_________________________________
Hendrik Lorentz, Leiden University, seated between Madame Curie and Einstein, chaired the conference.
A few months later he became seriously ill and died on the 4th of February 1928.
Among the 29 scientists who attended the conference were 17 that were or would become Nobel Prize winners, none more so than Marie Sklodowska Curie who at this time held two Nobel Prizes, one in physics (shared with her husband Pierre Curie and with Henri Becquerel) in 1903, and the other for chemistry (she was the sole winner) in 1911.
_________________________________
Marie Curie's love affair (after her husband Pierre Curie died in 1906) with Paul Langevin (seated next to Einstein in this picture), developed into a major scandal in France in 1911, and had some consequences for her Nobel Price in chemistry that year.
She had to write the Swedish Academy and point out that she was awarded the prize for her scientific work, and not for her private life before she was officially declared the winner of the Nobel Prize for chemistry that year.
Werner Heisenberg & Niels Bohr, and their Copenhagen meeting during WW.II (1941), are the basis for Michael Frayn's play Copenhagen, about scientists and their responsibilities.
The picture was taken from a documentary TV program about Madam Curie, screen dumped from the MacMini and merged with Canon Stitch.
I, Chic Bee, did some image processing in the Apple Photos editor.
Shot before I opened up this late 2012 Mac mini to replace the HDD with a SATA SSD. I also replaced the 2 x 2GB memory modules with 2 x 8GB modules. The upgrades did not make it as fast or powerful as my 2020 Mac mini (with m1 chip) but this old one not only continues to look like new but now also performs so much better than it has before. This could be my fastest ever 2012 Mac mini!
Shot with Nikon 50mm lens on a Nikon D200.
Colors/tones adjusted in Lightroom, then cropped and saved as JPG file in Photoshop.

This particular setup is not extremely long for this world. Meaning, it will be moving to my bedroom as soon as something I cannot afford manifests in this space.I am not including next month's Matte White Subwoofer that will happen.
Another view for our main workspace. This is were we spend most of our day. His and hers Macbooks for work-related stuff, blogging, rss-feeding and so on. A Humax LCD 32'' is connected via DVI to a Mac Mini Intel Core Duo and acts as our main and only "Media Center" experience. It is connected to two roomy external HDD that houses all our movies and TV Shows. With the help of Frontrow and the excellent Sofa Control, I can do most of the stuff from my Sofa without keyboards and mouses.
iMacG5が死んじゃって、年末年始は飲み過ぎ食べ過ぎでますますメタボになりました。
そして結局、買いました＞Macmini+モニター！！
iMacは液晶の写り込みやら品質のムラが心配だったのでやめました。
さんざん振り回されたのも原因かな・・・Mじゃないので(^_^)
(^_^)
それにしても、miniはちっこいっ！！
"Well, my little Macmini totally surprised
me and took off for Spring Break last week!
For those of you who thought I had been on
an exotic island in paradise....not so!" tee hee

"I'm not going to be a whine and complain
and bore you with how I'm desperately try-
ing to catch up either.....I'm just gonna say....it
happens!" LOL

"Seriously, I truly have missed all of you
and your wonderful pictures and hope
you are all doing well!"

