Continuity camera wouldn’t work for me today either
BobBeach
16:10:48
Yes I updated my phone but not my MacBook could be the reason
BobBeach
16:12:44
His t shirt looks glossy!
patrice
16:13:58
I swear.. Jeff was about to say "the American Tech Network Mac Show"
ChuckJ
16:14:23
Dave has waxed his shirt! What's next???
BobBeach
16:24:05
We don’t want to lose your dulcet tones JeffG
JeffG
16:24:20
You're so sweet, Bob
BobBeach
16:25:29
I want to try it just to see what it sounds like 😀
BobBeach
16:28:51
Could you ask them questions so that their answers are what you need them to say!
patrice
16:29:56
no.. the sentences are not exactly answers to questions you could ask @BobBeach
BobBeach
16:31:36
Exactly. Every technology is potentially able to be misused
BobBeach
16:33:48
Economists ask do the social benefits outweigh the costs
BobBeach
16:34:59
Costs are measured as opportunity costs ie benefits foregone
ChuckJ
16:35:29
And so many people don't seem to understand the "opportunity costs" concepts.
BobBeach
16:37:19
Can you turn the work
BobBeach
16:37:38
World greyscale?
BobBeach
16:47:11
I do think this is a riskier product for Apple than its other innovations
benroethig
16:47:25
absolutley
patrice
16:47:53
It's also a way bigger deal if this succeeds than any of the previous products
BobBeach
16:48:30
Bigger than the iPhone? Not certain
patrice
16:50:12
The technology.. certainly. Whether Apple succeeds or not
patrice
16:50:33
which is not a guarantee!
BobBeach
16:54:38
3d to flopped. I don’t want to wear a headset to watch to
BobBeach
16:56:26
Why do I want to watch with avatars
BobBeach
16:56:34
No thanks
JeffG
16:57:11
I agree, but people who are already comfortable with avatars through gaming might go for that.
ChuckJ
16:58:05
Agreed Jeff...but what size market does that represent?
BobBeach
16:58:21
Not very much
BobBeach
16:59:18
I have no desire to enter a virtual world but I’m old. Young people are different
BobBeach
17:00:10
Perhaps
patrice
17:01:00
I'm super bullish about it. because I see both the risks and the potential
BobBeach
17:02:03
I love wearing my Apple Watch
BobBeach
17:03:56
Could this be Apple’s first major flop?
ChuckJ
17:04:34
There have been plenty of other contestants for that title, BobBeach, but it could be.
benroethig
17:05:07
TSO host knows and gives us exactly what we want
BobBeach
17:05:34
They haven’t really had a major flop since Jobs came back have they? Minor ones yes
ChuckJ
17:06:39
Unfortunately, anything that isn't a screaming success is so often tagged as a "flop" by the press.
patrice
17:06:57
oh yes... .mac mobileMe, basically their whole cloud strategy until a few years ago. then there was the iPod Hifi, the MBP iterations from 2015 until 2020
BobBeach
17:07:23
I don’t think they are major flops
JeffG
17:08:00
APple's server business, and their corporate programs were major flops
ChuckJ
17:08:02
Agreed, but at one point or another they were tagged that way. Until they came into their own.
ChuckJ
17:08:49
Good examples, Jeff...but don't you think that was due to lack of attention/resources given to them?
