actually it would decrease the average salary for developers.
So it's good that that goal is unachievable anyway.
I spend a lot more time and effort developing and maintaining SSIS packages (a form of code-less drag/drop development) than I would need to just doing the same work in code.
The difference is that a trained monkey can do SSIS for a lot less money.
I suspect a company would gladly hire four trained monkeys at a quarter the price each.

This has been predicted over and over again for the last 35 years. Every time it's a complete failure.

Microsoft today released its third technical preview of Windows Server 2016 and Systems Center 2016, bringing with them the first public preview of Windows Server Containers. This release features the culmination of work Microsoft had pledged to do alongside Docker to bring containers to both Azure and Windows Server.
This release also improves upon the Nano Server capabilities announced in April. Nano Server can now be installed on physical hosts or in virtual machines, and it can deployed servers and managed through PowerShell. Containers, containers, containers! It's all about the containers lately.

I bet it's just a cardboard box.

Maybe containers should have been on the list?
