Re: [FRIAM] Now for something completely different
Made me think of Parisi's work on applying Octonians to string theory: https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2014/10/mtheory_octonions_and_tricateg.html Seems like we won't have long to wait for an answer to the question posed.

[FRIAM] Now for something completely different: Mac iPad Mini Phone
There, that got your attention. [Doug sez: yawn!] I'm thinking about my next phone, the contract is reaching an end. Google/Android: Fail (Thanks Doug) Moz still interesting. But. Sooo.. It occurred to me to consider an iPad Mini. But they don't seem to get a lot of press. I did run across this: http://www.imore.com/using-ipad-mini-phone .. using it as a (wifi) phone .. although I think it can also have a cell sim, yes? So here's the question: do any of us have an iPad mini, or a similar small tablet. If so (ok, two questions), can you use it as a phone? Tell me more! Thanks, -- Owen PS: remember its an _ecology_ so like the above article, I'd have my ancient iPhone 4s as backup and international GSM/Sim phone.

I should-a known: http://bitwhich.com/2013/02/15/how-to-use-ipad-as-phone/ Why the hi res display? Do you mean the sub-pix retina display? Or more pixels?

Re: [FRIAM] Now for something completely different: Mac iPad Mini Phone
I like to put on +3 reading glasses and pretend I have the eyes of an 16 year old :-) On my iPhone 4S, with the higher pixel density, i can read a full page of an average tech book, in portrait mode with the reading glasses. But it would be considerably more comfortable to read on a slightly bigger device. I haven't actually seen the current mini, but the pixel density is considerably lower than on the full size iPad, and I'm sure I would be able to see pixelation with on the mini. As far as WiFi goes, I could use iPhone as a personal hotspot and get the mini without the cellular, but it would be less hassle with cellular built in.
