Nudity != sex. Sex implies the sexual act. I'm not a religious expert, but I believe finding sculptures of cherubs having sex is going to be difficult.
Oh, it's much worse than that

Perhaps that is why the FBI's approach always seems orthogonal to reality.
Now with even less privacy!!!
They can already triangulate you anyway based off cell tower data, along with any number of phone-home apps that you joyfully agreed to the EULA.
Even I'm not seeing a privacy correlation between barometric pressure and YOU (adjusts tin-foil hat)
Now they can tell how high you are.
Presbyopia and Helvetica. A miserable combination.
Getting old is not for the weak.
I understand most of the other guys, but who is 'Inter Alia"?
No, it and of itself won't be meaningful. That's the crowdsource bit.
OK, for all of you that stare at the weatherperson and wonder what the funny lines are for: The column of air just above your head and extending to the top of the atmosphere has a mass that depends on a number of details. This fluctuates from minute to minute and, in fact, occurs in waves (those funny lines). Detailed information about the barometric pressure at any given location and time can be sent to a central station where that data is collected and displayed. The more (accurate) sensors that you have, the better detail and, presumably, the better quality of weather (not climate) forecasting.
Having lots of barometric pressure measurements attached to a device that can accurately determine location and time can be a useful source of data. For the National Weather Service, the National Security Agency and other fun TLAs. The utility for the weather service is obvious, for the NSA not so much but I believe it has to do with overall conductivity of aluminum foil, or something along those lines.
Quick, everybody leave your phone in the car for an hour. For science.
And then what? Drive up and down a mountain? Drive into a mine shaft?
You do understand the term 'barometer', do you not?
Battery life of a Casio calculator watch, screen size of a tablet, iOS on on side of the screen, android on the other, SD card, usb3, RJ-45, and hdmi ports.
In short, they listened to this crowd.
Bigger than a Nomad, wireless.
What's not to like?
You just described a cheaper version of the Pebble.
Can they be a little more specific as to what it is that's in the soda that is causing this?
Nope, it's only an observation. No causation at all. And, of course, without any useful info from TFA, one can't tell if this is just another crap study done by some medical student or something with a degree of actual thought behind it. Off to see if the 'American Journal of Public Health' is accessible.
Dust. Dirt. Mud. Polar Bears. Soul freezing temperatures. Polar Bears. Mud. Dust. Dirt. Rocks.
Polar Bears.
Apple stores are hardly the only place that Bose products are marketed. Just go through any airport in the US. Watch any NFL football game. Watch a football game in an airport for a really depressing experience.
And Apple hardly has a dominant position on high end marketing of marginally useful stuff. Look at any in-flight magazine.
I hate airports (and don't much like Bose either).
$9,500 ER bill.
Land of the free, my ass.
Not exactly free, but a $9500 ER bill is pretty cheap.
USA! USA! USA!
Depends on your current pharmaceutical load. Remember the 60's? (Or was it the 70's?)
But you know what they say about a phool and his money...
That he would be better off springing for a spell checker?
Variables don't; constants aren't.
