This is a far out suggestion. But the autumn a movie about Facebook's rise called The Social Network is coming out. Its supposed to talk about Zuckerbergs's naughty habits, if anyone cares.
Ironic, it was the internet browser which killed the original HyperCard. The browser was more general and portable than HyperCard. Required browser updates include:
(1) Use all the new GUI features on smartphones like location info, touch screens, etc.
(2) Make better use of small screen real estate. The default should drop window borders and menu borders, etc.
Its a step backwards from the generality of a browser to have to write a custom App for everything.
I see this as mainly a friendlier interface to the age-old practice of computer drills. Modern technology allows you do more than the multiple choice question of olden days. It can interact via natural language (currently primitively).
Professor cheating rate is low enough that it is big professional society news and sometimes US national news when it occurs. Read the recent book "Plastic Fantastic" for an extreme case of one situation at Bell Labs. Lack of result reproducibility did him in.
They've done computer matching studies of journal articles since most everything is online now. The xeno-plagiarism rate is always low at single-digit percentages and mainly obscure foreign journals. The auto-plagiarism rate is higher, mainly copying of boilerplate review sections and references from incremental paper to paper.
I've always wondered if the cheat rate is double-digit percentages for undergrads, why it falls so low for practicing professionals. I guess part of it is the constant peer-review. In our graduate seminars we watched each other like hawks. The occasional phonies who got through did not last long. Ditto for the work environment.
To me it sounds like more effort and danger than doing the homework or test yourself. I was always a top student and test-taker myself. So maybe its harder for others to do this.
Since a low energy muon usually decays into an electron and couple of neutrinos, it may not be a point particle like an electron. The calculation may not have accounted for this.
They hired tons of ivy graduates and PhDs for jobs that didnt necessarily require that level education. They dont give explicit IQ tests, but the silly job interviews are sort of like that.
There is a discipline called "medical anthropology" which studies the traditional medicine of various cultures and how it interacts with modern medicine. EVERY culture still more or less has its folk medicine: Examples include British interest in colonics (read about Kellog's push to eat grain in the morning), the French and their livers, Germans and their hearts, Indians and meditation, Chinese and acupuncture and so on. And scientists from each culture have conducted medical studies their favorite aspect of folk medicine. To me, most of these studies are inconclusive. Thatis, some benefits, little harm, and not the cure-all promoters were seeking.
Helium is up to several percent in natural gas. The cost of separation is still more than the cost of the dwindling Cold War stock pile. Once that gone, the markets will take over.
ESA must be rolling in money to repeat US experiments.
The US experiment repeats its experiment every few months. They detect the gravitation signatures due to mass change like melting/flowing glaciers.
Theres a competition to see who can review the most new books on Amazon. If you crunch the numbers they would have had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for the retail cost of these books plus every hour of the year reading the books and typing the reviews.
With both a hi-res camera and display, you show more of your face than perhaps you want. Every line, pimple and stray hair shows up, when I playing with FaceTime yesterday.
A minor aggravation is if you hold the phone normally you get a view of one's nostrils and chin. You have tilt your neck and/or lift the phone to get a good face view.
I think theres agood opportunity for a face-beautification app here. Maybe you could slightly de-focus the face like cameramen did for women in 1930s/1940s movies, to make them look better.
A PhD is expert not only on the topic s/he has researched and published, but the techniques of science in general, and meta-knowledge in a field. A masters graduate knows some of the advanced domain knowledge but not all the hoops-and-barrels in building it. Metaknowledge includes:
history of the field, i.e. things already done and who did them
big problems remaining in a field, i.e. too big to do in the near future
doable problems or chunks of problem in a field on several month to several year timescale
experimental procedures in a field, including computer work
important professional societies and journals in a field
formats of oral and written presentations in a field
Much of this meta-knowledge is not written down. Instead its learned by apprenticeships to experts, research groups and professors. And watching examples of what they do and imitate them. Generally, successfully publishing three times constitutes a PhD. Behind such there could be several failed projects, because they were wrong, or too small, or too big.

Its been a long time since I coded for it. But I recall you only got CPU cycles for the window in control. There were a few hacks to make small apps called accessories (e.g. a clock) multi-task and to do background print rasterizing. But for the most part the original Mac was single tasking I recall.
The classic case is radio telescope hiss which to turned out to be big bang remnant radiation discovered a half century ago. Scientists use systematic variances in GPS signals to measure the height of the ionosphere and mositure in the atmosphere. Thats a lot cheaper than sending up weather balloons.
He was a prof at my college and left early under some cloud too. I thought he was a fairly clever guy. But he may not be the kind of team player industry likes. Then he may be using age as the main excuse, when there was really something else.
I am probably the exception. We have a fair number of boomers coding here. We a vertical market software company in the energy industry. Domain-knowledge is very important. And many of the engineers were not originally in software. The main thing I observe that older people dont put in as much overtime as I think younger people do.
I have tried to structure my financial resources to prepare for early-retirement-downsizing about this age. In the energy industry 55 is the typical separation age. Earlier for software types. Unfortunately the economy has not cooperated as much I'd like. I'd like to go freelance and do something on smartphones when I separate from this company.
Tis probably more comprehensive than marker studies, but not really whole genomes. Who knows how important the so-called junk regions will be eventually?
I saw the mockumentary Rainbow Chasers at the Breckenridge Film Festival last weekend. This was about a bunch of low budget guys who cant seem to find a rainbow. (This was the prequel short for Kurzweil's The Singularity)

More a matter of when, not if, should a large government agency loses a massive amount of business records.
Their main protection is government systems are "self-encrypting", that is written mostly in pre-1980 OS-360 COBOL.

The bogus social scientist engage in more trivial and useless experiments.

Who needs spies anymore when you have google.
