    Meta has been ridden by one scandal after another. So what else is new? 
    This is a bad/unprofessional even given all the past Facebook scandals.

  • Meta's Orion preview shines a light on Apple's spatial computing future

    This is probably the most sarcastic article I've read in apple insider and I've read a few d.e.d. rants :wink:. While vision pro is a released product by your own admission its not going anywhere currently. And despite the dorky look Orion looks to be an impressive engineering feat. I am never going buy a meta hardware for the 'said' reasons, but Zuck has a lot more determination and focus than Google ever did.

  • M4 Mac mini rumored to get a redesign making it smaller than ever before

    What would be the 24" - 27" monitor of choice to pair this with these days? Anything out there remotely as good as an iMac display but less expensive than a Studio monitor?
    Back in the spring when I realized there would be no new Macs at WWDC, I bought a refurbished m2 pro Mac mini to replace my 27 inch iMac. 

    I initially bought a Dell monitor to go with it, thinking it was a great deal relative to the Apple studio display. I was horrified by it. It looked so much worse than my iMac when I saw them side by side. I sent back the Dell and shelled out the money for the Apple. The web cam is as poor as reviews say, but the most important thing by far is the display quality. 

    Maybe Apple will make a less expensive 24 inch display….

    Dell monitors always seemed a little washed out to me. May be I haven't looked at great dell monitors. But there are plenty of excellent samsung/LG monitors.

  • iPhone Fold - what the rumor mill thinks is on the way, and when

    What are the compelling reasons the Vision Pro have to exist?
    All the more reason apple wouldn't/shouldn't be doing one more of those...

  • iPhone Fold - what the rumor mill thinks is on the way, and when

    It still needs a compelling reason to exist.   I don’t see the existing foldable phones providing some key use case that is significantly compelling to justify the added complexity and compromise.  Bendable displays, in terms of entirely folding over, may just remain a solution in search of a problem. 

    Agree on the Fold. But flip is a different beast. I think there is a compelling use case for it if they can solve the engineering problems.
