  • Apple adds 'realityproOS' to list of potential VR headset trademarks

    Why does this sight keep using a render of snorkelling goggles to show “a render of potiential Apple headset?” This was the first image ever posted about the upcoming headset, years ago and it is ridiculous. If apple releases a headset like this, fish everywhere will be using VR!
    I agree…this render is almost a meme by now. But it’s not just here. Every article or blog post out there are using the same 1-2 images. Search “Augmented Reality” in Apple News, select the Top Result and scroll down to see what I mean.

  • No one can agree on what the Apple VR Headset will cost to make

    I don’t care about estimates of cost to build the headset. I am only interested in how much it will cost to buy one and the level of functionality it will provide. 

    So far none of the VR/AR product out there provide any real benefit for the “average user”. We will see how Apple does with this. 
    "We will see" is pretty accurate. I'm not enthusiastic about this product. Based on the rumors at comparable points in time, I was exactly the opposite on the iPad and Apple Watch. 

    I don't want a headset. I want an Airport. If Apple announced a comparable mesh system with a built in VPN, I'd pay $1000 and sign up for a $50/yr VPN from them. 
    I’m completely with you on this. In my dream scenario, they would add AirPort technology to HomePods and Apple TV’s, giving them extra value as mesh satellites and only requiring a new base station to tie everything together.

    I think it's wonderful that LGBTQ+ people are now able to legally live their real lives. When I was born in 1951, what we now call alternate lifestyles were mostly against the law. Here in Chicago the police regularly raided gay bars and beat the crap out of people before arresting them and putting them in lockup for the sin of not hiding in a closet. Even Texas (TEXAS!) is "considering" the repeal of their "Sodomy Law" enacted in 1973, which was voided as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2003. But at the same time, the forces of bigotry and intolerance are gaining traction in every red state, especially Florida. And Texas.

    So get one. Wear it with pride. Just maybe not everywhere. Lot of homophobes with guns out there.
    I’m sure they are all elated to have your support. Never one to let an opportunity to virtue signal pass you by, eh? Do real world people ever tell you that you say cringey things? Asking for a friend. 

    It is a nice band, though.

    I’m glad everyone is ok, but isn’t this one of the reasons why you should always check into the nearest Ranger station before heading into an unfamiliar area? It’s just basic common sense.
