My friend Allen (co-founder of the delicious cashew cheese company Nary Dairy) got this Verus leather case ($22) for his iPhone 6 Plus, and I liked it so much I bought one for my 6 Plus.
Read the rest
As an iPhone 6 Plus owner, I'm interested in the Bunker Ring, a $16 device that attaches to the back of a phone or tablet, basically turning your phone into a giant finger ring.
...and that's exactly what I wanted, because I'm not a big caller. But maybe it's time to switch to Android, because they already have stuff just like it, and with some meatier hardware to boot.
The above graphic, published by OSXdaily, illustrates Apple's new selection of phone sizes--and also includes the iPad Mini, which lacks cellular calling but now seems part of a consistent spectrum. As one of those people who often finds the iPad Mini a little too big, but the current iPhone too small, I figure that the 6 Plus will be what I'm after. On the other hand, the Galaxy Note 4--slightly less wide than the 6 Plus, but significantly thicker--didn't quite sell itself to me, though that might be because Android is just not the language my thumbs speak.
Here's the specs for reference.
Tell me what to buy. (Yes, a Moto F3, I know.)
I don't like using apps like Foursquare that let acquaintances know where I am. Cloak is an anti-Foursquare, and I'm eager to try it.
Avoid Enemies, Bores, Jerks, and Exes with CloakCloak bills itself as the "antisocial network." Just sync it with Instagram and Foursquare so Cloak knows where your "friends" are, all the time.
Finally, let Cloak know which relatives/coworkers/"psycho hose beasts" you don't want to see. It'll then alert you when you're entering their vicinity. Or, if you're feeling reclusive, have it notify you when anybody you know is around. It's a fantastic way to dodge the dreaded "stop and chat."
The Wall Street Journal has a story about the birth of the iPhone (which I am still a little startled to realize is only seven years old ... I think my memory is merging iPhones and iPods into a sense of the presence of a single iThing). In an accompanying blog post, they shared this photo taken by Apple engineers, showing the system that was used to test out prototypes of iPhone software before its release. According to the blog post, the system "tethered a plastic touch-screen device – code-named "Wallaby" – to an outdated Mac to simulate the slower speeds of a phone hardware."
"At first, I thought it was my imagination. Around the time the iPhone 5S and 5C were released, in September, I noticed that my sad old iPhone 4 was becoming a lot more sluggish," writes Catherine Rampell in The New York Times. She noticed her batteries were being drained more quickly than before, too. She called some tech analysts who blamed it on iOS 7.
I have an iPhone 4s. The battery life is terrible. But it was bad before I upgraded to iOS 7. Is it worse now? Maybe -- I have a bunch of battery cases that I am constantly snapping on to my energy-gorging phone, so I'm not really sure.
Rampell goes on to explore the idea that Apple is intentionally obsoleting older iPhones by releasing operating systems designed to slow down earlier models and drain their batteries. But I think the battery life of iPhones, old and new, just suck. I'd prefer a thick phone that runs all day without needing a recharge, than a thin, lightweight phone that you have to put in a thick case to protect anyway.
Rhino Shield is a clear coating for Gorilla Glass (used in most smart phones) that was developed from a Kickstarter fundraising effort.
Rhino Shield is the product of Cambridge University spin-off company Evolutive Labs. It's made from an impact-dispersing "custom-formulated polymer" that is also highly transparent (it has a transmission rate of over 95 percent), scratch-resistant, and that features an oleophobic coating – that means it repels fingerprints and other oils.
One multi-layer sheet is 0.29 mm thick, and can reportedly be applied to a phone's screen without creating air bubbles or leaving sticky residue. The screen's touchscreen functionality remains intact.
Apple's iPhone 5S has a better camera, faster hardware and a gold-trimmed option. How does it stack up to last year's model, and strong offerings from Samsung and Nokia? Read the rest
Senator John McCain plays poker on his IPhone during a U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing where Secretary of State JohnKerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey testify concerning the use of force in Syria, on Capitol Hill in Washington DC, Tuesday, September 3, 2013.
When you activate the app, it begins recording everything around you on a 12-second buffer (extend it to five minutes for $1.99). Any time you want, click the "Push to save" button to save the current clip. Do nothing, and the self-destructing buffer lets the audio slip into the ether.
Why would anyone not in the NSA want an app like this? With Heard, you can capture anything from your baby's first words to a key point in a lecture without hovering your thumb over the record button all day.
Boing Boing alum John Brownlee writes about an atrociously ugly Super Mario Bros. clone that hits players up for $500 worth of in-app purchases on the first screen.
I bet you're itching to play it. Sadly, though, you can't. Apple's already yanked it from the App Store. You probably didn't want to play it anyway, though: it has to be the most shamelessly abusive examples of in-app purchases that mortal mind can comprehend.
