  • Apple playing chess, while others play checkers in march to $3 trillion

    The difference between a million and a billion

    One million seconds = 11.5 days
    One billion seconds = 31.7 years
    One trillion seconds = 3,154 years

    For a person making a decent salary of $100K/year, making 10 million isn’t likely in their lifetime. 
    Nice example but you only got 1 out of 3 right:
    1 million seconds = 114 days
    1 trillion seconds = 31,709 years

    So the leap from billion to trillion seconds would make your point even more so.

  • 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

    cg27cg27
    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.

  • Inside Apple Irvine Spectrum Center retail store: The new Silicon Valley

    cg27cg27
    Did the Irvine Chamber of Commerce help write this extremely long ad?

    Irvine is nice and all, but also very cookie cutter and boring, without much soul.

    The places to live and visit are the coastal OC cities.  They have downtowns, beaches, nightlife, character, pedestrians, ocean breeze, ….

  • New HomePod vs 2018 HomePod - compared

    So my new LG TV with built-in AppleTV app wouldn’t work with HomePods unless I hookup an AppleTV?
