So weāve got Dumbest Thing of All Time vs. Game Changer on the apple VR. I guess weāll see. Iām going with Game Changer because itās the most cynical and no one wants to live in this world.

All I know is that within a couple of months someone will try to drive with one on.

If this thing really records 3d video of peopleās kids and plays it back, once people see this that alone will be hugely compelling.
Also the airplane example was massive.
Remember that the gen 1 iPhone couldnāt do anything, cost $600 at a time when every other phone was free and was locked to one tiny carrier.
Take 15 min and remind yourself.

LMAO, Chasten is out on book tour.
Heh, probably. Heās only 5ā8" ish? He didnāt tower over me.
Which is an excellent segue into what I came here to actually post about. Was excited to present a certificate today to San Diegoās first Jeniās Ice Cream shopā¦until I discover the manager is a fucking GIANT that makes it (and me) look utterly ridiculous. Not to mention I couldnāt keep a straight faceā¦
Feel free to laugh. I did

Has the WSJ figured out how to keep articles off https://archive.ph/ ? Iāve been trying to get the one below and it seems blocked somehow. I only can get a 404 page
Skipping a bunch of posts but Apple has always been a cult for people who like overpriced/underperforming garbage. $3500 wonāt be a roadblock for a lot of people purchasing this. Honestly it seems like Apple finally realizing it themselves. Do we really think people wouldnāt pay 2k for the newest Iphone that most mostly underperforms all of other top tier phones?

Overpriced yes. Underperforming no (or prove me wrong).
Most expensive iphone 14 costs about the same as the most expensive Galaxy S23ā1.1K,
Samsung has led Apple in almost every meaningful category for a decade. Photo/video quality, battery, charging, etc. I think Apple has caught up some recently but ya. Owning an Apple phone was largely 1-2 years behind Samsung every step of the way.
Yeah it doesnāt seem to work on the archive sites. Other WSJ articles do still work. Iām shocked archive.ph has worked so well for so long on major sites.
This link works:
Palm OS, Windows mobile, symbian and blackberries were out like 6 years before the iPhone.

Iām with Clovis on this one. Itāll take a few years to get the price down and the use cases normalized, but if nothing else, Apple is going to add more billions to their balance sheet with this.

And the iphone with the full touch screen killed all of them.
Everyone has a smartphone, only business nerds had palm pilots and blackberries.
