Just How Deep Is Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse Money Pit?

[ad_1] When it comes to measuring the progress of Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse, big numbers have been in short supply. Only 20 million of his Quest virtual reality headsets have sold since 2019. Only 200,000 users are reportedly active in Meta Platform Inc.'s flagship virtual reality experience, Horizon Worlds. Oh, actually, there is one big number: $21 billion lost on creating the Metaverse since the start of 2022.All this prompts an obvious question: Just how much money is Zuckerberg prepared to spend to make his Metaverse successful? Luckily for him, he doesn't have to answer that just yet. Meta's legacy business — selling online advertising — is roaring, with double digit revenue growth for the first time since the end of 2021. That's providing sufficient distraction to keep investor...

[ad_1] Apple Vision Pro has been the talk of the world since Apple unveiled it at WWDC 2023. And why shouldn't it? It is something out of a science fiction film like Ready Player One. Several tech moguls such as Twitter owner Elon Musk and Google CEO Sundar Pichai have given their opinions on Apple's first AR/VR headset, and while the Vision Pro has got Pichai excited about the future of technology, it has left former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey concerned about its impact on humanity.Apple Vision Pro - Mark of a dystopian future?During an interview with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti on the Breaking Points podcast, Dorsey expressed his concerns about the AR/VR headset, likening it to WALL-E, a dystopian future film by Pixar where humans have left Earth, straddled on a mobile chair with thei...

WWDC 2023: From iOS 17 to Apple Vision Pro, Know the BIGGEST announcements from the Apple event

[ad_1] Apple CEO Tim Cook began the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023's keynote session with a line that will be in people's minds for a while. He said, “Today we're going to make some of our biggest announcements ever at WWDC”. And big they were. In a show that ran for a little over two hours, Apple presenters were rushing as they showcased software and hardware products that were simply superb and could have headlined any event in a different year.
