- Replying to @zskWell - this escalated quickly! I have a lot of information about this person, thanks to some very smart folks, and it is now in the hands of the police. I can’t say any more about it for now but I will when I am able to. Thank you to all for the overwhelming support, the love by
- Yesterday I tried the Apple Vision Pro. I wasn't allowed to film or photograph it. It was in a private room at Apple Park. I have yet to see *anyone* outside of the promo ad actually wearing one. I have tried a lot of headsets! here's what I thought of this one....
- Replying to @katebevanYes. I'm sharing this because I think it's important to see it
- Replying to @zsk... But aiming this at an everyday audience - basically doing stuff on it that you do on your phone all the time - is genius. Lots of VR headsets still market aggressively at gamers. Kill monsters! Play in a rock band! This is a much more mundane but clever approach. The end!
- I’d like to tell you about an awesome BBC colleague of ours who has passed away. You might not know his name but you have almost certainly seen his work if you are one of the many millions of people who read the BBC News website. Richard Warry was a formidable and brilliant
- Woke up this morning to MASSIVE global outage affecting trains, planes, banks, supermarkets around the world. Sky News off air. Microsoft says it’s investigating a US cloud issue. Lots of fingers pointing at an anti-virus update from cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. BBC live page
- Is there a cut off date after which everyone can stop saying there's a higher volume of calls than normal and just accept that this is, in fact, the nature of customer service?
- My son's school: so, we just need your consent to collect your son's biometric data and store it in our "new secure place" Me: err.... I have a *lot* of questions about this
- I’ve now been the BBC’s tech editor for 2 years. It’s gone so quickly! Here’s what I have learned… You can’t do a job like this unless you’re genuinely passionate about the subject - and I am. You are always on call - my longest days begin with @BBCr4today and end with the BBC
- Replying to @zsk- it's light and comparatively comfortable to wear - the eye tracking/gesture control is spot on - you look at an app, pinch your fingers together and it opens. No clunky hand controllers required - the user experience is pretty easy - you get the hang of it quickly...
- I’ve broadcast from lots of cool places but being on @BBCr4today with @amolrajan in ALAN TURING’S ACTUAL OFFICE here at @bletchleypark is giving me enormous butterflies
- Replying to @zsk- 2 hours of battery life. Battery has a USB-C charge point! - watching movies is truly cinematic - the photorealistic avatar you see during a video call is a bit weird, even though it picks up smiles and frowns - the 3D content is fun and impressive but a gimmick...
- Replying to @zsk- the lack of latency is great - looking at photos and videos is great - but the photos and videos I saw were curated stunning landscapes + beautiful people - the dial on the top that lets you increase or decrease the size of what you're seeing is I think a game changer...
