64-bit App Store requirement

[Ralph DiMola]

The CME of 2012 missed us by 5 days. This was estimated to be approximately
the same as the 1859 solar storm. Lifted from Wiki==> "Telegraph systems all
over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph
operators electric shocks. Telegraph pylons threw sparks. Some telegraph
systems continued to send and receive messages despite having been
disconnected from their power supplies." If we don't protect our power grid
and electronics with Faraday Cages we are in for a serious butt whipping.
The Russians still use vacuum tubes on military aircraft for CME/EMP
immunity. It's not a matter of if, but when.

You think that is crazy, I just watched a commercial where you can take a
stylus and hand write what you want, which is then converted to computer
text. I have a much simpler, economically and environmentally superior way
to accomplish this. It involves taking old wood scraps, smashing and
pulverizing them, then mixing them with water and bleach and flattening the
result out into great big sheets to dry. After that we can cut them up, and
put some really dark thick dye into little tubes with a tiny ball bearing at
the end, and then scrape the bearing over the slices of bleached wood pulp!

I agree there are some disadvantages, but it will be extremely cheap,
universally compatible, multi lingual, and extremely resistant to shock,
loss of power, storage failure and electromagnetic pulses.

The idea that the same UI will work well on a little 5" phone screen and a
42" monitor is crazy. If Apple does this I will seriously consider moving to
Linux. It used to be that Apple made stoves that you could just turn on and
cook with, but increasingly they are making stoves that choose your cooking
temperature and time for you and have hidden knobs the size of pushpins if
you want to do anything different. It will take a really bad move on their
part for me to go to a system where in order to cook dinner I have to
collect the firewood, build a grill, and amass a collection of thermometers,
but they look as if they might be getting there.
