It would be great if all school kids could have a Macbook, or even an iPad with a keyboard. Most public schools districts lack the resources to buy anything from Apple - Chromebooks fill a niche (my kids use them for relatively straightforward online math and reading app access) and they work perfectly well.

It's really unfortunate when someone like Schiller makes comments like this from his Cupertino ivory tower, it just confirms how supremely out of touch Apple is with public school education, as if there was any need to do that after the LA school district debacle. 

I have zero interest in another VR headset, I'm not a gamer nor an architect nor or someone else who would want to use one. I am looking forward to AR glasses and was hoping something would come sooner than 3 or 4 years.

Rather than AR as the focus Apple will be targeting VR uses like gaming, just the opposite of what has been reported in the past couple of years??

Disagree - I think if Apple nails this, it will be huge, as big as the iPhone for them. The release of this can’t happen soon enough

Good thread on why Google likely paid more than they actually needed to. Basically, an acquihire for talent, not for any particular IP.

Fitbit was otherwise doomed without a sale.

Thanks - first useful post in this thread (the rest being about hating Google or how great the heading was written)

I hope everyone can get their HomePods u up and running again.

Likewise, hope there’s a simple fix for affected folks.
