So far although I have seen people mention the already-existing Microsoft Mathematics, I havenâ(TM)t seen anyone mention the Microsoft Powertoy Calculator that has existed since Windows XP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

This is actually a good example. Open Science Framework is very useful.

I've used the Surface on my lap quite extensively, actually. In a car, on an airplane, on a train, etc. Works excellent. It's amazingly light and thin, fits extremely well into a backpack, and is quite powerful too. I don't have a single complaint.

Surface is the best laptop/tablet I've ever owned.

Clinical trials are going on right now, so hopefully they go well!

So far the treatments of tinnitus have been effective, but with a few caveats (as with all medical interventions).

Here is the original animal study regarding tinnitus: http://www.nature.com/nature/j...
And a review paper: http://www.sciencedirect.com/s...
Here is a clinical trial that happened: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com...
And another clinical case study: http://journals.lww.com/otolog...
And here is a clinical trial currently happening: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2...

To sum up the clinical trial that has already been published: researchers found that VNS did improve tinnitus, but only in patients that were not on drugs that affected neuromodulators such as acetylcholine and norepinephrine.

Not enough research? Vagus nerve stimulation has been around since '90s, and is already in use in the clinic for both depression and epilepsy. It is more recently being explored as an option for stroke and brain injury recovery.

A simple search of "vagus nerve stimulation" on Google Scholar returns 140,000 results. If you constrict it to only the year 2015, it returns over 2000 results. That's a lot of research.

There are also plenty of clinical trials happening, as you can see here:
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2...

The mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of vagus nerve stimulation are still being explored, but many researchers believe that timing is important. Precise timing is something difficult, if not impossible, to achieve using drugs - they take awhile to become active. Once active, they remain active for hours or days, and then they slowly decline.

VNS, as well as other methods of neural stimulation, can be applied very precisely in the time domain, allowing for a timed release of neuromodulators into the brain that can influence brain plasticity. Although not all VNS research includes timing as an important issue, a large body of the research focuses on this element of it.

Here's one paper: http://journals.lww.com/neuror...

It just surprises me that there wouldn't be a single free SSH app for iOS, especially when ssh is so heavily associated with Linux and open source.

Does any free option exist for the iPod Touch or iPhone?

Cloud computing is only a return to the computing world of old by having clients act as terminals and use services offered remotely by a mainframe computer. Cloud computing = computer terminals of old. Nothing new!
