Is there a downside? Well, if you’re a professional for whom only the very best will do, then the 27-inch iMac’s backlighting still isn’t up to the standards of pro-monitors. While the backlighting of money-no-object displays is designed to be consistent from corner to corner, deviating by as little as a handful of percent, the iMac is less rigorous – in my testing, it was between 10% and 16% dimmer in the bottom-left corner, and around 10% dimmer in the right. If you absolutely need a display that is consistent across the whole panel, then this isn’t it (it is worth mentioning that the 21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display is much, much better than its larger stablemate in this regard), but you’ll need good eyes – and some serious experience – to notice the problems in the first place.

Oh, and by the way, if you fancy plugging in your MacBook and using the iMac as a 5K monitor, well, tough – you can't. Apple still doesn't support Target Display mode on the 27-inch iMac. Theoretically, Apple could have added Thunderbolt 3 to make that a possibility, but it didn't bother. Boo, hiss, etc. You can bet your bottom dollar that they'll add that feature next year, just to give you a nagging reason to upgrade, though. This article as originally published in December 2015, when Britain's preparations for Rio 2016 were well underway. Now the team have added a set of new medals to their collection, it's a good time to revisit it and see exactly how technology helped these world class athletes stay one stroke ahead of their rivals.For a sport that’s thousands of years old, there’s an awful lot you can learn about rowing. With roots in ancient Egypt, we certainly have a great deal of experience in getting the most out of oars and boats, but with years of training involved, and the difference between gold and bronze often coming down to seconds, every single competitive advantage has to be mined.

At London 2012, British rowers picked up nine medals – four of them gold. In almost every one of those, the difference between first and third was less than five seconds. Moreover, it came down to fractions of a second in two of them, with just 0.25 seconds meaning Great Britain lost out to South Africa for gold in the men’s lightweight coxless four. With such tight margins at stake, it’s no wonder that, to ensure the future success of Britain’s rowers, technology is playing a major part in the build up to Rio 2016. I visited the team in Reading to see exactly how technology shapes their training, and the kind of improvements it can produce.Jack Mercer and Jamie Thomas talk about the tech behind Britai...

The headband charges via micro-USB, which – iPhone users aside – the majority of you should have spares aplenty for. Rather neatly, it has two charging points, meaning that if you need to use it plugged in for whatever reason, you won’t have a wire waving in your face and breaking your concentration. Battery life shouldn’t be a huge deal breaker anyway. For one thing, the light on the earpiece gives you a snapshot of how much juice is left at a glance, and for another, a single charge is good for five or six seven-minute sessions.Said sessions can be a little fiddly to set up at first. I didn’t have any real issues, with my short, freshly chopped hair, but my girlfriend’s shoulder length hair did get in the way of the ear sensors. In the end, those with long hair are best off tying it back before they begin, saving some of the stress the Muse is designed to alleviate.These teething problems get easier, especially if you’re the only person using it, and not needing to constantly adjust the band. It connects to your phone via Bluetooth, meaning, once paired, it’s fairly straightforward each time you need some tranquility. Just switch it on, put it on your head, and start up the accompanying free app.

So, in case it’s not already completely obvious, the InteraXon Muse isn’t designed to change your brain for you. Think of it more as like a Fitbit or JawBone for feeling calm – in other words, it gives you the data, and encourages you into better habits rather than forcing your brain to clear, just like a Fitbit doesn’t force your legs to move.To that end, upon loading the app, you first need to give the sensors a baseline level of your brain at full pace. To do this, it’ll give you a simple brain teaser to plug away at: it might ask you to name as many types of fruit as you can, for example, or musical instruments. All in your head, of course – it’s just about the headset figuring out what your brain “sounds like” when it’s going flat out on a round of trivia.

