  • Even with so many demonstrated use cases, Apple Vision Pro might not yet have a purpose

    As an engineer, working in a manufacturing environment, I can see this for putting things together, like this:


    I realize this v0.3, but we also had command line computers before the Mac.

  • Apple Back to School deals could start on Tuesday

    With the kids getting out of school this week, I'll be excited to tell them about this "Back to School" sale!

    They'll thank me for it, I'm sure.

  • 'Ted Lasso' stars aren't ruling out more from AFC Richmond in the future

    I for one, would love to see a follow up where we see the creation of the Richmond women’s team. I think having it coached by Nathan Shelly would make for some wonderfully awkward interactions. And may be a relationship between Jamie tart and a member of the women’s team. 
    Now am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that Ted didn’t show up to Coach Beard’s wedding?
    Because it happened on Ted’s flight home?

    That was a weird follow on, but yeah, that was interesting.

    Also…
    I thought Nate’s redemption story fizzled out.  He went from equipment guy to head coach to unemployed, back to equipment guy.  I thought he’d at least come back as an assistant coach, but I do like your idea of him coaching the Women’s team.

    Other thoughts:
    Roy Kent and his niece’s teacher
    Keely and a “normal guy” - just a normal guy that catches her eye
    Exploring Rebecca’s relationship with the airline pilot and his daughter - explaining how he flies and has his daughter… did the mother and him split up, or is he a widower?

  • Apple's AR headset, new MacBook Air -- what to expect from WWDC 2023

    I vote for:
    macOS 14: Cuyamaca
    Jacumba
    Siskiyou
    Port Hueneme
    Cudahy
    Tuolumne
    Suisun City
    Ojai
    Otay Mesa
    Tulare
    El Cajon
    Jamul
    Jamacha
    Olivenhain
    Poway
    Rancho Peñasquitos
    Los Angeles (yes, there are at least 3 ways to pronounce that one...)

    La Jolla is too easy, because it's been popular too long.  
    I vote for “Alpine.”
    I’ll take it, but I think that Otay Mesa will be said like they’re rhyming with OK.

  • Apple's headset will need killer apps & services to be successful

    SpaceTime - where you can be with your beloveds far away. 
    Fitness+, together with the coach - perhaps they already filmed their exercises in VR?
    Travel the world for the movement impaired.
    Nice start!
    • Facial Recognition (AR app) to give you the name of the person you're talking to
    • Driving Assist (AR app) to use proximity sensors in your car to alert you of traffic
    • Instructions for Assembly (AR app) to show people how to put things together.  I think IKEA might be a forward thinker on this.
    • Visicalc (VR app) for using huge spreadsheets where turning your head helps you get all of the numbers seen
    • Any type of simulator (AR/VR app)  Some types of simulators make people nauseous when fully immersed, but an AR app would help by letting people see the real world for "grounding"
    • Baseball Hitting (AR/VR app) - get timing of virtual ball hitting bat, to make players better

    I think the killer app, to get this thing going had better be good.  Solitaire in Windows 3 just kept people looking at Windows, and is easy to learn, fun to play, and the bouncing cards was the "win".  These glasses need something like that, just to keep people playing it "one more time".
