MacMost Now 421: iPhone, iPad-Only and Universal Apps Now that there are many different devices that run apps, it can be difficult to determine which ones work on the iPhone, the iPad or both. There are three basic types: iPhone apps, universal apps and iPad-only apps.
Hospitalized is receiving mental health treatment after suffering an 'emotional breakdown,' TMZ reported on Oct. TMZ said Selena was hospitalized twice in the last two weeks. The first hospitalization came in late September after she had an 'alarmingly low white blood cell count' in the wake of her 2017 kidney transplant, TMZ explained. She was released after a few days. Then, during the first week of October, she was again hospitalized after another low blood cell count.
During that hospital stay, TMZ reported, the pop star had 'a meltdown' and 'freaked out' and 'tried ripping the IVs out of her arm.' Several sources likened it to 'an emotional breakdown.' The singer is now in a psychiatric facility and is receiving dialectical behavior therapy, the report said. A source told People magazine that Selena has had a 'tough' few weeks.

Writes: In the week leading up to the big, Apple let it be known that (as have, and ). From Apple's press release: 'Apple today unveiled new resources designed to bring coding education through the Everyone Can Code program to even more students around the world. Starting today, customers can register for thousands of free Hour of Code sessions, available at all Apple Store locations around the world from December 1 through 14.
The company also introduced Swift Coding Club materials to help teach coding outside of the classroom with Swift, Apple’s easy-to-learn programming language used by professional developers to create world-class apps. And to help prepare and develop students for the workforce, the company unveiled new and App Development with Swift certification.' Within hours of the announcement, Apple CEO Tim Cook — who said he'd — joined First Daughter and Presidential Advisor Ivanka Trump in Wilder, Idaho to (Ivanka is, part of a public-private partnership with Big Tech). Apple also released an just in time for CS Education Week, which featuring Melinda Gates of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Microsoft President Brad Smith. Writes: George Herbert Walker Bush, whose lone term as the 41st president of the United States ushered in the final days of the Cold War and perpetuated a family political dynasty that influenced American politics at both the national and state levels for decades, has died. Bush was the last president to have served in the military during World War II. His experience in international diplomacy served him well as he dealt with the unraveling of the Soviet Union as an oppressive superpower, and later the rise of China as a commercial behemoth and potential partner.
Writes: America cannot afford to ignore China’s semiconductor ambitions. It cannot simply tame them, either. The trade conflict that matters most between America and China is a 21st-century fight over technology. It covers everything from artificial intelligence (AI) to network equipment. The fundamental battleground is in semiconductors. The chip industry is where America’s industrial leadership and China’s superpower ambitions clash most directly. Firms from America and its allies, such as South Korea and Taiwan, dominate the most advanced areas of the industry.
China, by contrast, remains reliant on the outside world for supplies of high-end chips. It spends more on semiconductor imports than it does on oil. China’s ambitions to create a cutting-edge industry worried Mr Trump’s predecessor. Barack Obama blocked Intel from selling some of its whizziest chips to China in 2015, and stymied the acquisition of a German chipmaker by a Chinese firm in 2016. America has legitimate concerns about the national-security implications of being dependent on Chinese chips and vulnerable to Chinese hacking. China’s pretensions to being a superpower will look hollow as long as America can throttle its firms at will. China is destined to try to catch up; America is determined to stay ahead.
Today America has the edge over China in designing and making high-end chips. It can undoubtedly slow its rival. But China’s progress will be hard to stop.
Just as Silicon Valley’s rise rested on the support of the American government, so China blends state and corporate resources in pursuit of its goals. The right approach for America, therefore, has three strands. The first is to work with its allies in Europe and Asia to keep pushing back against unfair Chinese practices (such as forced tech transfer and intellectual-property theft) at the World Trade Organisation, and to screen out inward Chinese investments when security justifies it. The second is to foster domestic innovation. More government funding is already going into chip research; greater openness to talent is needed.
And the third is to prepare for a world in which Chinese chips are more powerful and pervasive. Writes: We all know: The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. But the mitochondria is much more than a simple power plant. It’s also a unique source of DNA that can give us important clues to our species and our history. That’s because the DNA in your mitochondria comes only from your mother.
At least, that’s what we believed. But that in some cases, mitochondrial DNA can be inherited from fathers, too. A group of researchers found three unrelated families where individuals had mitochondrial DNA from both parents. A total of 17 people across these three families were affected, suggesting that mitochondria aren’t as exclusively maternal as scientists believed.
Writes: Researchers at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed an atomic clock that is so precise that our models of Earth’s gravity aren’t accurate enough to keep up with it. As detailed in a paper published this week in Nature, the atomic clock could pave the way for creating an unprecedented map of the way the Earth’s gravity distorts spacetime and even shed light on the development of the early universe. “The level of clock performance being reported is such that we don’t actually know how to account for it well enough to support the level of performance the clock achieves, ” Andrew Ludlow, a physicist at NIST and the project lead on the organization’s new atomic clock, told Motherboard. “Right now the state of the art techniques aren’t quite good enough so we’re limited by how well we understand gravity on different parts of the Earth.”. Writes: With the recent news that both General Motors Co. And Ford Motor Co.
Will soon be exiting the sedan market in the U.S., to focus on high margin trucks and SUVs, I got to wondering just how badly things have deteriorated for the U.S. Much of the analysis about Ford and GM’s exit from the sedan market stressed that sedan sales have lost ground in recent years “as consumers have gravitated toward pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles,” as the New York Times put it. If you look at the historical sales figures of the top Japanese sedans, you’ll see a small decline in recent years, but nothing like the big drop-off in sales that have hammered the American companies. So in addition to the overall decline in sedan sales, there is a second, largely overlooked, dynamic taking place: Americans have only stopped buying American sedans, not Japanese sedans. The American car companies now say they are going to count on profits from trucks and SUVs while moving toward autonomous and all-electric vehicles. They had better hope that transition takes place quickly.
The leading American SUV? It’s the Chevy Equinox. Last year, Chevrolet sold 290,000 of them — 100,000 fewer than the Toyota Camry.
Writes: is reporting that Microsoft has just won a $480 million military contact with the army that will see the company supply prototypes for augmented reality systems. These will be used on both combat missions and training, with the contract eventually leading to the military purchasing over 100,000 headsets for its augmented reality program — called the Integrated Visual Augmentation System.
IVAS, for short. As reported, this is about twice as many HoloLens headsets that Microsoft has moved until this spring.

With this contract, the US army instantly becomes one of the most important HoloLens customers for the Redmond based technology giant. The headsets, will increase lethality by enhancing the ability to detect, decide and engage before the enemy. On the other hand, a Microsoft spokesperson said that the AR hardware will enable troops to make better informed decisions.
“Augmented reality technology will provide troops with more and better information to make decisions. This new work extends our longstanding, trusted relationship with the Department of Defense to this new area.” Both the US army and the Israeli military have already used Microsoft HoloLens devices in training, but these plans for live combat are a significant step forward for the headsets. This deal also comes at a time when there has been a pushback against government contracts for these big technology firms. (79039). (email not shown publicly).