The amazing thing here isn't that Apple banned it, it's that they didn't catch any of this to begin with! Especially considering the fact that the developer, Mario Casas, seems to reupload this exact same game to Apple — with the exact same in-app purchase scheme — every couple of months with a new name and new graphics, scamming players until he's caught. And thus the cycle starts anew.
This Crappy Game Is The Most Shameless Abuse Of In-App Purchases You'll Ever See
After you've purchased 4 or 5 of these iPhone cases, why not buy a Toot Toot case from Twig?
Amaze your friends and tantalize your neighbors with an incredible case for your iPhone that is over 7 feet tall and shoots multi-color sparks! You control it as it flies around your living room! See through your hand with its built-in X-ray eye, then take a secret picture like a real spy! Only you know its secret! Create a scene wherever you go as you leave everyone in stitches!
The Hand iPhone Case is totally impractical and not really a case. But it's absolutely fantastic! You can choose between an adult or child-sized hand. (via Gadget Lab)
Field Trip is a free iPhone app was developed in conjunction with our friends at Altas Obscura. I'm using it on an upcoming road trip from LA to Phoenix.
Field Trip, your guide to the cool, hidden, and unique things in the world around you is now on the iPhone! Field Trip runs in the background on your phone. When you get close to something interesting, it will notify you and if you have a headset or bluetooth connected, it can even read the info to you.
Field Trip can help you learn about everything from local history to the latest and best places to shop, eat, and have fun. You select the local feeds you like and the information pops up on your phone automatically, as you walk next to those places.
I find that typing on an Android device is faster and much less annoying than typing on my iPhone. It's not even close.
This example also points out some of the philosophical differences that often allow Android to create a better experience for the user. Why is the iOS keyboard so stripped-down? Why can't the user customize the experience? Because Apple's gun-shy about adding features at the cost of simplicity and clarity. They're not wrong; it's a perfectly valid philosophy, and usually an effective one.
But sometimes, an Apple product's feature lands at the wrong side of the line that divides "simple" from "stripped down." The iPhone keyboard is stripped-down.
If you don't like how Android's stock keyboard behaves, you can dig into Settings and change it. If you still don't like it, you can install a third-party alternative. And if you think it's fine as-is, then you won't be distracted by the options. The customization panel is inside Settings, and the alternatives are over in the Google Play store.
But I'll be honest: the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S III doesn't suddenly go bip-BONG! and stick a purple microphone in my face when I'm mentally focused on what I'm writing is reason enough for me to prefer the Android keyboard.
Seriously, Apple. This is the single iOS quirk that makes me hate my iPhone. Every time it happens, it yanks me out of my task, and as I scowl and dismiss the microphone, I wonder if you folks put a lot of thought into this feature. "Press and hold to activate speech-to-text" needs to be a user-settable option.
Also, I wanted to mention that Andy has a terrifically entertaining podcast called The Ihnatko Alamanac, where he covers comics, technology, and other stuff that he expounds upon in colorful ways.
I use my iPhone to shoot video because the quality is excellent and I like the many different inexpensive video apps available for the iPhone (such as stop motion apps). I also like being able to email iPhone videos or upload them to YouTube directly from my phone instead of having to first transfer them to a computer.
The main drawback with using the iPhone to shoot video is that you can't put it on a tripod — you have to hold it in your hand or precariously lean it against something. The best iPhone mounting solution I've found so far is the Glif, a tiny hard-rubber clip with a metal 1/4″-20 thread that attaches to any tripod mount. Simply slide the iPhone into the Glif's slot and you're ready to go. (The Glif was one of the first breakaway hits on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter, taking in almost $130,000 more than its $10,000 goal in late 2010.)
The Glif has one other function: it's a "kickstand" that lets you use your iPhone as a mini-display on your desktop or airplane fold down tray.
If you want to use the Glif when you're on the move, pay the extra $10 for the Glif Plus, which includes a separate plastic piece that locks your iPhone onto the Glif so there's no chance of it falling off. - Mark
The $19 TrackR is a like a leash between your wallet and your mobile phone. It's a Bluetooth-enabled wafer of plastic that fits in your wallet or pocket. You pair it with your phone, and whenever the TrackR and your phone get separated both your phone and the TrackR start beeping.
The app also takes a GPS snapshot of where your wallet was at the moment of separation in case you didn't hear the alert. Tap a button within the app to make your wallet "ring" in case your looking for it around the house or in the dark. The technology works both ways, which means your wallet can beep to alert you that you're leaving your phone behind. Works with your iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, new iPad, iPad mini and the new iPod Touch.
Yesterday, I met with Scott Hawthorne (left) and Chris Herbert (right) of Phone Halo, the 5-person company that designed the TrackR. They demoed the TrackR and I was impressed with how well it works. At $19, it seems like a good deal. They said the battery life is 1.5 years.
Scott and Chris kindly left a sample unit with me, which I plan to start using. I'll review it after I've had it for a week or two.
The TrackR will be available in the US and internationally as soon as the FCC and CE approve it (it uses low-power Bluetooth). You can pre-order one on Indiegogo for an estimated April delivery.
