I had a Gen 0 Apple Watch, and used it for my boarding pass onto a Delta flight. They weren't very common, and the gate agent called me "Batman".

That said, my mother is rapidly approaching her 80s and even with her smartphone I don't think she could be trusted to be able to check in. People like her are going to be fumbling around with their phone right at the gate, and it's going to be a nightmare. Best of luck to them actually making things better.

I kind of did that. I used to work a nice boring job at a University with excellent benefits (but without high pay or potential for promotion).

I took a pay cut to work for a statewide bank, and it turned out turned out that job #2 was almost as bad as job #1 as far as upwards mobility.

I left job #2 for a 50% pay raise at FedEx. High stress, long hours, great potential promotions, great pay. Laid off as part of the cut-back in 2009.

Here I am working for another University (different large one, but still in the same state). I've got the good benefits and low stress, but my experience outside of the University systems actually got me pretty decent pay when I came back. I still don't really have any promotion opportunities, but I'm in an end-of-career job (as a 35 year old).

That is A solution to the equation. To win the money, you need to prove conclusively that the conjecture is either true or false for ALL numbers that fall within the range.

If you're going to have the XBMC server (PlexApp, anyone) on your desktop, why bother with buying a whole PC for the TV? Just get a $50 Roku, connect it to PlexApp, and call it a day.

It makes perfect sense... Life originated in the Marianas Trench. Once one of the little fishies was strong enough to swim to the surface, he directed Titanic.

It's "boosting" by up to 10 times, which will equal up to 11.

From the article, around $1,000 each and only for high risk patients.

Still, they don't don't have to be worn every day... what kind of granularity do you want? You could wear it once a week and still be way ahead of the game.

Of course, that timeline depends on them discovering alien technology in 2019 and not destroying it until 2020.

This has been debunked.

Google pays a fee on every device they sell, cutting into their profit the same regardless of the quantity purchased.

Apple/Amazon have fixed costs for the stores, etc. Selling additional units lowers the per unit cost attributed to the store, etc... So greater quantity quickly increases the profit margin.

Apple can easily decompile the binaries. That's how they know if you're using private APIs.

I don't think the government knows what profit is.

"Leftover money? What's that????"

It's groundbreaking! Scientists have proved that people 5000 years ago had blood! Expect it to be in the newspaper headlines tomorrow morning...

Definitely... I was thinking about posting that link to a discussion I've been in on getting Siri to work in the corporate environment (firewall rules, etc.), but I didn't because the email address is associated with my dev account.
