  • Apple's largest research lab outside the US opens in China

    Putting a research lab in China makes no sense. China has a well-deserved reputation for intellectual property theft. That's bad enough with the items are already in production. It's far worse to have ideas stolen when they're still under development. China could be releasing Apple-designed products before Apple itself does so.

    Crazy, crazy, crazy.
    I agree. All it takes is for the Chinese government to declare everything researched in that lab belongs to them. They just arrested 4 Taiwanese executives for being Taiwanese in China. How many more literal red flags do you need?

  • J.D. Vance shouldn't open his mouth about Apple if he doesn't have a clue

    In other news, immigrants in Springfield steal and eat others' dogs and eat them. 

    Who the fuck cares what bullshit JD Vance spouts, unless it's subsequently picked up by Tr*mp to utterly embarrass himself to a worldwide audience?

    Clueless idiot. Oh and btw Springfield do you know that your pets are getting eaten?  Fido is being roasted up right now. Smh you can’t even make this stuff up!
    As someone born and raised in Springfield, Ohio, one of the best things about my hometown was being able to grab someone's dog for lunch on the way to school.

    Good times...   :D

    Other rumors say that Sleep Apnea will not be in because the blood oxygen sensing is banned still.
    I'm fairly sure it would detect the breathing rhythm rather than blood oxygen.

  • First-world problems drives Apple's robotics development

    Looking forward to the day I can wake up and say "Siri, bring me my coffee...", and have it brought to my bed.

    I tried it this morning and she said, "There's nothing called coffee on your Calendar...". So there's lot's of room for improvement.   :|

  • Meta cancels its headset rival to Apple Vision Pro

    lotoneslotones
    No need to follow after something that isn’t quite working in the market. 

    The killer app for headsets is entertainment - gaming and media. 

    In that sense, meta even has the better product. 

    Apple has the far superior hardware, software, and ecosystem. 

    But all the hardware and OS polish in the world isn’t going to save a product that the market has rejected time and again - save for a niche subset of gamers. 

    The quest is lighter, doesn’t require a tethered battery, and plays decent games. 

    While there are some compelling engineering/medical use cases, it’s not a mass market thing. 

    Most people just don’t want to be encumbered by a device for their daily needs. 

    When it’s indoor/outdoor sunglasses, that may possibly change. 

    But headsets just suck. 

    One of the best decisions Meta ever made is saying “no” to this. Kinda like Apple used to do.  
    Or... Meta realized they can't just slap together something in 6 months to compete with something that has almost 10 years of development behind it. The  only thing holding back the Vision Pro from becoming a blockbuster success is its price. When that comes down everybody will want one. Remember, the iPod was based on only one kind of media. When people start seeing their friends with one and they have a chance to try it out for themselves, Apple Vision For-The-Rest-of-Us will be huge.
