I mean I haven't held it but how is a Sapper-esque stoic black rectangle bad or ugly? Only thing unappealing about it to me is the logo

Doesn't this predate Shazam? Isn't it more a case that Shazam is WhatTheFont for music?

Who really loses out in this scenario though? It sure as hell isn't going to be Nvidia who hold all the cards as far as CUDA based computing goes. People who want to use this tech will go where the tech is, people even switch away from

I feel TF2 has a place in peoples hearts so it keeps getting wheeled out in this debate way more times than it's deserved these days (especially considering Valve compromised both the art direction and coherence in recent years). All 3

Try it in a few more apps it's the choice of the app dev so basically random. Not that a user should have to know "only enter your password into the black keyboard", which can also be faked mind.

Technology Will Save Us ship a similar product that is more gender neutral if anyone is interested. Actually think in this space the norm is actively going gender neutral.

Sad that I hear something complained about on certain Apple podcasts and that little qualm of that host is fixed magically a release or two later while real users are ignored.

Quicktime 7 is one of the first things I install on a new mac because it still opens a bunch of files and does things that Quicktime X cannot. Quicktime X can't even open a plain .mov file without "Converting" it.

Too many product managers these days who don't actually understand or engage with the product and instead think they can create from reading metrics tea leaves alone.

Not sure why the article needed that smug condescending tone, not everyone is a tech blogger who upgrades their phone every year, plenty of people are still using sub iPhone 7 devices which as the article states DID include a radio hardware

Someone there has some kind of vision, doesn't mean it's a good one but there was a definite attempt to shove most MBP customers into using iPad Pro and the Mac Pro line probably only survived by a very slim margin. It's pret

Am I the only one sceptical about if these scores actually translate to true computing power? If these things can outperform on passive cooling why are we not seeing people building farms out of them with active cooling.

This and TiltBrush are the only reasons I'm considering a headset at all, tried 3D sculpting unsuccessfully in 2D so would love to try it in 3D. Medium looks excellent but yeah not amazing enough to outweigh being owned by FB. Still pr

My comment obviously implied adding the sensors to make it work, Surface Laptops use IR as well as far as I know... My point is more that why make a big deal about shipping dead tech to the laptop if this truly is what they consider the fut

Why add Touch ID to the laptop range which already had cameras when you're going to remove it from your next phone. Could have just made the laptop camera up to scratch for this like Surface books are. I feel we're being sold a co
