Physical sciences R&D. Where are we on the curve? We'll know once it goes asymptotic...

    What is next? Toilet tracking? No, thanks! I know how to sleep. Not much to it, really. Have been doing it every day for the last 58 years. I find it sad that some people believe that they need (or even want) this...
    So, the whole point to this post is to criticise others. You have a right to your opinion. I've tracked my sleep for years and have found changes interesting.

    I loved the bathtub dive!  It made the video.
    Exceptional confidence - a great start to an interesting video.

  • Apple transition to own ARM chips in Macs rumored to start at WWDC

    Time to think different, leaving the bloatware you mentioned. Look at replacement software using Apple’s Core-“everything” api’s and you might be surprised at how much they offer at a fraction of the price. As for Office software, It probably doesn’t matter as much on low end hardware. As for incompatibility with existing macOS software, let’s see what’s introduced at WWDC before taking the easy way out and saying things won’t work. The times aren’t the same when Apple changed from PPC to x86.
    The thesis for my PhD in physics required principally four applications, Pages, Mathematica, a Pages compatible math editor and one I ported from Linux to run my experimental systems. I use them still and would need any system I purchase to support them. No doubt, my example is one of a countless number of similar examples. I'm looking forward to Apple being in control of the processors but I hope that developers are (will be) on board. As you wrote though, this is a great opportunity to think different.

    They sound very cool. However I'll wait. First gen of anything, even Apple products is where the bugs and shortcomings show up. 
    Still using my first generation iPad every day. The battery still exhibits excellent charge life.

  • NHS contact tracing team reportedly mulls switch to Apple-Google API

    Australia has had an app out for about a week now, maybe a little longer but apparently it doesn't pick up Bluetooth contacts reliably on the iPhone unless the app is currently running in the foreground. Authors claim it is not an issue on droid.

    Edit - Oh, just noticed this:
