Trump speaks in fits and starts instead of sentences. He has below normal abilities in syntax and grammar because he can hardly read. His verbal skills are formed by dialog on television. A shorthand construction like “Tim Apple” is therefore perf…

abolish said: What's crazy about this rumor is the camera power requirements. Unlike predecessors like Google Glass, AR glasses will require a camera that's on during use and transmitting a live feed to the phone the whole time. Immediately t…

Malcolm, thanks for the roundup. Not an easy story to write. I had missed that March 2018 patent on 3D editing, so I’m glad you brought it up again in this context. I have long believed that 3D text, i.e., the words hanging in space by means of b…

AppleExposed said: Good buy! But when will Apple use their tech? Apple acquired a company years ago that had a voice assistant that was so smart it makes all the current assistants look like 4-year-olds. Do you remember any details to sear…

StrangeDays said: Google, Microsoft, Apple...guy got around. Surprised he left Apple before launching whatever it is he was working on. Hope it’s still an active product. Maybe there’s not much to do until those little 8K screens are read…