Instead of giving six men hammers, they hired five men to open the cardboard box containing the 127 fake iPhones and one man to drive an excavator over the phones.
(Thanks, Joly MacFie!)
Here is a video of My Great Ghost, whose remix of "Music in 12 Parts" is the first track on the record, performing an entirely new track using the app.
One of my favorite iOS games is Kingdom Rush, a medieval fantasy tower defense game. It's free to play on the Web. I talked about it on Jesse Thorn's Bullseye radio show here, and Jane and I reviewed it on Apps for Kids here. Here's what I said about the game in an earlier post:
The cartoonish art is very appealing, as are the monsters and towers. The goal of the game, like all tower defense games, is to prevent the invading hordes from making it through a gate to your kingdom at one end of the display. You do this by placing towers staffed with archers, knights, magicians, and cannoneers along the path that the monsters run down (the monsters appear from a trail emanating on the opposite side of the display). As you kill the monsters, you collect gold, which can be used to buy more towers. Even though there are a few more bells and whistles, it's a simple game -- but addictive.
For today only, the iPhone version is free (regularly $.99). There's an HD version, too, but that will set you back $2.99
The MirrorCase for the iPhone lets you take photos while holding the phone flat, like an old-timey camera. It seems like a good way to shoot video of yourself, too - just set it on a table and do your thing. At $50, it's a bit pricey. I wonder if there's a DIY version? (I think this is the gizmo used to secretly tape Mitt Romney declaring that 47% of Americans suck.)
Twig Case company has a few new Jim Woodring designs for the iPhone 5 (plus the 4/4s). I'm partial to this Pupshaw/Frank/Manhog illo!
Check out all the designs (including this one by yours truly) at Twig.
The puzzle game Chocolate Fix has been a family favorite around our house for years. The puzzle consists of 9 plastic chocolate candies (in three colors and shapes), a tray that holds the candies in a 3 x 3 grid, and a spiral-bound book with various challenges to solve. The challenges offer clues on how to arrange the candies in the tray. The hints sometimes show just the shape but not the color, the color but not the shape, or the shape and the color of a candy that belongs to a particular spot, column, or row in the grid. It's your job to figure out the single solution to correctly arrange the candies.

Now, this thing doesn't come close to the output of powered speakers. Duh. But it does increase the volume quite a bit and layers the sound with a subtly echoey and organic vibe. But that isn't really the point. It's a wonderful curiosity at the intersection of nature, art, and technology. And it's beautiful to boot. Vomhof and Zinsmaster have launched a Kickstarter to bring their prototype design into full production. Pledge $60 and, if they hit their goal of $10,000, you'll receive your own Shellphone Loudspeaker early next year.
It wasn't even clear from the spam where you might buy one.
Just in case you were wondering.

Lacoste Gets 10 Million Facebook Likes
The Most Likeable Fashion Brands on Facebook
Congratulations are in order for Lacoste, which just became one of a handful of fashion brands whose Facebook profiles have received over 10 million "likes." But what about the other brands in this pantheon of likability, and where do other labels that are beloved in the real world rank in the digital standings?
Converse currently leads the pack of clothing and apparel brands on Facebook with a whopping 32.4 million likes. Adidas is second with 15.2 million, and Zara makes for a close third at just over 14 million. Then comes Burberry with 13 million. Levi's, H&M, and Lacoste all follow in close succession.
While some of the world's biggest luxury brands sit comfortably above the 5 million "like" mark, others fall beneath it. For its part, Lacoste is reported to have taken a more active role in managing its Facebook page in September 2010, when its "likes" numbered 1.6 million.

McKenna is accused of making (downloading) six indecent photos of children rated at Category A - the most serious level - 22 at Category B and 163 at Category C, the least serious category. He is alleged to have possessed 191 indecent photographs of children in total between January 9 and September 18 last year.

Slow drivers on the expressway
Thursday, November 21, 2013 - 10:51am
BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS (KVEO NEWSCENTER 23) — Today's driver's aggravation has to do with whether or not it's ever legal to drive 35 miles per hour when the speed limit is actually, 70.
If the weather conditions and the traffic conditions do not permit you to be at the speed limit, then yes, you can go that slowly. But again, traffic and weather. But just to drive that slowly under favorable weather conditions, unacceptable.

It was a transcultural nursing course that focused on things that will be on the NCLEX to prepare us. It also opened our eyes to what we may see in the health care field. -
It would come with a CD to show the many encounters we take for granted and to deal with multiple issues in various cultures.

Posted Jul 13 2012 4:12PM - Updated Jul 13 2012 8:25PM
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The Indiana Pacers have re-signed free agents Roy Hibbert and George Hill, two key members of their rebuilding project.
Indiana Pacers' incoming president Donnie Walsh had said he didn't want to disrupt the nucleus of a team that went 42-24 and reached the second round of the playoffs last season. On Friday, he announced that the Pacers have re-signed free agents Roy Hibbert and George Hill.
