This is very exciting! I know that 3D Printer designers will love the ability to use touch to manipulate 3D objects!

I had a hard time reading this article. The captions below the pictures are repeated (sometimes more than once) nor do they make sense (for instance: "The old volume indicator (right) and the new" was repeated 4 times, and the new was on the right and the old was on the left; the way the sentence is structured, it sounds like the old was on the right). Right now, I am depending on articles like these to get myself prepared for what to expect with the new releases. Some checking of the articles before posting them would be greatly appreciated.

One thing that wasn't mentioned was the fact that Apple is actively helping out with Godot. For those who do not know, Godot is an open-source game engine that can do 3D and 2D games on it, and has a relatively easy to use interface. Apple has recently did a PR request on it to have visionOS as a part of Godot's systems that are supported. I would say that this is a major indicator that Apple wants to position visionOS as a true gaming system that has the hardware and software to support it.

As a parent, I can definitely say that this is a bad idea. Apple already lets me mark accounts as a child account. As such, when one of my kids asks to be allowed to download an app, it has to get permission from me or my wife. This is already a simple enough solution to this problem, and it puts the onus of the situation where it belongs: WITH THE PARENTS.

The moment that you are having additional age verification, you are having to store sensitive information. Since the App Store (and Google Play for that matter) would be known for having to store not just the date of birth but some other verification of the age of a child, you now have a known location to try to get all sorts of PII (Personal Identifiable Information). So, by doing this "for our children" you have in effect made them LESS SECURE.

Also, the argument of "parents can't be bothered or ill-informed" is making other entities or people responsible for your kids instead of the parents. It is a nonsense argument at best; and a dangerous one at the worst.

I know I am in the minority, but I thought that the Magic Mouse (especially the second one with recharging) was an excellent mouse. Well, to be fair, it became excellent once I had BetterTouchTool installed. I could do a whole lot with it! I had to switch to a vertical mouse due to potential carpal tunnel, but I did love that mouse!
