That's great you posted this information. As someone who helps various other people with their computers, and a lot of them Macs, it's hard to stay on top of all nuances of trying to keep secure and private. Apple keeps doing thi

This is and has been already going on. How often do we try to do something at some office, and the answer is no - we ask why? " because the computer says so." We need to keep the human element, alive.

Great to hear! I remember skate boarding to my office downtown, 35? Years ago. Dressed in suit and tie, just waiting to be pulled over for "public" skateboarding. I went to work with various early morning bikers(bicycles), on the

I would up vote trying audiobooks. They are great for traveling, also cleaning up and other chores. Classic narrators make everything fun to listen to. There are voices for lulling you to sleep. Others to make the stories exciting. The Ha

From personal experience I think don't rush it and worry about it. Reading gets more fun - perhaps because it is more of an individual understanding - (you read alone and to yourself), after grade 4 even better - grade 5 and 6. I woul

Check different cables. I bought a cheap one, didn't work. I bought a Google one it worked. But it broke soon. I bought another different brand and it works great.

Yes, that. Call it enhanced learning? For instance, add Dan Carlin - Hardcore History podcasts for your history lectures. If everyone listened to those podcasts, then all you would need is a good teacher/professor to discuss what you l

What is maximum mast height? There are loops in Europe like this, but you need a mast that you can take down, which means you are limited in boat size - for sailboats anyway.

Is this going to sleep? Or hibernate? I found that most notebooks(under Windows) are horrible at "sleeping", but if you enable hibernate, then the notebook can last days, without losing charge. (Dell, HP, Asus, etc.)

Ahhh, but perhaps a good working VR system may finally be enough for said surgeon to use it for a complex operation. There are byproducts likely unknown to us, with each advance on technology. (Good or ill.)
