w is self-justifying. It makes a (quite spurious) claim to "objectivity" in such a way
as to exclude human experience and knowing from any possibility of delivering the "truth".
The objectivity is spurious because that choice of perspective is a subjective one. Perhaps more
importantly, it is quite simply out of touch with the scientific nature of reality. Remember, we
have used science itself both in our method and our reasoning, to establish that the "mind"
and the "matter" are not in any way separable.
Put another way, we have provided scientific evidence for the existence of
those things which people describe as "spirit", "essence" and "soul".

The most vulnerable group in the market is the whitebox system builders.
“Although the reduction in shipments was not a surprise, the magnitude of the contraction is both surprising and worrisome," said David Daoud, IDC research director, Personal Computing.
“The industry is going through a critical crossroads, and strategic choices will have to be made as to how to compete with the proliferation of alternative devices and remain relevant to the consumer. Vendors will have to revisit their organisational structures and go-to market strategies, as well as their supply chain, distribution, and product portfolios in the face of shrinking demand and looming consolidation.”

wn work included the concept of the "S-matrix" (a mathematical tool that helps us understand Standard Model particles). Beyond the physics community, Wheeler is probably best known for coining the terms "black hole" and "wormhole". But he also coined a slightly less familiar phrase - "it from bit" - and this is what concerns us here. The idea of "it from bit" IS a complex one, and Wheeler's own description of it is probably still the best. In 1990 he suggested that "every 'it' - every particle, every field of force, even the space-time continuum itself — derives its function, its meaning, its very existence entirely… from the apparatus-elicited answers to yes-or-no questions, binary choices, bits". The "it from bit" principle, he continued, "symbolises the idea that every item of the physical world has at bottom… an immaterial source and explanation: that which we call reality arises in the last analysis from the posing of yes-no questions and the registering of equipment-evoked responses; in short, that all things physical are information-theoretic in origin and that this is a participatory universe".
