Who will deliver useful AI to the masses?
AI could be a useful tool for certain tasks, but trying to cram it into literally everything has turned the otherwise useful tool into hyper advanced spyware. Overpromising capabilities and features has lead to disappointment for corporate users who rely on accurate information and for the general user, we are now awash in AI slop. AI creativity is dull, boring, predictable and unworthy of interest accept by the dullest and most boring people who lack imagination and standards.
Apple has the right idea all along about how to approach "AI", as a tool that can streamline tedious tasks, but everyone else has been milked dry of their billions by snake oil salesmen promising the replace humans and human creativity and they're just beginning to see that they will only be met with disappointment.

Despite what you may have heard, don't write off the iMac just yet
The imac has always been an entry level computer for starters. It’s a college computer, a kids computer and office computer.Only briefly did Apple toy with the idea of maxing it out for pros and enthusiasts and it turns out most preferred a headless mac ALA mac mini or mac studio because no pro or prosumer would want to replace their monitor every time they upgrade their computer.Anyone complaining about the cables is being ridiculous. Between the mac studio or mac mini and the monitor there is ONE cable and the monitor serves as your hub. You can hide the box easily under the desk or on a shelf.Why would you complain about a 1/8” audio jack on the imac or random USB cables when you have thunderbolt? Literally every accessory at this point is available with thunderbolt or USB-C. Upgrade. You’ll be thankful you did.

Apple's 'Mother Nature' sketch was a complete dud, and didn't belong in the iPhone 15 even...
Corporate/ keynote writers are not and never have been part of the WGA William. Get your facts straight before you spout off nonsense.

Final Cut Pro said to be available for Apple Vision Pro at launch
I couldn't imagine how uncomfortable this would be at the end of a 10 hour edit day. Previewing your work perhaps, but actually editing all day? No thanks. Maybe a few edits here and there for simple social media post, but we're working on a documentary or serial for TV workflow? I have serious doubts and expect some serious caveats.

Belkin introduces new HomeKit Secure Video doorbell, new Matter-ready devices at CES 2022
Recording to your private iCloud account is one feature that grabbed my attention. Thats dope. Recording things to other peoples servers or paying monthly fees are unappealing features allot of these cameras share. I hope the rest of the package is awesome.
