They include: Apple’s Thunderbolt Display, which uses the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, LG’s UltraFine 5K, and LG’s UltraFine 4K.
Apple has cocooned their butterfly switches in a thin, silicone barrier.
This flexible enclosure is quite obviously an ingress-proofing measure to cover up the mechanism from the daily onslaught of microscopic dust. Not—to our eyes—a silencing measure. In fact, Apple has a patent for this exact tech designed to “prevent and/or alleviate contaminant ingress.”
Some restaurants, partly from irritation when patrons take pictures of the food, place limits on cellphones in their dining rooms. Others, including in Chicago and San Antonio, have banned them entirely.
Hearth is taking a softer approach — there are no rules, just the containers on each table. A note on top says, “Open me!” Inside is an invitation to stash your phone during the meal.
Both Marcus and Maria are into nutrition and eating healthy, but the driving force behind the app's creation is Marcus' Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that leads to intestinal damage when consuming gluten.
The couple wanted to develop an app that could aid people with dietary restrictions in finding out what kind of food they should or should not be eating based on their condition, and what kind of nutrients their bodies need based on their height, weight, diet and activity levels.
This morning I woke-up and looked at my iPhone, there was a message, it said: “Don’t forget you’re going to die.”
I have a new app, it’s called, WeCroak. It reminds me five times a day I’m going to die – just in case I’ve forgotten by teatime. In Bhutan they say that contemplating death five times daily brings happiness. This app reminds me so beautifully: “Don’t forget you’re going to die” – followed by a quote relating to death. Today’s first quote: “How fine the mesh of death. You can almost see through it.” This reminder of my death has replaced the first greeting of the day from my husband: “Morning, beautiful!” I like veracity in the morning; the app’s more credible than my husband’s declaration.
We’ve rounded up four of the best tools for reminding yourself to take a break at work so that you can, well, “live long and prosper.”
When machine learning algorithms solve problems in unexpected ways, programmers find them, okay yes, annoying sometimes, but often purely delightful.
So delightful, in fact, that in 2018 a group of researchers wrote a fascinating paper that collected dozens of anecdotes that “elicited surprise and wonder from the researchers studying them”. The paper is well worth reading, as are the original references, but here are several of my favorite examples.
Apple Piazza Liberty, named after its location in a historic plaza bordered by other premium retailers, boasts a noteworthy compliment of architectural features differentiating it from any previous Apple store. The design begins with an expansive, outdoor amphitheater that steps downward from the plaza toward fountains that create a stunning wall of water. The waterfall, symbolizing Milan’s connection to canals, also serves as the store’s entrance. Visitors will descend through the fountain to the subterranean store floor below, where 230 employees are expected to work.
