I don't understand, google still works, but responds with a gemini answer by default. In what way is google worse off?

Also being paid handsomely to run models for OpenAI, in OpenAI stock, so they're fine either way.

And even more, Anthropic are paying Google to run their models.

Eaten away... By people using Gemini.

I'd argue that nothing is "inarguable"

Almost as if they're buying the display from Samsung...

But are tablets a real worthwhile market, or just a luxury couch device for a few?

I'd rather have a touchscreen macbook pro.

Other than getting $250 per iphone duo sold, becuase they're the exclusive screen supplier?

Except the cameras are bad, it's not a top of the line phone despite having the highest price. Weired choice, will limit it's appeal a lot.

It did do, but now it's putting ads in everything it will rapidly converge to the same practices to optimise shareholder value.

It was an lower spec, gimped version to be fair. No one in the market for a new phone on launch day is excited to buy a lower end, worse battery & camera version that's missing multiple features present on the other versions.

Seriously? They were tiny, media production niche, crazily priced machines 30 years ago. Almost zero marketshare or mindshare, and most people (in e.g. EU) didn't even know anyone who owned a Mac.

I can't imagine wanting to walk anywhere with massive clownish goggles on, and while tethered to the power box & various peripherals.

Still, a small camera is an odd thing to cut.

Seriously, this (and pron) is the only use case that will appeal to the mass market for a single user, un-shareable, stupid looking, immersive thing like this.

For nice hardware with hardly any content, not making huge strides to get existing VR content on it was a terrible strategy. And Apple can afford to just buy one of the bigger players to get content too.

Same as twitter.
