As with everything "normal" is more akin to average normal, but regarding our viewing into the eye, optics for viewing *into* the eye hit the anatomic limit of resolution decades and decades ago. AO is the working (but expensive) solution to photographing individual rod and cone cells, etc. (Think AO the same as earth bound telescopes looking through the atmosphere to deep space)

Essential sees no way to ship the Gem phone and is closing down
sflocal said:It's amazing that Andy Rubin is able to continue funding failures and not be in the poor house. The originator of the knockoff iOS flops again.I consider Rubin as bad as Eric Schmidt in terms of ethics.Because they raised US $330 million in VC (and still have $30 million cash on hand)I doubt Rubin put any money of his own into it, so his wealth has nothing to do with the company.Though i do have a feeling the death of Essential & drying up of buyout offers from other tech giants was directly related to the risk from the publicity of Rubin's workplace scandal. -
