     Image : Apple Vision Pro One of my initial impressions of Apple's mixed-reality Vision Pro headsets on Monday was, Man, that thing looks weird. It wasn't just me. The reception of the Vision Pro was less than favorable on social media. Skeptics made fun of the gadget's goggle-like design for snowboarding, its $3,500 price tag, and Apple's grand claims that it would usher in the "spatial computing" era. Wall-E the Robot and Twitter memes about people viewing pornography in virtual reality have been compared. I understand. Since I've been skeptical of virtual reality for so long, even as headset quality has increased, I've often pondered why the technology hasn't become more widely used. Mark Zuckerberg's pitch for the metaverse always gave me the creeps; it seemed more like "personal conquest" than "actual market demand." And if you had asked me before Monday's announcement if I believed Apple's mixed-reality hea...

Rohit Chopra, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, stated in a press release that "popular digital payment apps are used more and more often in place of a traditional bank or credit union account, but they do not have the same s...

 Cortana has lost its utility as Microsoft expands its lineup of AI-powered tools.   Microsoft is discontinuing Windows Cortana support. Beginning later this year, the company will "no longer support Cortana in Windows as a standalone app," according to a support page discovered by XDA Developers and Windows Central. The removal of Cortana from Windows doesn't come as a shock. Microsoft unveiled its new Windows Copilot tool at its Build conference in May. Once widely available, Windows Copilot will reside in your taskbar and use AI to help you do whatever Cortana does. It covers rewriting text, asking questions, changing your computer's settings, and many other things. In 2015, Microsoft introduced Cortana to Windows 10, allowing users to use voice commands to set reminders, launch applications, and ask questions. But Microsoft has been gradually removing Cortana from the Windows experience over time. With the release of Windows 11, the digital assistant lost its prom...

This fall, the headset will be offered in a 128GB version for $499.99 and "an additional storage option for those who want more space" at an unspecified additional cost.
