Oh no, wait, the brain-phone thing.
Just as I shook the cobwebs out of my brain, my phone buzzed.
It's an interesting experiment to be sure, and it's not difficult to imagine a future where everyone wears bodysuits that power our brain-implanted phones.
I got to explore Thirlwell's brain (via phone, from Brooklyn) as his Australian/New-Yawk-twang accent told me about "the back door of classical music," why you should never use the "I" word around him, which NYC subways have the loudest brakes, his album cover designs, and why he feels he's already created the perfect score for the apocalypse.
Simple and low-coast measures, such as the use of text messages, hands-free kits and/or the loud-speaker mode of the phone could substantially reduce exposure to the brain from mobile phones.
Since only glial and meningial tissue close to the surface of the head is exposed to relatively high electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted from mobile phones, brain tumours, especially glioma and meningioma, have received particular attention, along with acoustic neurinoma and salivary gland tumours.
As for critiquing the work of others, Jobs's analytical style was forthright: "too gay" (rabbit icon on desktop); "a shithead who sucks" (colleague Jef Raskin); "fucking dickless assholes" (his suppliers); "a dick" (the head of Sony music); "brain-dead" (mobile phones not made by Apple).
Instead, it is emphasizing its advantage as the largest producer of chips for consumer electronics and a leading maker of high-capacity flash memory chips, which provide the brains for mobile phones and other premium gadgets.
Now Kozlowski is thinking of spinning off the chip division that makes the brains of wireless phones.
The idea is that trying to remember these small things really take up too much space in your brain, so having Phone Halo keep track of them for you frees up your "mental CPU" for more worthy pursuits.
