Look for an Apple Vision for holiday 2024. Likely no cameras on the front, no 4k, 1080p using current Sony micro LED liquid retina or some new buzzword. Plastic, polycarbonate frame. No extra straps or charger. Runs the full catalog of vison pro apps. Starting at $1,999. You heard it here first.

"One thing I know from my years as a market researcher and my time working at Apple during the Jobs era, is that the vast majority of users won't pay money for flashy new tech that doesn't add something useful to their lives" www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone...

It’s been three days in Kiryat Gate listening to the distant thunder of rockets landing. Women, children, the infirm are being slaughtered but this time in history those who perpetrated these acts will discover Jewish blood is not free & carries a steep cost.

I’m in Kiryat Gat at the moment, spent most of the day on the mamad amidst the rockets. Quiet this morning but that just means they’re shelling Tel Aviv. New Grandsons Bris is Wed. Waiting to hear if mohel was called up.

90% of people equally served by either platform. Coke or Pepsi. Boring is also ok. Camry's are boring too but folks love them. It's just Apple losing role as innovator IMHO. What's your use cases?

Apple's iPhone 15 is boring. Google and Samsung Android phones are far more innovative. It’s just that simple IMHO. www.businessinsider.com/iphone-15-fe...

I can place icons anywhere on my Home Screen. Not locked into some crazy grid. I can even change my home launcher. I can add apps that aren’t on Google Play, I can run emulators, I can change the default app for everything. I could go on. Oh wait, also emulators for old consoles.

It’s good to see Apple driving the industry forward with standard as they did with the first iMac and USB… wait, what?

iOS works the Apple wants me to work. I find Android lets me work the way *I* want to work.

Using iOS 17 reminds me of an old girlfriend. Very pretty to look at but frustrating because she insisted things be done her way or not at all. As you figured, we broke up.

The Allen iPhone comes with USB C, because Apple has a commitment to lead the market in standards such as this. Please ignore the higher prices.

For the first time in more than a decade, not going to live post Apple event. It's going to be an iPhone. The best iPhone Apple has ever made. It will come in stunning colors. It's amazing & we can't wait to see what you do with it.

The good news is we finally stopped seeing nonsense articles about how NFTs are the next big thing and everyone should invest. Unfortunately, those have been replaced with how AI is going to destroy humanity in the next 5 years, after it takes everyone's jobs.

If researching this stuff wasn't part of my job I just delete all of these things and just post here. The idea of meaningful engagement on three or more services doesn't seem possible or desirable.

I was an early IG user and just posted my food pictures there which were then cross posted to Twitter. Then came Zuck and I deleted my account (along with Facebook). So I joined threads where I will just describe what my good looks like but not lost pictures.

It's probably as good a time as any for Zuckerberg to try and copy the features of some other services and integrate into his own. But seriously? Does the world really want a Facebook/Twitter? Talk about the possibility of giving us the worst of both worlds in one single application

I said this a year ago elsewhere, but I’ll say it again here: It's impossible to overstate how much the big tech CEOs & VCs are being radicalized within their bubble. The level of paranoia & contrived victimization is off the charts, and they increasingly only consume media that they have funded.

It's my favorite little fact about Coronado! Also there's a very odd little placard in the Hotel Del stating that he claims to have designed the crown-shaped chandeliers in the Crown Room (where Ozma was crowned in the books!) but that they've since been replaced with bigger ones lol. I feel like

Went to Oz last night (the San Diego city of Coronado, where L. Frank Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and a bunch of other Oz books. He patterned the Emerald City after the Hotel Del Coronado, some of which is visible in the background)

Last night's full moon rising over a beach. The silhouettes of people are visible against the moonlight and its reflection in the water and wet sand. Lighted buildings are visible in the background.

Doing some very anecdotal research here but please help me out. Are you aware of any K-12 school (or school system) that uses iPads as a primary student computing device? If not, what do they use. Tks.
