More than diagnosing the disease based on the symptoms, if you had a networked system available in every hospital or to every doctor, I'd like to see what kind of information you'd get out of following up with post-treatment symptoms, autopsies when things went wrong, detecting patterns that wouldn't be evident on a per-doctor or per-hospital scale.
Of course I'd imagine you'd need to hash the input case numbers or something to keep the privacy of the individuals while being able to add information later.
Also I wonder how a system like this would scale to serve multiple hospitals.
Would it have to store information gathered during the rush hours and then search for new patterns later, sort of like what the suggested purpose of dreaming is?

Vault, what vault?
With the ability to distribute 1080p 7.1 surround perfect copies in a matter of hours to an arbitrary stranger, I believe the container you're referring to is one that belongs to a curious girl from Greece.

That may have been a problem in the age of the video cassette, but now with perfect digital duplication there would be... alternative distribution channels.
Hell, people might even feel morally justified to use those channels.
Err, I mean, more so than usual.

I'd have thought a Buddhist would strive to be unencumbered by such monuments to worldly wealth.
But then, I might not be well enough informed.

Well, they Wii U hasn't been released yet so a pre-sponse?

If a few prototypes get mysteriously destroyed with possible sightings of black spider-like silhouettes that scream inside your mind, just keep going, should be ironed by about the fifth iteration or so.

Animated GIFs man, that's the future of the web.
And wait till they finish the spec for the Blink tag, shit's gonna be off tha hook, yo.

I'd like to see an animated one to see Romney's dot migrate over time like they do in those TED talks by Hans Rosling.

I guess this wasn't the Droid they were looking for.

If it's a non-time-critical update/maintenance sort of thing then there's no reason one cardiologist couldn't contact another and get the access information beforehand or just have a very expensive, very hard to steal machine in the hospital that authenticates things for you.

If it's in the field, I doubt a paramedic would have the kind of training to be tweaking a pacemaker anyway.
I'm sure they could be carrying a smartphone-type device that tunnels from the pacemaker or other such medical device to a specialist back at a hospital.

This is terrible, a left paren may be yearning to be closed but a right paren, that requires a time machine.

Sorry, travel has been indefinitely postponed due to a copyright dispute.

Just wait for the Surface Pro.
It will have a stylus, it will have 1920x1080 resolution, it will have an Ivy Bridge Core i5 CPU, well, if the reports are correct.

I'm thinking of replacing my current Thinkpad with that when it comes it, to have something that I don't have to think twice if I feel like carrying it with me when I go out but that I can also run something like Photoshop on when I need to.

I really wasn't expecting the RT one to be any better than any other tablet, which is to say, a toy.

So did they find a potential 0-day exploit?
Can they get root access if they succeed?

More often as religion.
