Thanks for your work. Would you care to recommend a set of IEMs that give decent passive attenuation please? I'm thinking for power tool usage or motorcycling...

This funny hexagon can be only the result of one thing: global warming as a result of human CO2 production. Case closed.

Reasonable troll I guess (as I'm replying to it), but the song you're thinking of is actually called 'Proud Mary' written by a white guy for the (excellent) band Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Neither the summary nor the title give any indication how much power this clock dissipates. 10kW? 100kW? How does this compare to previous atomic clocks? How will it be powered? These are questions we need answers to!

It was available for 3 years in the late 70s. There was no 90's Fiesta in the USA.

Yes, the first version sold for three years from 1978 to 1980. It was never sold in the 90s, and only made a reappearance in 2010.

Apple Replaces Bing With Google as Search Engine For Siri and Spotlight (geekwire.com) 54

Posted by msmash on Monday September 25, 2017 @02:00PM from the time-for-a-change dept.

Apple is ditching Bing and will now use Google to power the default search engine for Siri, Search within iOS (iOS search bar), and Spotlight on Mac. From a report: TechCrunch reported Monday that Apple users will now see search results powered by Google, instead of Bing, when using those tools. For example, when an iPhone user asks Siri a question that needs a search engine result, the voice assistant will now pull from Google, not Bing. Apple will still use Bing for image search queries using Siri or Spotlight on Mac, TechCrunch reported. Apple said the move was done for consistency; its Safari browser uses Google as the default search engine. In a statement, the company told TechCrunch that "we have strong relationships with Google and Microsoft and remain committed to delivering the best user experience possible." Google is reportedly paying Apple $3 billion this year to remain as the default search engine on iPhones and iPads.
