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...

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!

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