Yesterday, I had a demo of the Vision Pro at an Apple Store. It was easy to get, which is not a positive indicator for sales. Over a long time, I decided to skip having the demo after concluding from reading/watching several reviews that I would not buy one. There was no compelling reason that … Continue reading

Space War, the latest fight for eyeballs
This post is about my thoughts regarding the evolution of virtual and argument reality. I recently wrote about Apple’s Vision Pro (I was not enthusiastic). But I believe that virtual and augmented reality will play a significant role in technological evolution and significantly affect humanity. My primary concern regarding the widespread adoption of this technology … Continue reading
What would Steve Jobs have thought about the Vision Pro
The Vision Pro is most likely the first Apple product that does not have at least some input from Steve Jobs. Possibly he was not involved in any way with the Apple Watch, but since he passed away on Oct. 5, 2011, the Watch came out in Sept 2014, just three years after his death. … Continue reading
Could Franklin have been Compaq and Apple, Microsoft?

The Apple Watch, the most anticipated ho-hum product ever launched
I promised a number of you that I would give my impressions of the Apple Watch. Frankly, I don’t have a lot to say, which in some strange way, is saying a lot. I have numbered the various capabilities on a scale from 1-10, but bottom line, unless you have an extra $500 or so … Continue reading
34 years of not Becoming Steve Jobs
Here I go again, writing about Steve Jobs. For the last 34 years, Steve Jobs played a role in my life, although not one of which he was particularly aware. This post is not really a review of the book “Becoming Steve Jobs”. Rather it is a discussion of my interaction/reaction with Jobs either directly … Continue reading

The Apple Watch
It is now several weeks since Apple announced the Apple Watch (formerly known as the iWatch). Normally, I have strong opinions on tech products as soon as they are announced or at least a few days later when I can read reviews of those that got hands on access to the products. This time is clearly an exception. I still don’t know what I think about the Apple Watch over all. Continue reading
