WOW! You must be a true polymath. It's nice to meet someone who know's everything about everything and never has to rely on reviewers, specification sheets, manufacturers claims, marketing, sales staff, any 2nd or 3rd parties at all. You must know enough quantum physics and electrical engineering to read all integrated device schematics and understand how it all works, what every gate does individually and in combination, what the field and quantum tunneling effects are at that scale, so you can decide whether the integrated circuit does what you want it to do. Not to mention knowing everything there is to know about materials science, so you know that the materials making up the circuit are all suitable for the job. This means you can evaluate everything from the plastic in the dash of your car, to the quality of the metals making up the chassis, to being able to look at a jet trurbine's compressor blades and understand and judge whether the material can accomplish the task without having to refer to the engine manufacturer's documentation or rely on the aviation certificates. Oh, and the aerospace engineering you must have at your beck and call to be able to look at an aircraft you are about to board and evaluate the lift forces, drag, propulsion power levels, fuel capacity, all at a glance, to know whether the plane will be able to take you to your destination. And obviously you have no need of medical diagnosticians or pathologists, as you know all the chemistry and biology, and medical science to diagnose your own illnesses, so you don't need to rely on the opinions of doctors. Your knowlege must extend to carpentry, electrical work, architecture and civil engineering so you can evaluate every structure you need to enter, use or cross. Just at a glance you can tell whether a bridge meets the load bearing requirements without having to consult anyone or any documentation or certifications. It must be nice to be able to glance at a house and know it's in a flood zone, or the structure is up to earthquake standards, or that it's got wood rot or terminates without having to engage any specialists who's word you'd otherwise need to take. Same is true for the chainsaw, lawn-mower, boat you may buy, that you don't have to trust that any certification it has is genuine, as you know all the related sciences to inspect it and make your own decision. You are truely awesome to nevery have to take anyone's word for anything.

On the comment regarding Apple not taking ideas from outside the company, I disagree, because that is one of the main purposes of the Apple Appstore. Apple uses apps by third parties released on the appstore to mine for ideas. If an app becomes popular, Apple will either: Incorporate the functionality into iOS and ban that third party app from the store because it is (now!) just replicating existing functionality; or Release their own version on the store, undercutting the original developers app by Apple not having to add their own 30% cut on top of the apps price, thus being able to undercut the original app by the 30% appstore fee that Apple doens't have to pay.
