Where do people even see these ads? I assume Qualcomm was preaching to the choir at one of their events?  Don't give 'em any air elsewhere and no one will ever know about them outside of the attendees.

DOA until it becomes a pair of sunglasses. 

No one wants to wear a helmet  just to compute. 

The experience is not much different than meta quest as-is. 

Apple basically saw the quest, then spec’s higher, but also went backward with the brick battery that you have to carry around separately. Big whoop. 

As sunglasses, it’s much more the Apple ethos of getting out of the way of your life. 

Most folks carry a phone out of habit. Most weat shades as a habit. Most wear a watch, etc. 

no body suctions a face-hogging, head-strapping thing on their face/head outside of scuba divers. It’s annoying, cumbersome, takes you out of your every day life and can really only be enjoyed in bursts. Not as a continuum of your daily life. That’s why it fails. 

Black pencil or no, it’s not a success. 

Let’s see how that fares once it’s distilled into shades. I’m betting that’s a whole new paradigm. 

What you are describing is not VR. It’s not possible to have VR with a pair of sunglasses. It’s not possible to have VR without the complete sealing out of external light.

Nonsense. The avp forces your face into vr always. Even what looks like pass through is video. 

Nobody want to wear scuba gear suctioned to their faces just to compute. 

It’s a much better solution to have an optional 9 but included) surround for your shades to rest in when you wants to go full VR. And you can remove when you don’t want to be isolated. Sure beats being stuck inside a helmet whether you want isolated VR or not. I imagine most will ne in XR most of the time as it is. 

Shades (with detachable surround) or helmet. Each has trade offs. One is clearly easier to live with. I’m thinking shades fits the mold of getting out of the way and blending with daily life a million times better.

DEI is a sham and waste of money. 

Hire the most qualified applicants and reap the rewards. 

It’s really that simple. 

And yet a lot of smart and successful people think that it's not. They think that having a diversity of viewpoints and life experiences among their employees is a strength.

Diversity is great. But so is Unity. That’s strength. 

Humans are by nature diverse in appearance and viewpoints. You don’t need a DEI department to create the talent pool. It’s already there. All you do is hire the best out of interested humans. It’s really that simple. Real life 101. If that means the more qualified person is not the preferred skin color, so be it. 

Heck, some of these dei department heads are blatantly racist, posting crazy anti-white garbage all over social media. They think DEI means “not white” when white people contribute to diversity, deserve equity, and should be included as well. 

I’ve worked at hewlett-packard, ATT, Verizon, and a number of enterprises and diversity was never lacking. No one needs a  DEI department. It’s literally a waste of money. Affirmative action was ruled illegal. DEI is the exact same thing. Just wearing different clothes.

Summary of the Conversation:

Activist Judge: "How can you justify making more profits than companies barely scraping by?"

Apple: "We seek to be here 10-20 years from now and therefore seek the profits necessary to achieve that."

Activist Judge: "I personally think you should make only profit necessary to barely remain in business, and I honestly don't care what your investors think."
