Default Apple messing with your brain..

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...ed-Mac-PC.html


Data from 30 brain scans was feed into the computer using a package called FreeSurfer
Even version of Mac OS created different results

They found that not only did Windows and Mac OS installs of the software produce different results - but the version of Mac OS also had an impact

Popcorn is warming up.

I don't see the issue. Seems pretty obvious to me. A bit like saying I put a litre of petrol in my Porsche (Apple) and a Litre in my Skoda (PC) how come they didn't travel the same distance.

Sounds like FreeSurfer is a load of tosh and hasn't been tested properly.

What I find more intriguing is how search engines and various forms of auto complete and spell checking negatively affects a human's memory.

(over reliance on search engines for information makes us lazy and less inclined to remember anything )

Looks like the "Porsche" is actually a peddle car, and the "Skoda" is a VRS.

FFS, 'software has bug in it' is not news. If this product is supposed to be performing mathematical analysis of data fed into it, either it's performing that analysis correctly or it isn't.
