Announced during an Apple earnings call. Surprise surprise. EDIT: same time as the earnings, not the actual call. But still.

Most of the comments here say they only use the FB app for messaging, and they won't install another app. Why is this Messenger app the 'another' one, when the main app clearly doesn't fit your usual use case? I've

Jon Rubenstein had plenty of conflict with him (via the Jobs and Ive biographies), and Tony Fadell as well [1]. [1] http://www.cultofmac.com/262334/feud-jony-ive-keep-tony-fade...

I'm pretty similar to the poster, and after majoring in poly sic, spending a few years in sales, have moved in project management with a side of product management. Trying to move more in product, which can sometimes get more technical

My wife and I often watch in bed (bad for the circadian, we know) with an iPad, so the accelerometer would work great.

This will eventually (hopefully?) get integrated into Glass, and provide that kind of HUD some have been waiting for.

At this stage in this new product category, the design of the actual glasses is so irrelevant. What matters is how big the required hardware is, the tech specs of said hardware, and the UI/UX within the user's vision. I'd say

Man the banner ads on this blog are jarring. Guess he could just live off all the ad revenue that's sure to be rolling in from those, right?

This solution in this particular case also reduces the wasted space of the hero image across the top. Given FB's poor content, it is usually a stupid meme or some blurry cell-phone pic that was posted 2 days ago. Or maybe that's j

The retina iPads are higher resolution, color-calibrated and likely higher quality panels then the big screen you're talking about. And you can easily use high-quality headphones to get quality sound out of them as well. Maybe not surr

No oxford comma: 'keyboard and mouse' are one entry in the list.

Everyone is comparing this to Snapchat or Twitter, but what about FB Messenger? Competing with another Facebook entity, but I guess FB wins either way now?

Thanks, but I just got the invitation anyways. Excited to try it out!

If I've already requested access, will that form help me get in sooner?

Why does he say "really successful" in the title, if it doesn't even break even? EDIT: Must be the traffic, but these days that's not (that) impressive if there's no revenue model around it. That said, I'd love

$8 is for a band only. To get the little bluetooth vibrating delay you'd need to drop $39.

Agreed. Getting very sick of products only being explained in a video. Sometimes I can't/don't want to view a video, just tell me, in simple copy, what I'm looking at!

Considering the battery they need to power that hardware, while getting that battery life, getting it that thin is a big deal.

"While most just forget, the rest think they know better." And they're clearly correct, as the planes don't crash, no one scolds them for causing delays or equipment to malfunction. The planes take off and land just fine

You're arriving before the light arrives, not before it leaves. The light takes a certain amount of time to travel that distance: you take less time, not negative time.

Aren't bigger sensors generally better quality when it comes to cameras? 41mp in a tiny sensor is lousy, those pixels need to be big enough to capture quality light.

Looks nice, but in action it's rather dizzying. It's like the stars move up, then start going back down, then back up again. Very disorienting.
