I haven’t heard anything that would convince me cryptocurrencies are viable.

Coin mining takes the energy of a small city, yet they can only handle seven (7) transactions per second. 

 Cold fusion and cryptocurrencies are have a lot in common. 

From what I understand of blockchains is that they store every previous state, so that the energy usage grows exponentially over time. At least that’s how an electronics engineer explained it to me. 

It is really difficult to appreciate how small 7 nanometers is without some comparison. A strand of spider silk is about 7 micrometers wide, a full order of magnitude (1000x) thicker. 
7 nm is also about 3 times smaller than the smallest virus. 
We take it for granted, but it really is quite amazing that we can manufacture something that small - and smaller!

Sitting center ice in a virtual arena watching a game 7 overtime playoff game would be pretty cool. 

My advice to these employees is, go learn a skilled trade. You can make all the money you’ll ever need and don’t even need to take out a school loan. Get out of retail, it’s a dead end, just like restaurants. Yeah, you might need to get dirty, work outside, in the cold or blazing heat, but in the end it’s an honest living, and skilled trades of all types are in desperate need of younger workers. 

iPhone 25 will have a big camera upgrade too. 

FTA:

”Since I can't have more than one audio app active on iPad, I can be listening to music and have a video ad in Safari stop playback. System audio sounds like notifications interrupt audio, too.”

it depends on the App. I can run Audiokit’s SynthOne, their FM synth, and the 909 drum machine concurrently, either playing loops or played live.
Maybe System audio is handled differently. I’m sure someone else here can shed more light on that. 

I read a couple of articles about AJAX. The first one said it is run on Google cloud and built with Google’s JAX frame work.

Open platforms are good for everybody.

Especially for people who write malware. 

Will the web eraser feature remove pop up videos, such as the ones that appear on this site?

My 2013 Mac Pro just got nervous. This looks like a great little general purpose machine.
