  • Apple shows MR headset to executives ahead of rumored June unveiling

    Due to the recent mendacities of the establishment I will never buy one of these. I have removed wifi from my home and my kids are watching DVDs. I am strongly considering going back to a flip phone as well after having an iphone since the 3g. 
    No wifi? Are posting this via carrier pigeon?

    could be Ethernet. It’s still a thing. 

    That or cellular data connection.

    Still scratching my head with this. 

    It has “throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see what sticks” written all over it. 

    That is soooo not Apple, which is notoriously well managed and says no to a million things before saying yes to one. 

    Apple will foil for years on end to mail something and only when they are 100% certain that no one could possibly do any better, they prep the market and launch with a resounding impact. Major success and even segment redefinition follows. 

    This…is not that. 

    This is what a Microsoft or Google would do. Not Apple. Tech executive focus groups now, surrounded by manipulative upscale trimmings? Strange days. 

    Hopefully either this rumor is false - or this is one of the things Apple says no to.

    Interesting. I don’t think I could do that myself. But I personally know multiple families that have done this. The result has been stronger marriages, better relationships with and among the kids, and overall more peace and happiness. 

    My own parents did this for about 8 years. Whenever I would visit, we’d enjoy conversation, taking walks around the mountainside, playing games, and watching DVDs. Everything felt… simpler. More peaceful. Better even. 

    Then it was back to the rat race when I got home. 

    Kudos to you sir.

    The whole thing sounds very un-apple. 

    Be interesting to see how this shakes out. 

    Would be great if Apple had a sub brand to test the market with. Don’t sully the Apple brand with possible duds. 

    Heck, it would be better if it was branded Beats than Apple if this is how they’re approaching it.

    Sounds like an ill-timed, but productive visit. Certain elements in the Legislature and right wing media are sure to make hay out of it. But if you ask me, good business ties with China are super important, even in the face of recent geopolitical events. China will to be less inclined to damage their best customer.
    Lol. Do you think Russia is less inclined to damage us after we
    — gave them Ukraine’s nukes
    — gave them the USSR spot on the security council
    — shut down our own rocket engine manufacturing and made our rockets dependent on their engines
    — made them key partners in the ISS
    — let them genocide Chechnya
    — let them conquer Georgia and Moldova and Crimea
    — gave them Big Macs and iPhones

    Of course not. Dictators can’t stop themselves from attacking us. We need to be ready. Apple is making us dependent rather than ready. 
    Wow! All Russia's fault. US is the victim. Hate Russia, LOL.

    The US is very young compared to Asian countries, particularly China. Unfortunately, because they are the current "world leader", that has gone to their heads, and no other country can be as great. That's the illusion right there. World powers come and go, and have for eons. The US will lose their dominance eventually. And we can only hope that the next world power will be democratic. and more mature and advanced than the current US leadership and population.
    True only when it’s allowed to happen. Strangely, our government is now more concerned with gas stoves and air conditioners than they are with innovation, marketplace excellence and military superiority. Recipe for disaster. 
    It’s really only a certain segment obsessed with gas stoves.  Hint: it’s the same segment who are banning books.  Maybe you need to take a break from that rhetoric.  It’ll do your heart good.  
    There is no rhetoric coming from me. 

    Banning books? You mean the books with pornographic content in the libraries of schoolchildren?  And you think that’s bad? Parents across the country are confronting school boards over this. It’s everywhere. That’s not making books illegal. It’s getting them out of inappropriate places where impressionable kids can get into it and back to where adults can choose to read it or not. 

    Wow. 

    A stove or air conditioner can’t corrupt a child. Adult content can. It doesn’t belong in public schools. 

    And the air conditioner thing was reported on today. Coming from the executive branch. Federally. Not a small segment. 

    And that’s more attention than our military strength and growth is getting and more than our economy is getting. That’s not rhetoric. It’s the way it is.
