    Citing an article that is 1.5 years old? Ignored

      actually, I think you're missing out by ignoring that article. 'technology ... is “not really what we’re ultimately going to be shipping,” but that his company’s prototypes were good for showing investors and others' Unlike Theranos, Magic Leap has received investment from people with knowledge in the industry, so I think it is less smoke and mirrors than Theranos, but similar in that they are doing a big promotion on technology that is not ready yet. I'm not going to call it vaporware, and I don't think Tharanos was vaporware either, but they were selling to investors and their customers a product that didn't exist as they had sold it.
