If Apple was actually serious about gaming it would set up its own studio and buy a killer game, make it apple silicon exclusive, then start writing follow ups itself, all written and operating natively in metal.  Exactly same strategy as Microsoft did with the originally Mac OS developed Halo to get people to buy Xbox.

I would regard that as just as important as the Linux approach suggested by Mr Snively.  

Apple  would probably also need to have Apple silicon able to do ray tracing.

Agreed on all of the above! Sadly I don’t see Apple doing any of this. They’ll pay lip service to gaming without doing what’s actually needed to make the Apple ecosystem a serious gaming environment.

I really like WaterField’s leather products and own a leather holster from them for my iPhone. So I was pretty excited to see this item. Seems like a great fit. Then I got to the price. $79 for a small bag that’s made out of nylon is too much. I’m more than willing to pay a premium for their leather products. But nylon is a cheap material, not worth paying more than maybe $50 for something like this in my opinion.

For some insight into the personality and inspiration of Elon Musk, please read this biography of Nikola Tesla. "Tesla: Man Out Of Time." The only difference is the money.

Except for one HUGE difference: Tesla was an actual genius who could grasp advanced concepts and actually was responsible for some incredible inventions. Musk hasn’t invented a single thing. He’s bought his way into everything he takes credit for. Literally, not a single one of his “successes” is something that he himself invented or created.

It’s almost like he deliberately wants to destroy the service…

Spot-on. I have yet to see any hugely compelling reason to switch from my simple (and inexpensive) Roku to an appletv. Nothing about it justifies the increased cost to me. And yeah, the interface, with each provider providing their own interface paradigm, is a jumbled mess.
