> There may also be some interesting exploration of what's possible with a headphone-based wearable. Plenty of room in that particular fashion accessory...much more so than in a watch.
Let's look at this from a different angle... What if Apple already has a super cool headphone based wearable tech.
Maybe Apple RND came up with something like "Google Glass minus the visor" a while back. That something could well look like a chunky set of headphones, right?
Now let's take a look at the current wearables market... The high profile items are things like Glass, Pebble, Samsung Gear. And they're almost all painfully uncool (outside of Sillicon Valley, anyway).
If Apple were going to launch its chunky iHeadphones, it would know that it'd be up against the "dork factor." So it would make sense to spend some cash to negate that. If so, purchasing the coolest headphone manufacturer you can find, and tying their brand to your upcoming tech, makes a lot of sense.
Moore's law is that the density of discrete components (transistors, storage cells) increases. Cost and speed are knock-on effects. It just so happens that density does drive CPUs to be faster for the same production cost and storage to be either more capacious or physically smaller. But some aspects of computing performance don't benefit from density, like memory response time for example.
That's much less clear if someone isn't aware of how negative exponents are defined. That's why I chose this notation, and why I put into words "cut in half 12 times."

Yes, I've noticed that in other contexts. It's too bad because it makes the representation less clear, more complex than necessary. I first became aware of this when I tried to say that gravitational force declines as r^-2, to numerous protests.

Agreed. I'm a South African who likes to travel. The Schengen visa system is hands down the worst visa process I've ever had to deal with (USA included).
The thought of those clowns getting their hands on the internet is terrifying.
