On the Mac and iPad on launch day! Assassin’s Creed “Shadows is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox Series X/S, macOS, and iPadOS on March 20, 2025.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassi...

Gurman is giving dates of 2026 and 2027 "to make Siri more ChatGPT-like and conversational" and then deliver a user interface. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A misstep by Apple, having overpromised at WWDC 2024 and underdelivering over the next year. 'It’s going to take us longer than we thought to deliver on these features and we anticipate rolling them out in the coming year.' daringfireball.net/2025/03/appl...

CISA has cut funding for the EI-ISAC (Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing & Analysis Center) - the primary way the federal gov provides security information and assistance to state and local election officials to help them secure the nation's election infrastructure and learn about threats

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show in Las Vegas begins in one month. I expect/hope Blackmagic Design ships their Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera around that time. It was first announced at WWDC last June.

I missed this announcement: ‘set to premiere on May 30, 2025 on Apple Vision Pro, “Bono: Stories of Surrender (Immersive)” will be the first feature-length film available in Apple Immersive Video … places viewers onstage with Bono and in the center of his story.’ www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

1/2 Apple's Spatial Gallery app is available in the latest visionOS beta. A lot of the images say "Shot on iPhone".

visionOS portals work a little differently in an immersive environment as opposed to being attached to a window. You can move the portal around to see different areas of the world behind it. Might make a nice immersive story feature.

Playing with portals in visionOS. Noted in posts below.

This is lunacy. Absolute lunacy.

This has been a tough few weeks for my cybersecurity soul.

Checking out Apple Vision Pro sample projects from Apple. Clicking on a model resource and seeing Xcode prompt me to "Export to SceneKit" seems really anachronistic.

Former CISA director Jen Easterly helped put together a site that matches laid-off CISA employees with companies that want to hire them. bit.ly/4bxFqAF