"Before the free agent period started, I met with the press and basically said the biggest priority we have is to keep our own guys, and we are here today to announce that George and Roy signed contracts to be with the Pacers for quite a while," Walsh said to a cheering crowd at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Hibbert, a fourth-year pro, is coming off an All-Star season, averaging 12.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game and giving the Pacers a dominant presence at center. He says he's happy to be back because the Pacers have "unfinished business" after losing to eventual champion Miami in the playoffs.
"I was pretty surprised I made the All-Star team," he said. "If it happens again, that's great, but I'm more focused on winning, rebounding, blocking shots and being a defensive presence."
Hill was drafted by San Antonio with the 24th overall pick in 2008 and spent his first three seasons with the Spurs. The guard joined Indiana in June 2011, and has career averages of 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
The Pacers also said they have signed free agent guard D.J. Augustin, who averaged 10.9 points and 4.4 assists during four years in Charlotte.
The Pacers also have added Ian Mahinmi, point guard D.J. Augustin and forward Gerald Green. This comes after the team added center Miles Plumlee and guard Orlando Johnson on draft night.
Mahinmi came in a deal that sent point guard Darren Collison and wing player Dahntay Jones to Dallas. Green and Augustin were free agents.
Re-signing Hibbert and Hill gives the Pacers the stability they sought. Adding Green, Johnson and Augustin gives the Pacers more players who can attack the basket and score off the bench. Plumlee and Mahinmi give the Pacers athletic posts who can step in if Hibbert gets into foul trouble.
Hibbert has grown tremendously as a player since the Pacers picked him up on draft night in 2008. He was in and out of the starting lineup under coach Jim O'Brien, but once Frank Vogel replaced O'Brien, he flourished.
"People told me maybe I could be a good backup or maybe have a long career, but this organization believed in me, and it's the only place I want to be right now," he said.
Hibbert's importance to the Pacers goes well beyond the court. He's active in the community and has become arguably the most popular Pacers player. His Area 55 section of Bankers Life Fieldhouse is the rowdiest in the building.
The Pacers matched an offer by the Portland Trail Blazers to keep Hibbert.
"Portland was on my list of teams that, if Indiana didn't match, it would have been a pretty good opportunity to go out there and play," Hibbert said. "It was pretty serious."
Hill joined the Pacers after a draft-day deal in 2011 that sent Indiana draft pick Kawhi Leonard to San Antonio, and he averaged 9.6 points and 2.9 assists per game last season. The Indianapolis native began the season as a productive player off the bench, then became the starter after Darren Collison was hurt and kept the job through the Pacers' playoff run.
"I'm just happy to be back, to be a part of this Pacer team," he said. "I can't wait to get back with my teammates and get things rolling."
Hill has high hopes for the Pacers going forward. Last year's team had significant additions in Hill and free agent forward David West, and it came together quickly with a training camp that was shortened because of the lockout.
"This team can be scary good," he said. "We've done good with the progress we've made here, but it wasn't our goal. To do what we did in a short amount of time - I think we shocked everyone. To get it back and still have most everyone coming back and adding some great pieces, I think we can do a lot more, especially with a lot more time underneath our belts."

As most of the NBA world knows, the Memphis Grizzlies have been a popular team on the NBA rumor mill. With new ownership in place and a looming luxury-tax bill coming, the Grizzlies have seen Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph end up on the trade market due to their high salaries. It's a sensitive situation because Memphis is also one of the best teams in the West.
Therefore, an anecdote from a story in Memphis Commercial Appeal by beat writer Ronald Tillery was eye-popping. According to Tillery, new owner Robert Pera had dinner with Mike Conley and Marc Gasol, two franchise cornerstones that have not been on the block. However, he did not invite Gay and Randolph, the two Grizzlies that are rumored to be shopped.
Gay and Randolph were not thrilled. Here's what they said, via SB Nation's Grizzlies blog Straight Outta Vancouver.
The response from Gay was more measured, saying, "It is what it is," before adding, "I just hope it wasn't my favorite restaurant!" Well-played, sir.
Randolph, on the other hand noted it didn't feel like anything personal, but then went on to say that he told the younger players, "It's not like they love you... It's business."
Why are we quoting Straight Outta Vancouver? Because if you click the link to Tillery's story now, those quotes have mysteriously disappeared. Here's what's in their place now:
Before the team concluded a three-game trip last week at Golden State, Griz owner Robert Pera had dinner with Mike Conley and Marc Gasol.
"We had a great time. We really enjoyed spending time with those guys," [Grizzlies CEO Jason] Levien said.
"We look forward to having that kind of dialogue with other players as well in the future."
Levien was not quoted in the first version of the story. Via Straight Outta Vancouver, Tillery's piece notes that Levien has "declined requests from the Commercial Appeal to talk publicly about his plans for the team."