“Think of it more as like a Fitbit or JawBone for feeling calm – in other words, it encourages you into better habits rather than forcing your brain to clear.” You can really see anything triggering it as well when you’re first setting it up. Blink, and you’ll see the headband picking up something, and it goes into overdrive when you start up proper critical thought. This is why it’s so adept at being a useful tool for clearing your head: it can instantly tell when your mind is wandering.So: the meditation. You can pick how long you want a session to last (three, seven, 12 or 20 minutes), and how difficult you want it to be (which presumably just changes the sensitivity of the band), and you’re away.

You’re given a calming beach scene on the phone (there’s no sound output from the headset itself), and your job is to ensure the weather doesn’t change. Stop thinking and bliss out, and you’re rewarded with continuing peace and quiet – as if you were relaxing on a secluded beach in the Bahamas – but let your mind wander and things get stormy and unpleasant, like Skegness in a hurricane. Long periods of relaxation are rewarded by the sound of birds visiting and all this is also drawn on-screen, meaning you can see the wind blowing through the trees – which is a bit silly, given the app tells you to close your eyes when you begin.Once the time is up, you’re shown the summary of your meditation in a nice chart form, and the gamification begins, with points handed out and medals awarded for reaching certain milestones (your first long meditation, for example, or attracting an unusual number of tranquil birds to join your circle of calm). The ultimate aim here is to level up and unlock new “locations”.

Now, I’ve tried meditation before, and what I’ve found is that every time you think you’ve cleared your head, you find yourself thinking “this is it! I’ve reached serenity!” only to realise that you’re thinking again and have, in fact, lost the game. The InteraXon Muse makes it pretty clear that, yes, that counts.And yes, it will make you better at catching yourself if you use it on a daily basis. There’s a slight delay upon thinking and the “game” catching up with you, which is bad because it makes it quite hard to clear your thoughts proactively if you catch yourself before the headband does. Still, it will gradually make you better at clearing your mind, which is broadly what it promises on the box.

Whether or not that will make you calmer in stressful situations, and indeed whether you think that’s worth £235, is another matter. And it isn’t the only way of training yourself to keep calm and clear your mind: there are plenty of (far cheaper) apps available across the Apple App Store and Google Play promising to do precisely the same thing.These don’t offer the analytics, technology and audio cues. In effect, they’re trusting you to police yourself, while the InteraXon Muse knows when you’re not calm and gently encourages you to improve. InteraXon certainly seems confident in its superiority, offering a generous 60-day money back guarantee for those unconvinced. Should you be a developer that wants to play with the kit, you can also access the raw unfiltered data on Mac and PC if you use the free development kit, which may sway some.Personally, I don’t value the sort of peace-of-mind on offer here, and would find that kind of outlay extremely hard to justify. I’d rather try spending a couple of quid on an app, but given I’m now slightly calmer than I was a week ago, I can accept your perceptions may differ: live and let live, brother.

Discovered Windows 10 isn't for you? Worry not, Microsoft's pearly dream of a unified OS with snazzy features and a clean UI isn't permanent! With our handy guide you can go back to Windows 8.1 or Windows 7. Downgrading from Windows 10 doesn’t have to be a messy task, with Microsoft offering a simple solution for those who have upgraded to 10 within the last month. But, even if you have been using Windows 10 for more than a month, or performed a clean install, you can still go back with relative ease.If you updated your computer to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you can revert back to your old OS in a few simple steps. However, you need to make sure your Windows 10 install is less than a month old, and that Windows 10 hasn’t deleted some key files needed for your rollback.

Downgrading from Windows 10 to an earlier version of Microsoft’s OS if you performed a clean install is a little tricker than upgrading. If your month rollback window has also closed, this is how you’ll still be able to go back to an earlier version of Windows.First, back up your key files to external hard drives, USB flash drives or cloud services like Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive. Next, you’ll need your Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 install DVD to perform a recovery installation of Windows. If you don’t have that, worry not – Microsoft has been kind enough to provide recovery software for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, provided you still have the product keys.
