I hope they develop better ways of locating the cancer in the body as well, otherwise it will be just like it is now. Dear Sir/Madam your tumor marker has shot up 10x, but we can't find where it's spread, so sorry.

Most interesting cancer treatment research to me:
- Dichloroacetic acid (it's as close to free as possible and has known side effects and is available some places now) but seems to work best in combination with chemo
- anti-CD47 (has the potential to treat numerous cancers, but it's early)

If Apple really wants to do something to differentiate the Mac from Wintel systems, how about they add in ARM chips to offload cycles from the Intel CPU and increase overall system performance. Basically the same thing they do with GPU, but in a different way.

Personally I like having as many boot OS options available as possible, switching to an ARM only system would be a mistake IMHO

Nonsense back at ya, you're referring to the pricing of systems from when few people had them to when many people had them (otherwise known as commoditizing) , I'm referring to the opposite process... As fewer and fewer people use desktop PCs, prices will start climbing again (but I have no idea how high that is).

The sad part is, as tablet, phablets and phones take over computing needs for 70-90% of the population, the developers, etc that need more capabilities will end up paying more and more as the market shrinks.

But Apple doesn't sell clothing, furniture, kitchen appliances, drugs, food, etc....

Amazon sells everything that Target, Walmart, Kmart, Sears, etc , to sell a device that undermines your business is stupid!! It's like Apple selling Kindle app or Google youTube app or Amazon Mobile app, etc! Oh wait, never mind

I remember there being a story about youtube sensors having the worst job in the world (in some peoples opinion), if Apple opened the floodgate they would have the same issue.

I think they should release Gatekeeper with iOS 6 (or as an update)!!

My understanding is an estimated 2 percent to 3 percent of U.S. children are allergic to eggs, causing issues with vaccines. Also children with known allergies can be given anti-allergy medications, such as antihistamines and corticosteroids, before vaccination to help ward off or lessen an allergic reaction. [plagiarism]
Vaccines for non-flu illnesses are 99% effective.

The only students at risk are those who do not get vaccinated, which means those children's parent chose to put them at risk.
Personally I think vaccines are a good thing and as soon as patches with micro-needles make them painless, there will be one less hurdle.

Mandatory vaccines are another step towards fascism, education and clear communication would get most people there (except Scientologists).

I'll bet ya $10,000, 80% of the people still look at the dials/knobs etc in the console before reaching for them to change a setting.

All the blind people buying iPhones must just be idiots because they can't use them at all. [dumb]
Accessibility is a question of design/feedback, not different shaped surfaces.

Retinal Eye Scans here we come, I'm feeling very Minority Report-ish....
(I'll never give my finger prints or DNA freely, but you can burn my eyeballs out)

That doesn't answer the question, if people think Apple use of the last 4 digits of a credit is a bad idea, what is the solution?

"Listen to the people who are talking about how to fix what's wrong,
not the ones who just work people into a snit over the problems.
Listen to the people who have ideas about how to fix things,
not the ones who just blame others."

I would argue Apple's security questions is no worse than most security questions from other vendors. Most info that is asked by companies to protect your data can be mined off the web via various methods.Unless you've lived in a hole and have no credit history,etc there is a trail and a clever person can find the answers.

That's why I make up my answers per account, there's no way to find the answers unless you have access to my physical system with encrypted docs.
But let's be real, normal people won't go this far or be this paranoid!!

The Virtual SIM is the future, why waste our time on this tiny step. The virtual SIM will have
1) phone company lock in option (I agree , booooo), but it will be required for adoption
1a) just like phones now, companies can remove that lock after a certain period or the phone can be sold unlocked from the beginning
2) the SIM will be loaded by dongle (USB or proprietary) that has adaptable SIM tray (that handles all 4 standards)
2a) it may seem like a waste, but will allow versatility and 8 out of 10 normal user won't use it (most will load it at the store and never change)
2b) this will allow for switching SIMs (international travel, pay as you go, etc)
2c) the dongle will come with the phone and/or be sold by it's own

The easiest way to grow your credit with little income is the shell game.

Get one credit card to make purchases, then second to make monthly payments on the first, and then a third to make payments on the second, and so on and so on....