But wait. This gets weirder. First, Commercial Appeal columnist Geoff Calkins wrote an entire piece based off the quotes from Gay and Randolph that were removed from Tillery's story. Here's the beginning of Calkins' column:
When the Grizzlies were on the West Coast last week, Robert Pera had dinner with just Marc Gasol and Mike Conley?
This makes me question Pera's judgment. How could he not invite Tony Allen along? That guy is hilarious.
"I just hope it wasn't at my favorite restaurant," said Rudy Gay, who already had trade rumors to fret about.
Then, Tillery himself wrote a blog post at 9:19 EST on the Commercial Appeal's website with the deleted quotes from the initial story.
So ... what's going on here? It seems pretty obvious that Pera didn't invite Gay and Randolph to that dinner, because Gay and Randolph confirmed that news. Why didn't the Commercial Appeal leave that anecdote in the original story? Some possible explanations:
- They changed the original story to get it to fit in the print edition, then switched the original online story for the print version.
- They changed the original story because they finally heard from Levien after it had been published, and they followed Levien's wishes to replace Gay and Randolph's quotes with his own.
- They changed the original story because some part of Tillery's reporting was wrong. Based on Tillery's blog post, though, this seems unlikely.
SB Nation has emailed Commercial Appeal sports editor David Williams to ask for an explanation. We will post his response once we receive it.
UPDATE: In an email to SB Nation, Williams wrote that the story was re-written because "Levien agreed to talk to us." The quotes from Randolph and Gay "didn't make the updated version" of the story, so the paper decided to post them in the aforementioned Tillery blog post the next morning.

Journalist Brent Schlender shares memories of Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs interacted with many people over the course of his career at Apple, NeXT and Pixar. Employees and journalists covering his companies became part of his inner circle and got a rare glimpse of the real man behind the public persona. One such journalist was famed Fortune writer Brent Schlender.
Schlender followed the career of Steve Jobs starting in 1987, covering him when he was at NeXT and then again as head of Apple. In a recent Fortune article, Schlender recounts his time with Jobs over the past two decades. He tells the story of how Jobs laughed when Schlender called him the "graying prince of a shrinking kingdom" in an article that appeared before Jobs introduced the iPod and turned Apple around.
Schlender also recounts a time when Jobs invited him and his children over on a Saturday to show them an early version of Toy Story. Jobs wasn't interested in Schlender's opinion, he was watching the kid's reactions. Even though most of it was an animated storyboard and not fully fleshed out, the children were captivated by what they saw.
You can read more about Jobs's interaction with Schlender and the media in his piece at Fortune. It may not be as comprehensive as Isaacson's biography, but it's still worth a read for those interested in a personal look at the man who co-founded Apple.

No. 706,398, filed Feb. 19, 1968 now abandoned. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the past decade there has been a concerted effort to reduce the size of electronic circuits so as to conserve space, reduce weight and increase reliability. However, as one gets down to microminiature circuits the difficulties in providing small terminal areas, close conductor spacings and adequate insulation of the microminiature circuit elements are increased. It is the present practice in semiconductor manufacture to attach semiconductor elements to interconnecting supporting structures and packages such as flat packs by means of eutectic bonding. This bonding is accomplished by heating the package to the eutectic temperature of Gold-Silicon alloy, and scrubbing the silicon device into the gold surface of the package. Disadvantages of this process are that printed conductors cannot pass beneath the silicon elements because this would electrically short the device and low packaging density. In microcircuits, the conductor interconnections generally can absorb any relative motion due to differential expansion between the elements and the substrate. In the smaller microminiature circuit devices this problem becomes increasingly difficult because the conductors are much thinner and shorter. There, in some cases, the substrate can be made with a plurality of cavities into which microminiature elements such as resistors, semiconductor units or any other active or passive electronic element or a plurality of such elements in integrated form may be placed. In such assemblies the microminiature elements are held in place by an insulating cement and the conductor interconnections to thin film circuits on the substrate are made by means such as vacuum deposition. The insulating cement or binder in this case can also act as a bridge for the interconnection conductors between the recessed microminiature elements and the substrate. Differential expansion between dissimilar materials, if concentrated at the area of a small bridging electric conductor can introduce severe cyclic elongation and contraction of the conductor as the temperature changes. Therefore in microminiature assemblies which may experience substantial temperature changes it is important to match the coefficients of thermal expansion of the microminiature circuit elements, interconnection conductors, substrate and insulating cement. It is especially important that the cement have a low coefficient of thermal expansion so that expansion and contraction is kept to a minimum. Other essential qualities needed in the cement are: excellent insulating properties, adequate humidity resistance, excellent bond strength, good thermal shock properties, good screenability and ability to accept a deposited conductor with good adhesion of conductor to binder material. The cement must also provide a continuous surface free from voids, cracks or other abrupt surface imperfections that would interfere with subsequent conductor deposition or that would tend to concentrate failure inducing stresses at the conductor. SUMMARY Accordingly it is the general object of this invention to provide a new and improved high temperature, low thermal expansion insulating cement composition. Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved microminiature circuit device. Briefly, the present invention accomplishes the above cited objects by bonding circuit elements onto glass or alumina substrates or into cavities in glass or alumina substrates with a new and improved insulating cement, curing the cement binder composition and interconnecting the circuit elements and a plurality of thin film circuits on the substrate. This invention solves the problem of formulating an ideal insulating cement composition for use with circuit elements in a circuit assembly possessing the aforementioned essential qualities and which can be fully cured to improve its overall reliability without subsequent cracking. The use of the binder of this invention allows interconnecting conductors to pass beneath circuit elements attached directly to the substrate. The result is that more devices may be packaged within a single structure so that electronic assemblies may be lighter in weight, simpler to fabricate and maintain, and cost less to produce. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds and features of novelty which characterize the invention will be pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this specification. For a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a crosssectional view of a microminiature circuit element, in this case a microdot chip semiconductor; FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the substrate; FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the substrate after deposition of thin film circuitry and after cavities have been ground out; FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view after the microminiature circuit element has been inserted into the cavity; FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view after the insulating cement has been deposited to fill up the gaps between the substrate and the circuit element; FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view after the interconnecting conductors have been deposited; and FIG. 7 is a plan view illustrating one type of a microminiature circuit device; and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of this invention. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS It has now been discovered that. microminiature circuit devices employing microminiature elements can be made to withstand substantial temperature changes with an insulating cement composition that, in accordance with this invention, contains a finely divided inorganic filler having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion and a heat resistant resin. A thixotroping agent may be included to make the composition suitable for convenient application. Referring now to FIG. 1, a microminiature element 1 as for example a body of semiconductor material such as silicon is shown composed of an N-type silicon, a P-type silicon and a P- N junction. The microminiature element can be any active or passive electronic element or a plurality of such elements in integrated form. The circuit element may be round, square or of other configuration. The circuit elements can be in microdot chip form and generally consist of an individual semiconductor component produced in situ on glass or silicon substrates. These microdots can vary in size, generally ranging from 0.003 to 0.03 inch in height and from 0.03 to 0.06 inch in diameter. FIG. 2 shows the substrate. The substrate used in microminiature circuitry must be chosen carefully because its surface can influence the components crystal orientation and because its physical and mechanical characteristics can affect the operation of the microminiature circuit device. In general the substrate material should have a combination of low electrical conductivity and low dielectric constant. Overly high conductivity can cause shorting and leakage. A high dielectric constant can induce distributive capacitance and an accompanying undesirable effect on circuit performance. In addition, materials for high power density circuits where a large amount of heat is generated, should have a high coefficient of thermal conductivity and high emissivity and specific heat. Some materials used for such substrates are: soda lime, borosilicate and fused silica glasses; aluminum and beryllium oxide ceramics; and high-temperature silicone and fluorocarbon resins. Soda lime glass is the most commonly used substrate material due to its low cost and low surface roughness. It has a thermal expansion of 4.8 X per F. If lower thermal expansion can be tolerated, then borosilicate glass 1.1 10 per F. and fused silica (0.3 X 10- per F.) are more suitable because of their better thermal shock properties. FIGS. 3-7 show one embodiment of this invention wherein the low thermal expansion binder is used to cement microminiature elements such as semiconductor units into recessed cavities in the substrate. It is to be understood that the elements may he cemented, without being recessed, directly to the substrate surface to form the circuit device, a plurality of which may be assembled to provide an electrical package of microminiature circuit devices. FIG. 3 shows a cavity 21 in the substrate 10. The cavities can be introduced into the substrate through ultrasonic impact grinding or other known processes. Also shown is the thin film circuitry on the surface of the substrate. FIG. 4 shows the assembly after the microminiature element has been inserted into the cavity on top of sufficient insulating cement 30 to register the top surface of the microminiature element flush to within 0.005 inches of the top surface ofthe thin film circuitry. The gaps 31 are not, at this point, filled with insulating cement. FIG. 5 shows the assembly after the gaps 31 of FIG. 4 are filled. A small amount of cement overflow forms a bridge at 40. The process of filling the gaps may be accomplished by silk screening the cement through a mask which covers the area over the component or by spraying the cement through a suitable stencil. The cement is an admixture of insulating varnish, thixotroping