> Meaning, I'm not sure what the developer was thinking, and at this point, I'm not going to track down exactly who it was and point fingers.

As a developer, this sentence made my skin crawl.

What does being 'trustworthy' have to do with anything in this context?

All Thiel is doing is admitting that he has no idea how to innovate further in this area.

And that would necessarily be bad?

Maybe, but it's still full of speculation.

Everything in The Information's article seems sourced to me. Some of the sources are "former employees" or similarly vague, but the reporter had an actual demonstration of Magic Leap's latest and greatest.

Yeah, it's funny how they think they got some scoop here. It was obviously a concept video. Totally obvious, and not just from what you mentioned, just the look and feel of the whole thing in general.

Care to elaborate? I work in Spain which got Netflix earlier this year and literally everyone in my office got a subscription.

Okay. I didnt expect that. Maybe they're stepping up their game ^^

Do they have a decent catalogue in Spain? and they have the series translated in Spanish as well?

Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work, it's appreciated by many. Maybe this wasn't the best choice, but missteps happen. Sadly, we'll never know how it might have been dealt with if people were able to take a deep breath and open a real, constructive dialogue about it rather than immediately freak out and make threats against you, forgetting (or simply not caring) that, by and large, people like you have been doing them huge favors while demanding nothing in return. Pathetic.

But isn't it just because they show things in development? Apple doesn't do that. And Google has learned a few lessons in that regard too.

Hmm... Not entirely sure.

Windows Holographic is out there with end-users. Albeit with some/many shortcomings and obviously still being developed (like every other OS) -- I would compare it more to iOS 1.0, which was pretty stable but also had many short comings.

Apple and Google haves not released anything for end-users or even demoed anything... so I still feel Microsoft is ahead. Obviously, I don't know what Apple and Google are working on internally (or Microsoft for that matter).

It will come. There's no way they're not developing something. There's all the articles about the patents they have and what not. Tim Cook has commented on AR vs VR. But, in typical Apple fashion, they'll announce it out of nowhere and tell you can buy it NEXT WEEK!

We'll see...

Apple has disappointed me a bit lately, but I definitely think AR makes more sense for Apple than trying to build a car.

Microsoft may have some advantage in that they've done a lot research in the field of 3D scanning and have lots of experience with Kinect, though.
