Chicago flagship Apple store dimming lights at night to prevent further migratory bird dea...
suddenly newton said:To any ornithologist: how do dimming of lights reduce the risk that migratory birds will strike the side of buildings? It seems counterintuitive. The reason buildings and other tall structures are lit at night (either entirely or with those flashing red marker lights) is so aircraft won't hit them.
"The reasons are not entirely understood, but nocturnal migrants often navigate by the stars and illuminated windows and other night lights often divert them from their original flight paths, especially in low-ceiling or foggy conditions."

Me: [during lunch break] Oh, so tell me more about "A6X: How Apple's iPad silicon Disrupted mobile video gaming."
DED: Let's take a stop in 2012.
Me: Sure.
DED: But that requires going to 2008.
Me: Sigh
DED: [Cracks knuckles, sips coffee] Actually, in the 1990s...

iPhone 15 Pro review: Best balance of performance to price yet in an iPhone
I love the lead-in to this. Starts off with the proposition that "The new iPhone 15 Pro raises the bar once more for the high-end smartphone market, packing a ton of new and tempting features inside its lightweight titanium frame." And the opening point is summed up with "Apple is giving our littlest fingers a break." -
Apple has big and cartoonish plans for Vision Pro's EyeSight
This is really amazing. It goes to show you that this device really has so much possibility. It's so much more than just a higher DPI headset. Immersive experiences, interactive games, and VR are all great and that's what all the other headsets offer. Meanwhile, Apple Vision Pro has advanced input and so many more ways to engage with the device. As frivolous as it sounds to put tiger eyes on the front of the device, the fact that we're even talking about how to communicate with others physically outside the device is what sets this on another level. -
Apple illegally denied benefits to union workers, says US labor board
pjt1 said:Total Bullshit. Apple employees have the best pay/benefit plan in the industry. These idiots haven't a clue and are damaging the employment of their coworkers. They need to quit and go work at Starbucks or their nearest supermarket. They'd be better off bagging groceries. -
Apple won't send reviewers a Vision Pro without briefings, says Gurman
Stabitha_Christie said:tech_traveller said:Probably isn't going to be so special if you have to worry so much about negative reviews.
Regardless, this device will probably be well received, but it wouldn't be an iPhone replacement. Not for the next decade. -
Ming-Chi Kuo: Investors should be cautious about Apple Vision Pro launch hype
All tech companies have said something along the lines of "We aren't always first but we bring the best" and I think this will be the best consumer launch for a VR/AR product. Apple device owners will love the familiarity of the eco-system and even non-Apple device owners will love the advancements that this is making.
I think the big questions are how fast this can be adopted or whether it will be successful with a very narrow target audience. iPhones are for everyone which is why this is the foundation product for the company. After that you quickly get into a funnel of customers. Laptops, tablets, smartwatches, not everyone needs these. Apple can make it relevant by showing us more ways we can use it for work, meetings, catching up with others. If it helps with productivity, if there's a network effect then it's going to attract more interest.
