I think, to expand on your point there, you can make the general observation that there is no 'WizardNet' or usage of the internet by any wizard (as far as we know). Further still°, there is a complete lack of computer technology

I feel like a lot of the comments here blasting the technology are related to its ability to output at the hi-fidelity we are now used to on the web / mobile 3D experiences. This level of immersiveness/naturalness/fidelity wi

As Fifer says, it's a popularity issue. As a web dev, for me, it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem that relies on who is the majority that I need to support — and that's where all my energy and time go. As a result, it bec

I'm trying not to be cynical, but to me this still feels like there is a huge gap between now and scaling this into urban areas. As other commenters have pointed out, how is Amazon going to operate drone fleets in cities? Of course we

It is incredibly dangerous for Apple to begin to 'navel gaze' (look back) at its history for inspiration. Bold moves - at the helm of Jobs - used to have purpose behind them other than making their machines 'look pretty'
