  • Apple still has a lot of secret apps for Vision Pro in the works

    You bet they do!  How can they not.

    In a few years there will be many compelling use cases by both Apple and outside developers.

    Anyone who thinks otherwise is shortsighted.

  • Up close and hands on with Apple Vision Pro at Apple Park

    Seems it would be better to have the option to use the Digital Crown on an AppleWatch rather than raise your hand to the headset’s Digital Crown.

  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    This is a game changer.

    Can’t wait to be immersed in SCUBA scenes, space odyssey scenes, intense gaming, all with spatial sound - will be incredible.

    Couple with a zero gravity chair and you’ll float away.

    And for VanLifers and RV folks this will provide a level of entertainment and productivity not possible in their small confines.

    Seems EyeSight is completely unnecessary for most use cases and therefore will be axed in future versions, not unlike the TouchBar on MacBook Pros.

  • Aqara G4 Video Doorbell review: The best wireless doorbell with HomeKit Secure Video

    Seems compelling once the bugs are hopefully ironed out.

    No mention of Thread / Matter support.  Even if neither is offered, it should be mentioned in this review, as well as any review of HK accessories going forward.

    Amazon’s $120 price is without the Aqara hub.  If you don’t already have the hub then the bundle price with hub is around $165 as there appears to be at least three Aqara hub bundle versions; so it would be nice for the review to mention which specific hub model they used.

    What’s also not clear to me yet is whether the Aqara hub is necessary if hardwiring the doorbell and WiFi is strong to doorbell (since the review is based on battery power and mentions the hub alleviating SecureVideo battery drain).  I assume the hub is required even with hardwiring, but not totally certain.

  • Apple Original 'Napoleon' will see theatrical release in November

    I wonder if Scott used any of Kubrick’s prodigious library on Napoleon, once thought to have been the most exhaustive collection of Napoleonic history (pre-internet of course).  It’s disappointing Kubrick couldn’t make his Napoleon movie, opting/resorting to make Barry Lyndon instead; a terrific film (which the French love).