agent and inert inorganic filler. The insulating varnish used in the cement is a fluid solution of admixture containing a high temperature resin. Precursor solutions that produce aromatic polyimide or aromatic polyamide-imide resins are suitable examples. Aromatic polyimide resins and precursors therefor are described in US. Pat. Nos. 3,179,631, 3,179,632, 3,179,633 and 3,179,634 and reference may be made thereto for details on the methods of preparing such precursor solutions and solid resins. The aromatic polyamide-imide precursor solutions and solid resins are described and claimed in US. Pat. No. 3,179,635, assigned to the assignee of this invention, and reference may be made thereto for details on the methods of preparing those resins. Some solvents that may be used with these aromatic polyimide and aromatic polyamide-imide precursors are dimethyl acetamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. Others are described in the aforementioned patents. Polymeric methylene bridged diphenyl oxide resins are particularly suitable for the insulating varnish component 0 the cement binder. Such resins have outstanding humidity and thermal shock properties. Suitable methylene bridged diphenyl oxide resins and their preparation are described in application Ser. No. 571,138, filed Aug. 8, 1966 and reference may be made thereto for details on the methods of preparing such resins and varnishes. Some solvents that may be used with this resin are toluene and xylene. Others are described in the aforementioned application. The cement also contains an inert, finely divided inorganic lithium aluminum silicate filler with a negative coefficient of thermal expansion. Examples of such inorganic lithium aluminum silicate fillers are derivatives of petalite, spodumene and eucryptite. Petalite is a disilicate of lithium and aluminum with small amounts of sodium and has the composition Li O- Al O 8SiO or LiAl(Si2O It occurs in granite pegmatites with other lithium minerals. Spodumene is a metasilicate of lithium and aluminum with possible small amounts of sodium and chromium and has the composition Li O 'Al O 4SiO or LiAl(SiO;,)- It occurs in granite pegmatites with quartz, alkalic feldspars, muscovite, lepidolite, tourmaline, beryl, occasionally petalite, and with certain phosphate minerals. Eucryptite is a orthosilicate of aluminum and lithium and has the composition Li Q-Al O SiO or LiAlSiO These fillers should be about 400 mesh (37 microns) or finer. The cement binder may also contain a fiocculent thixotroping agent to prevent excessive flow out of the cement after screening. In FIG. 6 metal interconnection conductors 50 are shown after having been deposited. The interconnection conductors that are commonly used are electrically conductive metals as for example aluminum, gold, silver, copper and base alloys thereof. The interconnections between the microminiature elements and the thin film circuitry on the substrate may be accomplished by therrnocompression bonding, ultrasonic welding, vapor decomposition, cathode sputtering, ,using a conductive epoxy resin bridge or by vacuum evaporation of thin metallic films which are processed through a stencillike mask or photo etched to provide a geometrical configuration. The lastmethod was found to be especially effective. It involves heating a material in a vacuum to such a temperature that a vapor pressure of less than 5 X 10- torr is obtained. In this process the metal to be vaporized is placed on a high resistance filament connected between two low resistance bus bars. Large currents are passed through the bus bars'and the metal vaporizes and condenses upon a suitably placed substrate which is marked to confine the deposit to the geometrical pattern desired. FIG. 7 is a plan view of the recessed type microminiature circuit device showing a plurality of thin film circuitry 20, insulating cement 40 covering part of the thin film circuitry and interconnection conductors 50. FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of this invention wherein the microminiature element 1 is bonded'to the substrate 10 with the cement of this invention 30 without being recessed. Also shown is the thin film circuitry 20 and thermocompression bonded metal interconnection conductors 50. EXAMPLE 1 Dummy semiconductor chips to act as microminiature elements were first made from a suitable semiconductor material. A silicon substrate about 0.010 inches thick was used. It was coated with melted wax and positioned on a metal plate to hold it in place on a jig under an ultrasonic impact grinding machine. I-Iollow steel tubes having' inside diameters of about 0.050 inch were used for drills and a water slurry of 280 mesh boron carbide was used as a grinding compound. The resulting semiconductor elements were then cleaned using standard ultrasonic cleaning chamber techniques for 15 minutes with trichloroethylene and 20 minutes with a de-ionized water and a sodium carbonate detergent, manufactured by Alconox Inc. of New York and sold under the trade name Alconox. This was followed by a de-ionized water rinse. The semiconductor elements were again put in the ultrasonic cleaning chamber and cleaned using standard ultrasonic techniques for 20 minutes with de-ionized water. The semiconductor elements were finally air dried. They measured about 0.050 inch in diameter and 0.010 inch in thickness. Next, cavities were cut into the aluminum oxide substrate about 0.010 inch deep to within a 0.001 inch tolerance on Vsinch centers using ultrasonic impact grinding techniques. A drill stock, 1/16 inch outside diameter, was selected for the grinding tool. The drilled cavities actually measured 0.065 inch in diameter in the unglazed aluminum oxide substrate. The depth of the cavity was 0.010 with a deviation of 10.003 inch. A special jig was built to hold and register the substrates for drilling. The substrates were 2 inches square and arrived at the drilling table sized to fit the magazine of the microcircuit jig. They were coated with melted wax and positioned on a square template. The squared edge of the template was registered to the squared edge of the jig. All measurements were referenced to this corner. Permanently drilled in the jig was a set of holes parallel to the reference edges. The center