... Marvel doesn't give a shit about doing faithful comic book movies as much as they care about making movies that people actually want to see.

I was homeschooled from fourth grade through twelfth. This is pretty much what I did, except I did it in week chunks. My mother would plan out the school year in advance then hand me my workload for a given week. I would then crank through as much as I could, often getting my work done on Wednesday, leaving Thursday and Friday for leisure time.
That schedule allowed me to start up my own computer repair business when I was 16. It was great - I could schedule clients during normal business hours when I might have been in school wasting time for the slower kids to catch up.

* Phone calls (read phone state and identity)
* System tools (Bluetooth administration, change network connectivity, change Wi-Fi state, modify global system settings, prevent phone from sleeping, automatically start at boot)
If that doesn't scream "We are going to take data about you and sell it", I don't know what does.

Correct. Instead they care about installing a keylogger to your hard drive and then accessing your credit card information.
If train A leaves Chicago traveling 100MPH and train B leaves New York traveling 150MPH and the distance between the two cites is 600 miles how far from New York will it be when the two trains meet?
And you thought word problems would never be useful!
I supposed we should just all consider ourselves fortunate it wasn't called FavreOffice.
I know! Think of all the personal data that could be intercepted if it was named FavreOffice!

That's all 802.11n devices. You know, those things that have been on the market for like 2 or 3 years? From TFA:
Broadcom would like to announce the initial release of a fully-open Linux driver for it's latest generation of 11n chipsets.
The goal of the contest is to develop new interactions on unique hardware that you cannot get anywhere else. We supply you with the special hardware and you show us how innovative you can be with it.
