Bizarro world: Desktop apps limited to single window displays (#$$@Photos.app, iTunes, etc), web apps have unlimited tabs/windows often stateless. Not what we expected.

I think when you retire or sell a machine you want to log every user account out of iCloud separately. Otherwise machine remains as a ghost. Or users can go to iCloud.com and remove items from “My Devices”.

Thought I’d get Emily 6s from AT&T then pay unlock amount. But AMEX purchase protection/extended warranty only apply if I put full price on the card. So Apple sim-free instead. I’ll miss out on that weird AT&T only LTE band.

For board exams a few things need brutal memory work for old non-practicing doc: oral DM meds, anticoag meds, antidepr. Ramming these into decrepit stores is painful. Draw on page. Correct. Draw on page. Correct. Ugh. I want my memory chip implant now.

FDA, justly, talks about disasters averted. But metformin, king of type II DM meds, was approved in Canada in 1972 and US in 1995. Really FDA, this needs to be a case study.

2009 iMac (lemon!) GPU-death near. Considering no replacement. But then want maximal performance of external SSD attached to thunderbolt dock [tech.kateva.org]. In theory UASP is important, but in practice nobody seems to beat 370MB/sec. Does UASP really matter (yet)?
