    Yeah, but many devices support both AirPlay and DLNA or whatever else. I bet we'll see devices that support both Google and Apple. Or someone will reverse-engineer the API, like th…

    They do exist ( http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/smartpen/ ) but I have no idea if they're any good. You have to use their pen and their paper… I like my Field Notes and Lamy.

    It has very little to do with intent. Subconsciously thinking someone with a name usually thought to indicate blackness—like Tyrone—is different is racist. Subconsciously disbeliev…

    Scientific papers are rarely perfect. Papers are often sent back for revision.
