Yes, and you can still download the Agenda disks and play with it - it correlates the information as it is ingested, and displays it in various ways. The amazing thing is the relationships it points out in your data.
I cannot read a maths book or paper without writing on it.
Microsoft OneNote is cloud-based with syncing, has drawing tools, OCR for image content, handwritten comments, and even a Maths editor, and can organize your stuff. There might even be a symbolic calculator buried somewhere in it. I use it on a Surface Pro; to make the handwritten annotation part work well you really need the Wacom Stylus.
There are a bunch of PDF readers on the PC and Mac which can annotate. I think they all export the annotated PDF, and a couple of smart folders or Google Drive might be enough to maintain a synced system.
Unfortunately, this whole area is one where proprietary is ahead of open source - OneNote and InkSeine are masterworks.
A good way to get up to speed in research IMHO is to look at the problems in publications, and try to reproduce the indicated work. You can do this with fairly old (5-6 years) publications too, usually at that point data sets etc are available.
Apple obeys Chinese law by not allowing their citizens to bypass censorship , and it obeys US law by providing private information on the Chinese users to the US authorities:)
The NSA gets the info, then the CIA takes out selected individuals by lobbying, blackmail or if all fails... - after all cmpetitors are an imminent threat to the american way of life...
The US has argued that the private records of the rest of the world can be searched and divulged at will - why should americans suddenly expect to be treated differently?
If none of the tech-savvy phone corps objected to turning over bulk data, when the process gave them that opportunity, one can conclude that Americans are mostly happy to the surveillance, probably because it gives them an illusion of safety.
I have a tip for our sheepish friends: Appoint a dictator, totalitarian regimes are much better at policing than democracies.
If you like the law, or do not disagree with it, comply. If you don't like the law, use the democratic process and try and get it changed. If you don't trust your government, elect another. And if all else fails, emigrate to China or Russia:)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeOS "BeOS was optimized for digital media work and was written to take advantage of modern hardware facilities such as symmetric multiprocessing by utilizing modular I/O bandwidth, pervasive multithreading, preemptive multitasking and a 64-bit journaling file system known as BFS. The BeOS GUI was developed on the principles of clarity and a clean, uncluttered design.
The API was written in C++ for ease of programming. It has partial POSIX compatibility and access to a command-line interface through Bash, although internally it is not a Unix-derived operating system."
And now comes Act II where intercepted data can be shown in secret to a judge to obtain convictions without the defense being able to review same. Then in Act III trials will be held in secret chambers with no defense.
Yes, one could have a stateful encryption with a very long state built into a threaded mail reader.
The idea obviously is not to make decryption impossible, it's to slow down mass decryption, thereby making mass mail searches harder and restoring a measure of civil liberties.
They have to track every byte of every peer to peer transaction, in case someone is using modified clients to communicate. $ Also, they are ordered to retain every single phone sex conversation between non US persons, in case blackmail material is required some decades later for commercial or diplomatic purposes.
A "Brand" puts its corporate name behind every product - that's why branding works: The company's managers know that a mediocre product will impact brand perception and thus lessen their future sales of other products.
Look at it this way: Do you want a Mercedes Benz or a Mystery Car? The Mystery Car may be very nice but you need to test it. The Mercedes will probably perform. Now, do you prefer a Chromebook where Google says "This is our Flagship corporate laptop for Google Apps our execs use it, and we lose revenue if it doesn't perform", or a SlackwareBook which says "Entirely GPL, some hackers run this".
yes, there was the famous "bolo propulsion" example, of a satellite made of 2 masses joined by a cable progressively making its orbit more eccentric. This is well known, and as stated only works in curved spacetime.

You should look at Lotus Agenda.
Ideally you want a program like that to be able to ingest email and web clippings, these days.
For tetx-based notes, Lotus Agenda was the best ever made. Like many good things, it died.
"Real Programmers don't use GC" is a mantra that is responsible for 90% at least of production bugs, together with "=" being typed instead of "==".
Or do all programs run bugfree the day you write them?
