  • Beeper Mini promises blue speech bubbles for Android users

    This whole blue bubble, green bubble thing has gone on long enough. It used to be absurd, but now it’s just pathetic. How vacant and shallow must one’s life be in order to be so affected by text bubble colors.

  • Apple TV+ may bundle with Paramount+ to cut subscriber losses

    JapheyJaphey
    This article made me realize I haven’t watched anything on Paramount in months. 

    So I just gave it the axe. 
    Thanks AI!

    Maybe it’s just me, but I feel a bit liberated every time I cancel a streaming service.

  • Controversial Humane Ai Pin is here, costs $700, and requires a subscription

    Well, this is interesting. 

    Unless they are too early, this is an obvious winner - productivity wise likely better than iPhone which is amazing. 

    In terms of entertainment, it's clearly worse, you r Tik Tok videos won't look so good rendered by green lasers. But... it's not for that. 

    Computers have become way too complex - AI with voice recognition offers a way out of that morass - the only visible way out. 

    We've already thought of all the clever UI elements we could put on screens, but the complexity keeps growing. I am an engineer and I think the number of options in iPhone settings is ridiculous. There's way too much going on, nobody has time or the mind to learn all that. Add to this blockchain it gets even worse. 

    This device is super impressive in terms of battery and power

    And how it is to be used - the biggest hurdle - has already been shown in like 1000s of episodes of SciFi shows and movies, Star Trek and others. We know how to use this. 

    Apple should be extremely worried, this is exactly the kind of thing that will kill them in the long term. Because Apple makes so much money from iPhone, it won't be easy to jump on this tech. 

    I hope they don't sell out - this startup is epic, and I did not expect to say this after the headline. But that is really cool stuff and the obvious direction computing is going in the future. 
    I’m curious why you think Apple should be “extremely worried”?  If these are successful, Apple will just make one of their own. Or acquire the company. Both of these scenarios are more likely in the long term than the possibility of a start-up killing the largest corporation on the planet over a wearable pin.

  • A lament for the Touch Bar

    JapheyJaphey
    I never got the chance to try out the Touch Bar, but I always thought it would make more sense on the Magic Trackpad.
