Until bricking ransomware hits the Android market, people who like to program and play with hacks will mostly stick with Android.
People who just want it to work and play well with their other devices in an organized way will likely use iPhone.
Physics can be huge data sets and FEA type programs, in which case you get the highest end laptop you can afford. Otherwise, pick a laptop known for reliability with quick service when something goes wrong.
Me, I would rather have a MacBook Pro which I can run Window, Mac, Linux, etc. Yup, Dell's workstation class laptops, the M2800 to M6800 systems, but they are MacBook Pro type prices.
Protected From iPhone Camera shots? Come on.
Steve Jobs had a habit of looking 10-20 years into the future for where Apple would move to in product use. Cable with 300 channels is doomed and SJ saw that. Why do I need a TV to view the one or two programs I want to see at night? Why do I need a "big screen" for news?
Young people are more interested in mobile and sharing clips, than most older people and that is evolution. Older retirees often look at TV as a companion or avocation in lieu of something/anything else to do.
I see cable and even fixed mega-size TVs as dinosaurs. You want a big screen, go to a movie house.
"Journalists" ought to learn more about what they write and posters ought to do the same. "Man makes working model of 5 speed transmission" would be a better title. But what was the point?
RP metal parts have layer build thickness and microdroplets forming the parts meaning they have surface finish and tolerance issues that will never be solved to make a high volume "production" part with required properties in any economical time span.
The finer the build layer, the better the surface finish, the longer the build, but there is still a limiting surface finish and tolerances that are not good enough for high load and wear situations. Then comes the issue of heat treat hardness, which current materials can't handle. Can't do that with materials used now as they don't do steel alloys yet.
RP is good for certain demo and non-toleranced or critical but complex parts that can justify the extra finishing in the limited materials available, but those are far and few between.
None of them in my opinion based on what I've read.
Our NSA had damn well be better than Putin's and LiKeqiang's or all of us in the US are going to be irretrievably harmed.
So, anyone who could hack Hillary's iPhone acount could, well read all her email. I assume she used a real strong password like 2VinceFoster4Me or something.
Tell me how supposedly one of the most important jobs in the country can be run by a person who's communications are separated from her official office?
When in WDC, she can't refer to incoming email from staff who are just around the corner or down the hall? Someone calls from London and says "look at the email I just sent." and Hillary has to say what? Maybe "I'll look at it tomorrow when I get home." What the hell is that for a high level functioning government cabinet position?
So she must have had official emails for HIllary being sent addressed to some lower person in the Secretary's office (probably clippy.)
This sounds to me like the perfect way to raise funds for a personal project from governments around the world, and eventually destroy the hard drive.
We are still trying to understand, model and measure the variables in Solar/Star processes. It is not surprising that variable star's energy producing systems have similar cycles to my way of thinking. You can imagine superimposing two sine waves of different frequencies that could yield a golden mean ratio.
Doesn't exist on so many levels it is now passé.
Electrolysis can destroy any metal. Stray currents coupled with soil humidity can result in corrosion. I'm not a "Time Capsule" designer, but I think the SS can ought to go in a very thick Polyethylene container that is spin welded closed and leak checked.
I can imagine the demands and the lack of discussion, as Hillary doesn't get into pedantic stuff like data security.
Sounds a lot better to me.
