Big bulky inefficient hot chips - thanks Intel! Their days are numbered. Failed at making radio chips, can’t figure out how to shrink the die, a big monopolistic drag on the advancement of the chip industry.

Tell me again why looting Apple Store across the US makes any sense? 

Zoom, an easy to use simple interface, good variety of setup options, runs on many platforms, reliable connections, incredible brand recognition, but ... not end to end encrypted (communications can be intercepted), Chinese owner and communications routed through Chinese servers, company is not trust worthy to those that have been following their ‘missteps’.

Most users will only look at the benefits not the cons. I’ve noticed Google has been quickly updating its service to match the usability of Zoom. Blue Jeans is a great alternative too. FaceTime needs two major changes to be a force - cross platform compatibility and functions for scheduling business video meetings - it already has the security nailed.

I enjoyed Servant, another ‘creepy’ series worth a look. That genre seems to edge out ‘feel good’ programming in popularity.

Of those (low) VR headset sales, how many are actively being used (an even lower number)? VR will primarily stay a gaming niche. As long as those bulky headsets are the norm, VR products will not succeed. AR (or a hybrid) will be the more useful of the two technologies. AR will need ‘lighter’ hardware - either more advanced phones and/or lightweight glasses and a killer app - I project something centered around a HUD and augmented maps.
