A MacBook when he was 9 ? Damn, I'm 32 and still cannot really justify one. And I'm sure his parents had nothing to do with his funding arrangements, of course. I hate to talk about privilege, and this kid is clearly smart, but the smell of upper class is hardly bearable, sorry.
"unfortunately the kid is pretty good at marketing himself, and a 16 year old app developer makes a good story"

Opening the ipa file, and browsing the contents, there are a couple of plain text files - containing stop words, dictionaries and others on natural language processing. The summarised results from the app are very random - pick any article other than the test case in the video and you won't get any useful output, 3 random sentences usually.
Is there any legal and simple way of obtaining the ipa file without using iTunes (i.e. on Linux)?

He was given a macbook age 9. What's the point of your sarcastic jab "And I'm sure his parents had nothing to do with his funding arrangements, of course."? Of course they did, but why does it matter?

He's smart and you hate to talk about class but you can't bear hearing about his text summarization software because of the contents of his parent's bank account or because he has access to more stuff than you? What?

Are you a software developer? Are you underpaid?

And then you complain that he was given a MacBook?

Nitpick: being the son of a banker and a lawyer hardly qualifies you as "upper class", even if that was relevant.
Nitpick: being the son of an investment banker (not a retail banker; there is a big difference) and a lawyer (barrister in the UK) likely places this family in the top 1% of income earners in the UK. By most people's definitions, that qualifies their family as "upper class".
Any insight into the tech this is using?

Regarding the hype of this app -- this is a response from a friend who is a journalist and has covered this kid's app : "unfortunately the kid is pretty good at marketing himself, and a 16 year old app developer makes a good story"

tl;dr "His parents are rich and I'm incredibly jealous". He was given a macbook age 9. What's the point of your sarcastic jab "And I'm sure his parents had nothing to do with his funding arrangements, of course."? Of course they did, but why does it matter?
