  • Hot Wheels Rift Rally review: A fun fusion of AR and RC cars

    Just imagine: your new VisionPro is on your head. You're sitting in Mario Andretti's 1969 Brawner Ford Hawk, waiting for the green flag. Sound of the exhaust is near deafening, your controller is a steering wheel. Haptic motion detectors are attached to your feet for the clutch, brake and throttle. And you're off! The AI-enhanced software has the actual Indy 500 race (the only one Andretti won) programmed in, and you can see how well your driving holds up against the likes of A.J. Foyt, Mark Donohue, Bobby Unser, Gordie Johncock, and Dan Gurney. And you can enter into any open wheel or NASCAR race, against your heroes, or maybe do some heads-up drag racing in your Outlaw Street Camaro, or your rocket car (short ride: very short).

    If that wouldn't be a killer must have game for an AR headset, I don't know what is!

    Not with all the bells and whistles you describe, but you really ought to check out Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 with the PSVR2 headset! It is remarkably good with hundreds of authentic cars to race, including open wheel single seaters
    I've seen it at Best Buy, but I'm not going to put something on my face that's been used by strangers carrying who knows what pathogens, so that's not happening! Wonder how Apple stores will address this issue. Probably the same as with the headphones: pretending it's not a problem.
    Problem solved:



    No more excuses.

    Kids today have some pretty cool toys. When I see how far Hot Wheels has come since I was growing up in the 80s, I get a little jealous. 

    Lots of contrarian opinions here from jaded adults though. This isn’t for you people.

    It’s a toy. 
    Made for children.

  • Phil Schiller allegedly held back App Store review automation

    I trust the Apple App store as a direct result of Apple's caution and human software review process. If Apple cuts these safety services, and prices, I will buy less, not more. Privacy, security and trust are the main reasons I buy from Apple, not the speed of their processors, screen quality, or anything else.
    Yes. 100% agree.

    Yeah, but it’s not a utility. At all. It’s a store, ffs. There are so many holes in this guy’s little bitch fest that I don’t even know where to start. But the main takeaway is that it was just too tough for him to work under Phil, so he decided to tarnish his legacy. Class act. 

    And “radiclally improve the App Store” for whom, exactly?

  • Apple Vision Pro will let you toss timers all over your kitchen while cooking

    So for only $3,499 you can buy a kitchen timer that will what, time your cooking? Our kitchen has the OXO Good Grips Digital Triple Kitchen Timer. It cost $19.99 at WalMart. We also have timers on our stove, our microwave, our air fryer and of course our Apple Watches. None of those cost extra. They came with the equipment.

    I'm sure there are must have apps coming. This isn't one of them.
    Yeah, because everyone will be spending their $3.5k just for the timer.
