  • Lawsuit claims Apple appropriated idea for diverse emoji characters

    So this guy copyrighted acknowledging that people have different skin colors? Sounds legit.

  • Apple's Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro up for preorder on Amazon, supposedly ships on May 30

    The price of that thing is nuts, and I plan to buy it the second it’s available.

  • What's Apple's Vision Pro killer app?

    mistergoodmanmistergoodman
    I have and love every Apple device. I love them. I also have a Quest 2 and 3, so I’m already doing the mixed reality thing and enjoying it. I’ve used the Quests to watch TV, exercise, wander through places I’ll never experience in real life and to enjoy performances. 

    But if my Quest 3 suddenly got a super high def screen like the VP, I wouldn’t use it much more. I don’t believe VR or MX are the future in anything like their present form (goggles on your face). In the past Microsoft jumped the gun on tablets and smartphones, releasing products before the technology existed to make them truly great. It feels like Apple has done this here. So far Apple has been marketing the VP as an expensive replacement for big screens. That’s not going to fly. And I don’t know if the market or Apple will have the patience to stick with this until a real killer app emerges.

  • Compared: Magic Keyboard versus Smart Keyboard Folio

    Just got my Magic Keyboard, and it is awesome. Turns out it was money well spent.

    FaceBook META doesn’t realize people don’t like them or trust them. Even those that use them, don’t. I honestly believe this was cancelled because, like the FaceBook phone before it, they saw the handwriting on the wall and realized that it would never fly. 
    Everybody out there with a Portal, raise your hand.

    Hello?

    Anybody?

    Hello?

    Bueller?

     I will cop to having a Portal TV (God rest it’s soul). It’s actually pretty great for video chatting. I have a Quest 2 as well. Even though Facebook is slime I don’t mind supporting the Quest platform, because I don’t think VR is ever going to be a big thing, so the platform will never be anything but a money suck for them. If VR ever does catch on, it’ll probably be the result of an Apple product.

  • Who will deliver immersive content for Apple Vision Pro?

    mistergoodmanmistergoodman
    "I think watching immersive TV and video content will be enough to drive adoption." 

    I guess that may be true for people who are basically hermits (and/or tech enthusiasts). Personally, I love my family way too much to cut myself off from them like that. Also, I find virtual screens that are too large distracting, as I have to constantly move my head to take everything in. Also, the control scheme seems to make for a great demo, but it feels like it would be too limiting and frustrating for complex tasks.
