It likely goes beyond convenience. You can also simply do more with an AR device than you can with a watch. Is that increased scope of possibilities what makes it more than just a fun toy?

Phone, watch...really not all that different. It's the same action required of me, with the watch being somewhat more convenient. What Apple has me thinking about now is: would an AR device be that much more convenient that it becomes more than just a fun toy? In theory yes, but in practice TBD

If this is a step towards eventually having something more portable, then I'm all for it. An affordable, consumer version of something like this is what I'm really looking forward to: https://youtube.com/watch?v=lj0bFX9HXeE

Breaking down language barriers with augmented reality | Google
Augmented reality allows us to spend more time focusing on what matters in the real world, in our real lives. It can break down communication barriers — and help us better understand each other by making language visible. Watch what happens when we bring technologies like transcription and translation to your line of sight. Learn more: http://g.co/io/zrnvpe

Agree on design being a key way of creating distinction. Though design = marketing is more of an old school approach. I think there's a trend of design being at the table much earlier in the product development process, and that inclusion is part of what enables design to be a real differentiator

I try to avoid categorizing people and instead try to categorize their behaviors. IME this makes it easier to find common ground with people. I also do believe there should be room for forgiveness, redemption, and self improvement. Labeling the behavior instead of the person helps with this

This is why being a GC admin can be so difficult. I know exactly what you're talking about...I've seen annoying people ruin the vibe. But having varying levels of "expertise" in a GC can be very good IME, especially when the relatively less informed are not afraid to ask great questions

I'm not seeing this at all...is it because I'm avoiding the what's hot tab? I was getting some annoying noise particularly when Tucker got fired, but I just liberally unfollowed people who were talking about stuff that I wasn't interested in seeing on my feed

I'm curious to see how the power capacity part develops. In that old xos video you'll notice a giant power cord attached. Portable fusion batteries when
