  • Apple & Goldman Sachs abandoned plans for a Robin Hood-like stock trading app

    "Apple was concerned about user backlash if investments lost money with the assistance of a software product developed by Apple."

  • Rumor: iPhone 15 USB-C cable limited to USB 2.0 speeds, has no MFi

    Perhaps it will transfer at USB 2.0 speeds when not connected to a Thunderbolt port.

    HoloLens does not use holography. If it's "holographic" as Microsoft advertises (and the press regurgitates unchallenged), it's only in the limited sense of simulating the experience of viewing holographic imagery. The technology used is stereoscopic vision. To someone who knows what holography is, calling HoloLens holographic is (euphemistically speaking) inaccurate.
    No claim that it does was made in this piece. It's mostly a stereoscopic Pepper's Ghost effect.
    What appears to be a Microsoft advertisement is reproduced in the article. Quoting from therein: "An ergonomic, untethered self-contained holographic device..." [emphasis added].
    Okay? I didn't say it was a hologram, and MS can say what they want about it. The pricing on the HoloLens was the point.
    False advertising isn't "okay." I know what your point was, but I also saw the use of "holographic" in the reproduced ad. That was my point. I'm sorry it took a second post for you to see it, but that's how insidious false information can be when it's not checked.
