One of the ways evolution might occur would be like the electronic waves that pass through out bodies constantly on the east coast of the United States. When I consider the fact that my family felt lucky to pick up one radio station during the daylight hours and the thousands of signals from all sorts of sources in the environment now, the human body has to make room for humans to accommodate the additional white noise by rearranging it's procreational gene structures. In my way of thinking, what the current body experiences in the ambient environment they make the changes in their eggs and sperm to prepare the next generation for what it experiences locally.
The problem I see for this how people are constantly moving now from place to place. Some with extremely different environments. Will the brain receptors produced by this confusion lead to some form of autism?
It's been a slow day. I'm not much in the mood for anything. I spent five hours looking for some hardware for the classical guitar I'm restoring. One row of the tuning gear devices was missing when I found the old guitar in my attic. It turns out that these devices are different for nylon string classical guitars, and regular acoustic guitars that have steel strings.
I first checked to see if the local music shop had them in stock. They only had the tuning pegs for the steel string type guitars. When I went online and searched for a set of new tuning machines (they actually are machines with gears and everything). It looks like to get a mediocre set of tuners is gonna cost me $50-60. They have some for $250 I'm definitely not going to buy.
This may take some time. I may be on the verge of buying one of the new iMacs that were announced today. I've been waiting to see what they come out with, and it looks like the only thing that's not there is the upgrade to USB3. The CPU chips I thought might work out alright are not coming out until November the articles I read said, but if I wait until then, I might decide to wait a little longer to see if they add USB3.
The reviews that will happen over the next week or so will help me make a decision. The first CPUs to come out will be some of the fastest dual core chips the last iMacs had for the cheapest prices this go around. That's pretty good, but it's not the way the future is headed as far as CPUs are concerned.
I've been reading quite a bit on the new chips. They change speeds and run only as many cores or threads as they need to, all the way up to four cores and eight threads. This will be supported by the Open CL system that uses any processing chip on the motherboard including GPUs if they're not busy.
A big question about memory has been answered. The new iMacs will have four memory slots and have a limit of twelve gigs of Dram. I'd like to see the DRAM limits lifted, because 64-bit systems can address over millions of gigabytes of memory, still for a home consumer like me having twelve gigs of DRAM is probably more than I'll ever use.
I want something that will run SSDs pretty fast. I'm still gonna convert to that. I'm only waiting to see how the Mac system will support SSDs as far as being able to erase and reuse free space. It won't be that big a deal for a long time, because the speed of the Snow Leopard Operating System on 64-bits will probably blow me away by comparison of what I'm used to.
