  • Apple looking at January 2023 for AR headset release, Kuo says

    amar99amar99
    After the many years of rumors for Apple to release an AR / VR headset, I do believe the recent spacial audio endeavors have been a lead up to this. Audio is in place for a visual experience to accompany it. Only question is when.

    SoftBank own ARM

    SoftBank tried to sell ARM to nVidia, a US company

    UK government said no for national security reasons

    Now SoftBank want to sell off ARM on a stock exchange

    Many stock exchanges exist around the world, US ones are often more popular for tech stocks

    Article says that the UK government may require SoftBank to use the London stock exchange, again for national security reasons

    Article also says that if a non-UK company tries to buy a controlling interest in ARM then the UK government may get involved again



    What additional context do you need?

    Thanks! I was going to leave it at that, but since you asked what other context we need, "UK government said no for national security reasons" is not self explanatory. What does that mean in this context? Are they using ARM to spy on every user and don't want to be found out? The term national security is just so over used it's difficult to know how to interpret that sentence.

    Funny that Adobe mentioned their proprietary standard PDF
    From Adobe's own website: "The PDF format is now an open standard, maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)."

    More importantly though, I wouldn't trust their many words worth a dime. Opportunist companies are jumping on the bandwagon hoping for future gazillions in profits at the expense of the private data of each and every end user. Remember, Facebook is the company who required permission to record any audio or actions in any Quest 2 experience. Don't trust this lot.
