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 is claiming that MR is new and that Apple is first to the m

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 netbook. Apple came out with the iPad and killed the netbook

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 wonder why it is so obvious that you are not a teacher. What

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.

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 number of digits is too large. While for practical uses mo

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 and if this works as well in real-world environments as it

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 of pedantic nitpicking is not appropriate for 3rd grader

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 with the Quest. I had a Quest but I stopped using it because

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 a big banner for a stupid app that had nothing to do with m

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 PDAs at the time of Blackberry and no one was clamoring for

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 small portable computer beyond what Blackberry provided. Nob

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 movies with friends at my place. We talk about shows we’v

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 generally not interacting with the person doing the filming. It

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 of hanging out could possibly change. The idea of being

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 it so that interacting with someone wearing the headset

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 problem in my house is that my oled TV doesn’t do well in s

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 another monitor, sound system or TV again. I doubt I’ll ever

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 barrier to interacting with what you are recording. One

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 potential defect in the user experience.

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 the the first two items but did buy iPhones. This is a simi

I don’t understand the complaint on pricing. A camcorder in 1986 cost around $1900 in today’s money and it sold well. It was far less capable, far less elegant, and far more bulky. This device is a computer, camera, MR headset, and repla

I see signs now asking for a tip in hotel rooms. Lots of tipping relies on signs. Like at the register stand where the iPad is swiveled around asking for the user to input a tip percentage. By signs I mean things like you mentioned nudging

That’s interesting to hear. I traveled extensively in the 80s with my family and we never tipped and there were never sign suggesting a tip as far as I can remember. My tip is that I always leave the do not disturb sign on my door handle

It’s interesting that you say, traditionally have been subject to tips , and mention hotel housekeeping. This was not common until relatively recently. I never tip hotel housekeeping since I grew up with it not being normative. I wonder

It is slightly different in a better way. You can interact, engage and otherwise participate in events while recording using the headset than you can with a camcorder or phone. I'm guessing, but obviously don't know, that Apple
