    "... and the first device Apple users see through ..."

    I could see through my graphite G3 iMac SE. Following this evidence to conclusions utilizing Standard Interwebs Logic:

    My iMac is similarly advanced;

    The Vision Pro will be a great success.

  • Nearly every Apple top exec is working on the AR headset

    I don't think the majority of the public care about AR/VR. It will just be another product some people will buy. Its no great inovation or world sharttering tech. Techno heads will buy it up as they do with anything new, whether it's useful; or not! That most likley is not what Apple fanatics want to hear but it is what it is.

    This comment was posted on a story when first iPod announced, I think on this site:

    Toooooo expensive piece of crap!!!
    I said the Cube was overpriced and should cost $1200, this piece of Sh... should cost no more than $90.

    Apple is selling a bunch of overpriced things like the TiBook that won't be resellable for more than $1300 in less than 6 month because it is not upgredable.

    This iPod is for spoil rich kids with insane parents or an Apple fan as fannatic as a Taliban. It has good features but forget about getting it for $399!!!! Never, who gets that thing is a very stupid person.

    Steve Jobs is under terrible consuling or is under too much pot. This propusal is not realistic at all. If Apple does something like this again is going down. 

    This unit may work for an audio engeneer to record some conference or rock band on the field in place of buying a expensive DAT machine, that is the only real good market this machinne is gonna have.

    During the keynote, Cook will show a $2,999 slide, then have $499 plummet from heavens to smash it but good.

  • How Steve Jobs saved Apple with the iMac 27 years ago

    Loved the Pixar lamp iMacs.

    But the  best iMac I ever had was the G5. It was designed to be repairable and upgradable by the owner.  Noisy though. and the first intel that replaced it was basically unrepairable. This situation did not improve until about 2010. It still wasn’t easy, but you could do it. After that forget it.

    My G5 was worst ever. After about 10 trips to shop (45 minutes away), Apple replaced it two years in under Apple Care with Intel model, which lasted for years. I think I read bad capacitors were a culprit in G5 failures, although pernt near ever part of machine was replaced. Weirdest issue was it slept on its own; if I let it sleep a while, I could use it for a spell before it slept again; if I immediately woke it, it slept within seconds. Freak show.
