Identifying individuals by the way their eyes detect photons could be a hugely accurate form of biometrics, guaranteed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Looks like security through looking?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Did "photon" become a euphemism for "Babe", while I wasn't looking?

It uses context awareness to make copying text on mobile less of a pain. Coming soon: screenless viewing? keyboardless typing? computerless computing?

Yeah, I was blanking on decent "whatever whatevering". Those were the only ones to pop into my festering noggin. I think @chris-maunder needs to use that API to finally put us out of his misery.

Aren't we already in the tabloid-reality post-truth era, where mindless mobile meandering masquerades as mentation ?

People in Britain are more scared of the artificial intelligence embedded in household devices and self-driving cars than in systems used for predictive policing or diagnosing diseases. Here are the right reasons

The XPrize Tricorder winner is half real medical device, half Dr. McCoy. How well does it work on Horta?

Yawn. Call me when they develop a device that can do a single thing - measure blood pressure - without touching the patient.
The Star Trek tricorder was not only non-invasive, it also did not require touching the patient. That, IMO, is (or should be) a major requirement.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

IT pros, take notice: Microsoft is adding yet another set of Windows 10 Cumulative Updates -- ones that don't include security fixes -- to its patching mix. They're critical updates to Microsoft's ongoing push for Windows 10
