This will be fantastic for medical applications. Looking at the fine details one could concieve rapid statistical analysis and validation for large medical number sets. It's actually very cool.
I recall a similar problem I had when transitioning from blackberry (both my iphone and blackberry are/were my work phone). Was hell trying to figure out how to deal with contacts etc still using bbm......
very interesting; arguing as devils advocate I wonder if it's because we're discovering more substances that effect neuro development or the other way round. Oh well, I guess we'll find out soon enough lets hope it isn't when half of us can't spell their own names.......
This would be revolutionary if applied to healthcare. It would mean that datasets could be recycled and meta analysed for rare tumors, rare cancers etc. It would also mean that drug companies will have to behave.
Problems which may lead to panic such as how confidential data would be is often addressed at institutional review boards which vet the ethics of any study prior to its initiation at most institutions on the western hemisphere and based on personal experience dealing with studies involving patient data rarely are hing like filing number or ID codes used, neither is complete genetic data (pragmatism and practically would make it a little difficult to make a study with complete genetic code for 500 patients prohibitively expensive)
Overall I hope this becomes a trend similar to that of open access which they have championed in the past.

and the best they could do was ethernet ..... goddammit I wish the autoindustry would at least try to keep up with the times.
