    Will prescription lenses be available?
    Yes..?

    Do you really expect such details to be available on an unannounced product?
    Of course not, but he brings up a good point.  The Apple Watch "just" had to displace traditional watches, but Apple Glasses would have to displace regular glasses.  I imagine that the number of people who wear glasses is much higher than the people who used to wear watches.
    Apple’s glasses are not built to replace or displace the eyeglass market. They are another wearable computing device which currently has no competition except the holo lens which is not a mass market product. This will be a whole new market and Apple will be the first to sell it in mass quantities
    If they have built-in cameras they could.
    That’s actually really interesting and I never thought of that. Virtual correction lenses....I stand corrected

    MS certainly cares about Apple hardware these days.
    Seems like a desperation move to me.
    A few years ago, maybe. MS is all-in on web services for business now and they do a great job with azure and office360. Great for business who can write-off subscriptions, maybe not great for consumers who can’t.

    I have a 19” 720P monitor I want to use. Will the Mac Pro connect to that via SVGA or am I going to have live in dongle hell? Might get the dual Vega 2 and afterburner card.......ok fine, here it is; </s>

    So far, I've seen some seriously edgy and highly thoughtful videos coming out of Apple TV+. Far from the pablum some on this forum were predicting, this stuff is not pulling any punches. The adult fare is in fact adult fare.

    It would be a shame if what looks to be yet another edgy and thoughtful offering gets permanently pulled due to some individual's failings. Hopefully, a way forward can be found to release this film I was personally looking forward to.
    After watching the prayer ritual in the first couple episodes of "See", I'm not too worried about Apple being edgy enough. Good show so far. It's no Mandalorian (which is spectacular) but still it's good.
