Apple #VisionPro: What happens when you watch something that literally brings tears to your eyes? Are the internals waterproof? Would tears get on cameras or affect eye-tracking? Easy take off/put back on w/pause/repeat-last-10-sec to wipe eyes? (Asking for a friend...)

The original Apple II required execs to use a keyboard like a (usually female) secretary, have a Sony TV on the desk, and a rainbow ribbon cable. How dorky! With s/w like spreadsheets they outdid their coworkers. Wait for killer apps for #VisionPro. It's worthy of them.

Did Microsoft stop hardware & OS work after talking to Apple about #VisionPro, but continue all the Office, etc., work? MS reportedly made more (after costs) on each 1984 Mac selling S/W (MultiPlan, Word, etc.) than Apple did the H/W. MS has gesture experience from PenWindows.

It seems that Apple is "over the bar" on a variety of important "must haves". (One is consistent "no nausea" reports including from multiple females. Also affordable for enough developers.) Maybe they finally got there so it's time to release to developers to innovate. #VisionPro

"Vision Pro and VisionOS feel like they’ve been pulled forward in time from the future. I haven’t had that feeling about a new product since the original iPhone in 2007. There are several aspects of the experience that felt impossible."
