One of the things I remember about Isaac Asimov’s books (though I can’t remember which ones: the I, Robot series, I would guess) is that he talks about “personal atomics”. That is to say, portable nuclear power generators small (and safe!) enough to be worn as a bracelet or necklace. If you had such technology, you could feasibly walk around in Finland with a personal wearable tropical biome, and your wife could walk around the tropics under her own mini snowstorm. The only problem, of course, is that the technology hasn’t been invented yet. It occurs to me that this is something that Apple should do. It would also be good for people with Apple watches, since it would allow them to wear their watches to bed without running down the battery. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
