If you read TFA, it's an Intel-made chip with the ARM architecture.

As a big holder and long-time user of bitcoins, I'm in favor of the price not being pushed down. That said, TFS is inflammatory. TFA, which is open access, is actually an interesting read, and it's a clever attack. They also discuss possible mitigations. It's worth a read if you're into bitcoin.

Read the article. They have a way of forcing disconnection of a server from the Tor network. They concede it's quite noticeable and it may not work if no non-tor fallback is used.

There are some issues with wifi drivers on the various surface pro models, but if you turn off secure boot it should boot and install. The latest kernels have pretty good support.

Oh, and I need a tablet with an active stylus, so that's a big part of what drew me to the Surface line. I tried the Note 10.1 and the Note 10.1 2014 and wasn't happy. S-Note on those devices is a joke. OneNote is a really well-done serious note-taking application.

I am picky about keyboards, and the type cover is adequate for me while out and about. It's definitely the best tablet keyboard option I've tried, not that I've tried a ton. I do a lot of command-line stuff on it. The keyboard backlight is nice. It even senses when your hands are over it and turns the backlight on.

It's an ultrabook with no (default) keyboard. Despite being a long-time MS-hater, given my current needs the Surface Pro 2 is an excellent device. It's the only "tablet" I've ever succeeded in traveling with without regret. I've tried that with multiple Android tablets, and the one-window (or even two on Samsung) format + non-standard-keyed bluetooth keyboards always ended up causing problems.

It would require an external battery pack (very possible) and an asbestos pad between the glass and the wearer's head. It actually would probably shut down from overheating. It doesn't like running and charging at the same time, and I think recording that much video would overheat it anyway.

Imaging is done on hospital MRI scanners. Image processing is done on normal Linux workstations using COTS and OS software. Simulations are run on Penguin on Demand at the moment (Beowulf cluster... yes really).

Unfortunately it's not open source, but yes, you've got the right site. That's us. The services on that site are outdated, however.

The largest financial burden per-patient is the imaging. An MRI can cost over $2k. The rest of the cost is going to have to do with getting a software-based medical device approved, which requires substantial software re-engineering and clinical trials to satisfy the FDA.

1. The system is run offsite, it doesn't currently have any installation costs.
2. It depends on what you factor in. There are a lot of costs to cover engineering and so on. The patient needs an MRI if they weren't already going to have one. That's the biggest cost depending on the hosptial (~US$2k). It's not currently being sold and pricing will have to be determined.
3. We operate the backend, all the doctors have to do is upload the MRI. Minimal training is required to interpret the results. We're working on presenting the data to EPs in forms they are already familiar with.

The difference in procedure time will be substantial. Right now most of the time spent on a VT ablation is for mapping the rhythms and scar. We can pretty much eliminate that (trials ongoing), meaning the procedure can be cut from 4-12 hours down to 2-3 hours, reliably. Considering the cost of time in the EP lab, the savings can be quite large. When it comes to ICDs, risk stratification is really important. If we can avoid putting in unnecessary devices which cost (not counting implantation) $25k-$55k, that's a big savings.

This research is being done in cooperation with EPs at JHU and some other top insitutions. It's not being done in a vaccum. We have retrospective validation and prospective is ongoing.

However, here is a peer-reviewed paper using the same technology. http://www.heartrhythmjournal....
