The iWatch

Even though the earliest Apple's going to reveal anything about this will be September 9th, The Wall Street Journal reported on what the iWatch will actually have.

A big claim here is that the iWatch will feature NFC. At the very least, this will allow tap-to-pay functionality in stores so you won't have to wave around your credit card anymore. As well as potentially use it for like let's say, transit tickets, maybe it's your hotel room key, turn on the lights, I mean, there's a lot of opportunities here.

Also, because people like myself have chunky wrists, the iWatch will reportedly come in 2 sizes.



It'll also utilize a curved OLED screen so it naturally curves around the wrist.





Additionally, it'll include sensors to track and monitor health and fitness.



And it'd be interesting to see on the 9th how much of this is correct.

The rumors, in large part to Apple releases ever since Steve Jobs died, have been pretty on point.

The Ebola Eradication is Priced at $600 Million

Yesterday, the United Nations said six hundred million dollars and supplies will be needed to fight West Africa's Ebola outbreak.



It appears the pace of the outbreak has increased with now nineteen hundred (1,900) people dead—and just four hundred (400) of those were from last week.

And it seems a lot of the messaging over the past week is trying to get people to understand that this is not an African problem but a human problem.

And it appears countries have started to pitch in. Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg saying they'd be donating 800 to 1,000 doses of their test vaccine.



U.S. Department of Health and Human Services saying they have a contract worth up to $42.3 million that'd help accelerate testing of an experimental Ebola virus treatment.



We'll see if more countries pitch in, with this most recent outbreak affecting over 20,000 people in 10 countries.

And if help also is given, there is worry that it won't be fast enough.

Dr. Thomas Kenyon, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the outbreak was spiraling out of control, and warned that the window of opportunity for controlling it was closing.



It's a rather scary situation.
