Is Word ported to those other devices you mentioned? Will Netflix ever have a native app for those devices? Do they have an intuitive, easy to use interface? I don’t think anyone i…

The iPad did replace a category of laptops. At the time the iPad came out netbooks were popular and it was believed by many that Apple was in trouble because they didn’t have a net…

It’s not an ad hominem. It’s a polite way to suggest that you don’t know what you are talking about when it comes to teaching concepts to kids. I think it’s worth your while to won…

I think you missed that my comment was about explaining something to third graders or don’t understand what it means to explain something to people in that age group.

I think you don’t tech professionally.

A computer can’t display more digits than the number of particles in the observable universe. This is a finite number. As such it is correct to say that computers struggle if the n…

Meta can churn out high quality screens as well as Apple, for a price. But they didn’t. The more compelling angle is how they have nailed the interface with eye and hand tracking a…

Thanks for the head’s up.

Obviously I know this. As stated, in 3rd grade parlance it’s appropriate to say “they struggle”. Have you ever heard someone say, “I need a new computer; mine’s dying.”? This level…

In third grade parlance it is correct to say computers struggle with too many digits.

I’ve taught math at the college level for 25 years. The video looked impressive. Do you know up to what level of math it does?

Just having a higher resolution alone has made Apple Vision worth talking about. By all accounts I’ve read it’s very impressive. The interface is much better on the Vision than wit…

News, AppleTV (the tv app, not the device), and the app store and Maps. The app store is understandable but I search for my very local bank’s app and at the top of the results was …

The internet existed in the 90s so referencing Doom is not apt as it pertains to my statement that before the internet no one clamored for online gameplay. There was a market for P…

I like Ford’s statement: If I asked people what they wanted they’d have said faster horses. Before the iPhone people had phones and iPods and laptops. Nobody was clamoring for a sm…

As stated, it does replace TVs for my household. Two headsets would replace two TVs, 2 sound bars, 1 monitor. When friends come over we play board games or hangout. I don’t watch m…

A person recording on a phone is not participating in the event. They are, for the most part, observing. Others may be able to see their expressions and whatnot but they are genera…

No. When friends are over we play board games or hangout. If the device becomes as ubiquitous as phones or laptops then people will likely watch movies together apart. The concept …

I said, appearing transparent . Presumably, it’s been tested and Apple has found it’s not a repeat of the glasshole experience. Clearly they’ve put a lot of time and effort to make…

I think a person can relax on the couch with the headset. Cuddling is an issue. I would much rather use the headset than a TV. For one, I can resize the screen as I see fit. One pr…

Yes, that is true. My wife and I are childless. We could buy two of these devices and immediately get rid of our two TVs, sound system, and monitor. I don’t think I’ll ever buy ano…

I think this headset has a clear use case. For one, it’s a way better recording device than what currently exists. With the headset appearing transparent it will not be too much of…

The people who designed it, built it, and tested it have used it for an extended period of time. It would be un Apple like if they decide to ship a product with such a well known p…

I think the noise cancelling will come from AirPods. If they can pull off noise cancelling from the headset alone that would be quite impressive.

I think your view is too narrow and short sighted. The tech elite had Blackberries, iPods, and laptops when the iPhone came out and didn’t want to re-buy them. They didn’t rebuy th…
