Sorry - there are reasons it isn't mentioned. The sync is awful, its interface isn't great, and there is no cloud support. I hope that now that they have been purchased by Elsevier (yes, really) they will have the manpower to implement over-the-web syncing, but until then its only usable on one Mac (or two if you can remember to quit it on your other machine...) Love the desktop version, can't believe we are stuck without syncing between Macs and iPads still.

Comment Re:How about repairing spinal injuries? (Score 1) 141

This technology was originally developed (2001) to do just that. The intention was to make a "bridge" between the white matter of the anterior portion of the spinal cord the grey matter below. Any communication between the two would eventually reroute the connections that were still available coming down from the brain to cells (motor neurons that go out to the limbs for example) that were still responsive below. The animal implants are in progress now, and they do show nice integration with the host spinal cord.

The solution of this problem is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
