I don't know about you folks but I was not one year old when I was born. I was zero.

My first birthday was celebrated one year after I was born.

This is not that complicated.

You could just count it on your fingers, like this:

June 2007-June 2008 = 1 year
June 2008-June 2009 = 2 years
June 2009-June 2010 = 3 years
June 2010-June 2011 = 4 years
June 2011-June 2012 = 5 years
June 2012-June 2013 = 6 years
June 2013-June 2014 = 7 years
June 2014-June 2015 = 8 years
June 2015-June 2016 = 9 years
June 2016-June 2017 = 10 years

June 2017 would make 10 years.

@bdkennedy is correct.

At least that's how I count it.

Then again I am terrible with birthdays and anniversaries so I could be wrong.
Thank goodness for calendar reminders.

No. You've just said 2016 is the 10th year of the original announcement so why wait another year to mark it? Clearly 2016 is the 10th anniversary.

Come on. Seriously?

The number of days between June 29, 2007 and June, 29 2016 = 3,288 days

3,288/365= 9 years.

Uh, the iPhone launched in 2007. 10 years from 2007 is 2017.

No, that's 11 years. 2007-2016 "inclusive" is 10 years.

Good grief can we give the whole copying thing a rest already?

Everyone copies everyone. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants.

That being said, one thing I hope Apple will copy from Google is being able to log into any web browser from anywhere, go to the app store page, and install any app to any device I choose.

That is one of the things Google gets right. You search for an app on the Google Play Store website from any browser, you find it easily because their search works. You then click install, and by the time you have picked up the device you installed said app to, its already downloading and installing.

It's quite slick and seamless and I think that is well worth copying. I'd love to see Apple do that same exact thing.

Huh, that was weird. 

I had this page open in a tab, hit refresh and the picture changed from the Canadian House of Commons to the UK House of Commons.

And the comments pointing out the mistake have been deleted.

It feels a bit disingenuous to make corrections like that.

We all make mistakes, it's not a big deal to own it. In fact it shows bold honesty and generates trust with the readers.

It's preferable to me when a website says thank you to the poster who mentions the mistake, updates the article with an [Updated] or [U] and leaves the forum intact.