probably anytime before we start writing down our christmas lists apple
is going to release it's new ipod, an all bets on the net are that is
going to have video support. There is not much inovation on that single
piece, and in a market where windows media mobile failed to get off,
where sony's PSP have a comfortable large screen for playing games and
watching videos and most important cell phones are already able to
stream any video to their screen apple is going to have to justify it's
next step. But there is still another bigger challenge on portable
video players: what are they for?
Videos, unlike music, requires your full attention and are
unapropriate for jogging, walking, working and may be even ilegal while
driving. An average everyday commute seldom lasts enough for your
average 40minutes sitcom episdode. And if you do have a commute longer
than that you probably won't want to show off that you are carrying a
400 dollars portable device, let alone rest it in your lap. Maybe you
could want it during a trip, unless it's an air one as most airplanes
have individual screens for low budget seats.This restricts drastically
the usable window for a video iPod but apple seems to insist on it.
They are smarter than me so, let's try to figure out why:
My bet, think about portable, not mobile. A mac mini is a portable
computer, but is far from being a mobile computer. It´s easy to carry
it around, but you are not carrying it all the time. If ipod tries to
be an all media in one, in your pocket, then I´m with microsoft in the
opinion that thei´ll be won over by cell phones. But I trust apple´s
inteligence on not going in that direction, but surprising us all.
The new iPod could be:
1-Your personal mtv
That´s where apple want us to look. Just a natural extension of your
music iPod, but instead of buying music you buy video clips at the
ITMS, and let the thingy playing over your deck. But video could go way
beyond that
2-Be your media center
Throw away your phillips DVD player. Have an iPod deck with video
output. Leave you iPod there, and it´s all the media you need. An iPod
as your home media center works as a concurrent of the huge and not so
sucessfull windows media center PC. Or maybe the Xbox, which microsoft
is selling as more than a video game but a whole media center (videos,
music, games) for the teenager. And if you want to go to a friend´s
movie party, why not take it all with you?
3-Be your remote control
It´s reasonable to believe the next iPod will come with bluetooth.
It´s logical to think your iPod dock (or your macmini connecetd to your
home theather) will also have. So why do not control all your movie
functions from the wonderful-easy-to-use-patent-pending iPod interface.
A quick look in the average home user and his one hudred buttons among
his 10 remote controls in his living room reveals to anyone how much we
need an upgrade in that system.
Maybe your next home theather may even come with bluetooth. Or your
movie party friend´s.
4-Never rent a movie again
Never go to a blockbuster again. You could buy whole movies from your
ITMS for a reasonable price and download directly from apple. The
difference between buying or renting a movie are not so big in the end,
you rarely get to see the same movie twice, downloading a movie from
apple would be like a long term renting: you got the right to watch
again the movie you picked up last week.
5-Be your TIVO
At the side of each podcast in the new iTunes you will se a column
entitled "price". Althought until now are podcasts are free, the fact
that this columns is there itches a lot of people. But althought
everyone agrees that it would be foolish and absurd to try to charge
for subscribing to a podcast when there are so many excelent ones free,
most of us wouldn´t be offended if they charge you to subscribe to a
sex and the city sitcom. What if the biggest TV series start being
podcasted? Then apple´s iTunes may be the next big television...
A little information about my setup:
1 8 core mac pro desktop (3 ghz) with 8 gigs of ram.
3 30" Apple LCDs, mounted on humanscale mounts - each is individually adjustable.
1 12" Wacom Cintiq tablet
Now for the other periphery in the shot :
Hooked up to it are:
1 2 ghz Mac Mini w/ 2 gigs of ram
The TV is mounted using a Chief PDR Dual-Arm mount - it extends 200 lbs up to 3 feet away from the wall
then I also have my 2.6 ghz 15" macbook pro (the new unibody ones) w/ 4 gigs of ram.
The desk my desktop is mounted on is a biomorph multi desk - I like it because the whole thing ratchets up / down and can be configured to exactly the height / configuration that you want. The little side desk I picked up from a local unfinished furniture mart and will be stained to match when I get around to that.
My chair is a custom Theropod chair from Allseating that I had made for me. I love it, it leans back farther than any chair I've ever had, and gives me full lower back support considering the way I like to slouch when I sit, and my back hasn't hurt since.
Soon to come: built-in shelving taking up the dead space next to the sides of the monitors / desk / etc, on both sides. the cubby my desk is in has about the same amount of space on either side. I will take more pictures once I get the shelving built and more of the room configured.
Behind me I have another desk with a couple computers on it, but that desk isn't fully set up yet, nor does it have nearly the array of stuff on it that the main desk does - more pics to come as the whole office gets configured the way I want it.

Also feel free to see some other shots of the office as its currently set up
"Young children think with their fingers. If they see something, they jab at it."
"iPad evaporated the abstract link between a child’s hand and the more abstract screen images, so no game controller or mouse is needed."
I read these article gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/30/is-the-ipad-a-kid... and tried to hand our kids the iPad. Yup, Warren Buckleitner was right. Our kids enjoyed the iPad within seconds. No hints, no instructions. iPad is the child's best friend :)
