It ought to work with Handoff and let you open iOS Safari's current web page in Chrome. Currently you get a popup with the Chrome icon but it doesn't work because Chrome isn't 32-bit(!)

Well he did approvingly quote some nonsense that the reader would only work on a 'live finger' (presumably it is supposed to be able to detect the presence of a soul?). http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013&#x

The article is misleading - this is a technique for use on human cell lines, not on humans.

This shows how bogus it is - you can put lots of sugar in a basic drink and it would score well. The key point for me is why is concentration of sugar in mg/cl? Why not mg/l, or g/l, or oz/gallon? Each one would give a different answer, and

p>0.05 does not mean that a correlation has been disproven, just that the authors are unable to reject the null hypothesis (potentially due to lack of statistical power).

So it looks like with this method, if a journal publishes more papers, this will give it more of a chance to boost its h5-index? This probably accounts for the high level of arXiv, and PLoS One beating out PLoS Biol. One problem with impact

Exactly. It is a problem - I respect that Marco doesn't want to stich articles together, but I sometimes reach the end of an article to find myself unsure as to whether that really was the end, or just the end of page one. Would be useful t

The logic of the first part of the article seems a little foolish. If he'd had the operation, it might have already spread and would still have killed him anyway. But, therefore it might not - all this says is that the operation wouldn't ha
