For any app that can run as a web page, this model will work. For apps where latency and responsiveness are important factors, locally installed and run apps will continue to rule. Given how powerful and inexpensive microprocessors and GPUs

I don't believe Cook was referring to Macs when he said "PCs". He'd like to see iPad Pro cut into the Windows market. I don't think it'll happen without big improvements to iOS. Meanwhile, the Mac will continue

They really aren't cruise missiles because they're remotely piloted. Properly painted these would be hard to spot, and I bet they have a targeting mode where the engine switches off to minimize noise. I wonder how much they cost p

Anyone have any insight into the crazy wing arrangement? It seems it would add extra weight and drag for no benefit... The Switchblade seems to be a much more logical design: https://www.avinc.com/uas/adc/switchbla

"And in any event the numbers aren't particularly optimistic" The article is stating that the rate of growth (still positive) for Macs slowed somewhat. The same article states: "Apple nonetheless outperformed the overall

“The importance of studying sex differences in the brain is about making biology and medicine relevant to everyone, to both men and women,” said Catherine S. Woolley, senior author of the study. “It is not about things such as who is better

That way is likely painless, but very far from "fastest".

Well, "fastest" along with painless was specified. The prompt gamma rays from the nuclear blast would kill all tissue within a very small fraction of a second - much faster than the comparatively slow C4 shock wave. :-) In practic

The question did not specify practicality as a requirement. The request was for "fastest and most painless" only. :-)

Sit on top of a nuclear weapon, and detonate it. Nothing faster, period - and no time for pain impulses to travel along nerves either.

Whoops, re-reading this I realized it should be a 0.04 deg C change - I slipped a decimal. The point stands though.

"I would like to point out that last year was a global temperature record and this year will probably be a record too." Not according to the satellite data, which is far less manipulated and inherently more accurate than the NOAA

If things are as bad as claimed, then we'll have no choice but to geoengineer our way out of the problem. Orbiting sunshades to reduce insolation is one option. On the other hand, satellite data shows no meaningful warming for almost t

I'd go with the 15", which is similar to the model I'm typing this on. The 2.2 GHz quad-core i7 is plenty fast, and the extra cores will often provide a speedup. You'll also get a discrete GPU, which is worthwhile. The s

The last thing we need is even more information going to the ever more omniscient government. After seeing the seemingly endless NSA, IRS, and other government abuses, how could this possibly seem a good idea? In fact, preventing a cashles

Well...don't forget these projections are basically based on assumptions. At the moment (despite the revisionist science being promoted by NOAA) there's an almost 20 year hiatus which remains unexplained. Some highly informed scie

schoen kicked this off nicely, I'll add a couple points to amplify his. 1- Machine intelligence is a matter of engineering, not evolution. We've already solved important relevant problems, such as how to construct an arbitrarily l

I had never blocked ads, since sometimes they're actually interesting, until the recent spate of malware propagated by ad servers. AdBlockerPlus (Chrome extension) allows ads as long as there's no video, animation, or js shenaniga

I'm aware of Mono, but it's essentially a second-tier implementation. .Net on Windows, and the JVM on Windows/Linux/Mac enjoy support from large organizations with lots of resources. How promptly will Mono security holes

"and other languages will not be considered" That's too bad, as I'd recommend Java and/or the raft of excellent languages available on the JVM. With C# you're effectively locking yourselves into Windows, which