of the pattern was also lined up along one of the center lines of the substrate. Four cavity patterns were drilled symmetrically about the center along cartesian coordinates. Another jig having the precise dimension of the vacuum deposition mask was built to check the substrates. The substrates were then removed from the templates and were cleaned following the procedure outlined above. They were then further cleaned with chromic-sulfuric acid followed by a de-ionized water rinse, then with isopropyl alcohol followed by drying with blown nitrogen gas. in preparation for deposition of gold thin film circuitry the substrate was precleaned using blown dry nitrogen gas then a pressure spray of equal parts reagent trade toluene, acetone and isopropyl alcohol followed by air drying. The gold thin film circuitry on the substrate was then deposited by vacuum deposition. Normal procedure involves initial evaporation of chromium to achieve adhesion at the surface of the substrate and then without breaking the vacuum, initiation of gold deposition simultaneously with the chromium, finally stopping the chromium evaporation but continuing the gold deposition to reach the desired thickness and/or conductivity of the gold conductors. The semiconductor components were cemented into the cavities with the low coefficient of thermal expansion cement of this invention. A small amount of the cement was placed at the bottom of the cavity. The circuit element was positioned on top of the cement. The dummy chips were brought flush with the thin film circuitry on the substrate to within 0.005 inches by bottoming them in the cavity. The resin cement contained the following: polymeric diphenylene oxide resinuous varnish 48 weight percent (37.4 parts by weight), available commercially under the trade name Doryl B-l09-3 from Westinghouse Electric Corporation; silica gel thixotroping agent available commercially under the trade name Cab-O-Sil from the Godfrey Cabot Company, 0.7 weight percent (0.6 parts by weight); an inert lithium filler of the formula Li O- Al,0,;8Si0, manufactured by Foote Mineral Company and sold under the trade name SF Zerifac 51.3 weight percent (40.0 parts by weight). This lithium base filler has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion of about O.l3 X 10- per degrees C. It is important that the lithium base filler be 400 mesh or finer. The weight percent of the ingredients can vary :5 percent with no adverse affect on thermal shock properties. In this formulation, the viscosity of the base B-l09-3 varnish was controlled at 435 5 centipoises at 25 1 1 C. using a Brookfield Viscometer 01 spindle at 20 r.p.m. The cement formulation was ball milled 72 hours to yield a smooth thixotropic material. The assembly was then cured as follows: a minimum of 2 hours at room temperature followed by 1 hour at 50 C., 65 C., 85 C., 100 C., 125 C., 175 C. and finally 2 hours at 200 C. to completely cure the resin bridging material and bond the elements in place. This cure schedule was essential to provide gradual solvent release from the compound. Next, the gaps existing between the various components and the substrate were filled with the bridging cement. This was accomplished by silk screening through a mask which was forced into contact with the elements by the pressure of the squeegee. A small overlapping on the thin film circuitry and semiconductor chip was left to provide a smooth bridge for the interconnection conductor and to make sure there were no weak spots. The structure was again cured as described above to completely cure the resin bridging material and to provide a smooth crack free resin bridge. The substrate and microcomponent assemblies were again predeposition cleaned as described above, placed in a fixture, and over the assembly a registered stencil type mask is mounted. Using vacuum depositing techniques, gold, interconnection conductors about 0.006 inch wide and about 0.0004 inch thick were deposited onto the area defined by the stencil so that the semiconductor chip and the thin film circuitry were interconnected bag the gold conductors. Thus the semiconductor c tps were bonded to the substrate EXAMPLE [I In this experiment the circuit element was an integrated circuit device which was cemented directly to a thin gold pad on an aluminum oxide substrate. The resin cement contained the following: polymeric diphenylene resinous varnish 48 weight percent 37.4 parts by weight), available commercially under the trade name Doryl B-l09-3 from Westinghouse Electric Corporation; silica gel thixotroping agent available commercially under the trade name Cal-O-Sil from the Godfrey Cabot Company, 0.7 weight percent (0.6 partsby weight); an inert lithium filler of the formula Lao-A1 0, 8Si0, manufactured by Foote Mineral Company and sold under the trade name SF Zerifac 51.3 weight percent (40.0 parts by weight). A small amount of the cement was spread evenly on the gold layer surface in the desired mounting location. The circuit element was pressed into the resin cement spreading. The substrate with the element bonded directly to the gold layer was then placed in a cam controlled oven at room temperature. The temperature was raised to 300 C. over a one hour period and held at 300 C. for one hour. it was found that the cured resin was capable of withstanding the bonding temperature required for C. wire bonding for many hours, although only a fraction of this time is required for the interconnection. This cement could also be used to bond circuit elements to other metallic layers on the substrate or to vitreous or organic insulating layers. This cement serves as a substitute for a metallic bond between substrate and the element with sufficient structural integrity and thermal stability to permit subsequent processing. We claim: I. A microminiature circuit device comprising a substrate, thin film circuitry on said substrate, a plurality of microminiature elements mounted on the substrate, a high temperature resinous cement containing a finely divided inner filler having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion bonding the microminiature element onto the substrate, and a plurality of metallic interconnection conductors running from the microminiature elements to the thin film circuitry. 2.
