  • Apple Vision Pro is surprisingly durable in first YouTube drop test

    Great!  Now I know which welding goggles to buy next time for my garage.

  • Only Apple could have made Apple Vision Pro, say firm's design chiefs

    This is Apple getting high on its own delusions.

    It's understandable but still ridiculous. 

    Anybody that thinks only 'they' could do something really needs to rethink things. 
    Perhaps it can be true if you also add the timing aspect — “today” — to the claim.

    There are many developers out there in the world, but innovation also requires mastering UX, reading the trends, seeing the future, and have the capabilities to capture all of this at the right moment in time.

    If you add those constraints, I think Apple is in a class with very few competitors. And I definitely don’t think companies like Samsung is in there. Their strengths lie somewhere else.

  • Microsoft latest to weigh in on Apple's EU App Store rules with disapproval

    What if M$ and Apple BOTH pulled out of the EU?!?  That would be awesome!  Just goto war.  Either that or Apple, Microsoft, and Google are going to have to keep funding the EU regime, with billions every year, that goes who knows where...  Just all three PULL OUT!!  And leave um to their own facilities.

    Serious, this is huge, first the EU demotes the European monarchies, changes most of the currency, lately they are trying to extort American companies...  and the EU Dictators could care less...

    How? just keep making stuff/penalties up!
    It’s fascinating how much our own experiences shape our views. There’s a whole world of perspectives out there to explore, each with something unique to offer. Have you ever lived in any of the 27 EU countries?

  • After years off Apple's App Store, 'Fortnite' will reappear in the EU

    It’s not just the App Store that’s blocking Epic. But they also lost their Apple developer license. This seems to be the main reason why they can’t continue updating Fortnite on macOS.

  • Public opinion of Apple Vision Pro is all over the place, with some calling it a glorified...

    Christina can be right about her own discomfort. Only she knows. But she is absolutely wrong when claiming that a dev kit cannot be a direct to consumer (D2C) device. It doesn’t matter how many times she claims that. The truth is immune to brainwashing. Of course a device can be both. Many devices are, and have been.

    If a dev kit is designed in a way that it is accessible and appealing to general consumers, not just professional developers, it could also be marketed as a D2C product.

    I’m not saying she is correct in qualifying this as a dev kit. I’m just saying it can be both that and a D2C device. So in essence, she’s dead wrong in her main claim.
