>I think one of the biggest challenges for Twitter is on-boarding new users.
This is worse than ever, they invest most of their effort in getting you to follow their cherry picked celeb users for your country. Then they spend the rest of their effort trying to ban you.
It's not just machine learning, 3D rendering is moving over to GPU as well and there is next to no support for anything other than CUDA in that space today.
Not everything starts and ends with gaming in the high end computer space.
Hardware design on this feels entirely uninspired, Chinese knockoff of last years iPhone and Samsung devices.
If they truly started from scratch and ended up here then this hardware initiative is going to fall flat. But I'm gonna guess they didn't start from scratch and this is just a rebadged device as people suspect.
Why on earth would you launch such a cheap plasticky looking device in such a similar form than your competitors device last year when their update was moving that device into more premium materials (iPhone 6 looks positively cheapo next to the 7) and making it seamless.
Surprised they went with a form factor so similar to Samsung and the iPhone 6, just looks pretty dated really.
Think now would have been a good opportunity to go for something less rounded. An iPhone 4 style sharp design would probably end up looking futuristic next to all the faceless rounded blobs the market is full of.
Finding these heavily curated advertorials Apple has been pushing out (This and the recent wired advertorials come to mind) a bit of a sign that not everything is sunny at One Infinite Loop.
Wii minigames in VR are still just Wii minigames, whole thing feels like something I'd expect from a hackday from a company as supposedly prolific as valve.
> Rockstar North's facility in Edinburgh has roughly the same employee count (slightly more by Wikipedia's count), and all they do is put out one new game every 5 years or so.
Yeah they actually manage to ship games (that manage to make back the entire production budget in pre-orders alone), not just sit on their hands running an online store with an outdated and clunky client.
>I don't care how the message is sent, as long as it is sent.
Friend of mine has an iPad and an iPhone, often her iPhone data plan runs out so I send a message, it's blue and acts like it's delivered.... then I get a reply 6 hours later when she finally gets home and sees it on her iPad because the iPhone never received it because it didn't have a data connection.
Worst part is sometimes I know I need to send it SMS and it's a real pain trying to convinced iMessage to send SMS when it think the person is online with iMessage due to an iPad being left on somewhere. Can never remember which tap and hold dance actually gives me the SMS option.
Does that really matter? Starting to get a bit fed up with this concept that parents are somehow blessed with esoteric wisdom that people without children can't possibly grasp.
It's a fairly simple concept and surely even a childless person can understand where and why this went wrong. It's not as hard to imagine life with children as parents seem to believe.
Just seems a bit absurd to me the amount of effort put into an idea that can be replicated in your own home by putting money in a jar for the kid and then when it's full enough to buy skyrim or whatever put the money in your pocket and order it off amazon for them.
Get to engage with your child on a person to person basis too… not parent via an app and servers.
Not to mention I really don't understand where all the investor money went with no product to show for it. Seen as the payment part never got fully fleshed out we're left with a several thousand dollar todo list...
