My concerns are around the normalization of pointing high-resolution cameras at people around you all the time. Perhaps this specific device may have a company behind it that, at least at the moment, will resist handing the video feed with you in it to the data brokers. Make no mistake though, the data brokers are foaming at the mouth to get access to high-resolution constantly-streaming video content that includes y…

Why does Apple insist on putting all the content into a little box? I want whatever I'm playing to FILL the viewing area. Likewise with trying to work, which is indeed another huge potential benefit to this thing as plane travel becomes more and more customer-hostile. Reviews I've read reported that it's tedious to try to work with the puny virtual Mac screen. Also, Apple's fear of I/O has crippled the Vision Pro. If…

Taking a flight as an opportunity to indulge in a moment of blissful idleness is great... on a three-hour flight. But on a 14-hour trans-continental flight, you've gotta have something to do. If nothing else, to distract you from how uncomfortable it is to be effectively confined to your seat + a few feet of narrow walkway for that long. That's more confined than a prison cell!
