The SwiftKey keyboard is available now on iOS in a limited function through its note-taking app, SwiftKey Note, which was released in late January. Braidwood said it has been well received and had a million downloads in the first month.

Had this for ~6 months. Nice headset & sound is good but headset batteries wear out quickly. Intuitive base station.

Long-span PET mapping reveals characteristic patterns of #SVs in… cancer [v norm] genomes, but no MEIs or small events
http://genome.cshlp.org/content/early/2011/04/05/gr.113555.110.abstract
The described study used long paired-end-tags (PET) to analyze and compare SVs in cancer and normal genomes. It determined the prevalence of different types of SVs in normal and cancer sample. Overall, the results are interesting and convincing on a qualitative level; however, for the reasons outlined below, more precise and quantitative delineation of the observed effects is highly desirable.
1) Small sample size of normal genomes (only 2 normal genomes)
2) Validation rate was low (< 77%) for everything except deletions, and for singletons it was even lower. .
3) Long PET is not good for finding smaller events (few kbps). Thus, this analysis missed smaller scale SVs and cancer rearrangements.
4) While there is a discussion about breakpoints and associated repeats, it is not very informative as breakpoint locations were not determined to basepair resolution.
5) No MEI were considered — particularly, no cancer MEI were considered in the analysis, while recently it was found that somatic retrotransposition occurs in cancer (Lee et al., PMID: 22745252)..

Good discussion of lots of technical stuff, including regions of the brain, how nerves work, & artificial neural nets
