Will realityOS debut at WWDC?
Will they or won't they?
The rumors surrounding the long-awaited debut of realityOS -- Apple's operating system for AR/VR headsets -- are murky at best.
Some are convinced Apple will show off the new OS at WWDC next week, in order to get developers on board before unveiling the hardware at a later date.
But others argue it's still too early, and Apple will sit on its AR/VR efforts until the hardware is ready.
I wish I had the answer. I'd love to get a sneak peek next week.
But even if Apple doesn't roll out realityOS, there's always iOS/iPadOS 16.

On Sunday, when people noticed “realityOS” trademarks set for international filing on June 8, mad speculation flew that at least the software platform for Apple’s planned AR/VR headsets could be unveiled at WWDC22, which starts June 6. And while it’s tantalizing speculation with other supporting evidence, there is reason for doubt, too.
It's an impressive milestone, but Apple's web browser still lags well behind Google Chrome in popularity.
The high expectation is not just because the antique computer is nearly all original and actually functions. It’s also because Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak scrawled his name on the vintage machine's CPU.
The new gaming controller fits around the tablet, and works well for cloud services like Apple Arcade, Xbox Game Pass, GeForce Now and Stadia.

The five-episode dinosaur documentary pulled in plenty of viewers. Amazing archosaurs, re-created with cutting-edge CGI, helped the series hit No. 5 on a list of most-watched TV shows on all U.S. streaming services.
There are loads of Safari web extensions in the App Store, all of which pimp out Apple’s mobile browser in interesting and exciting ways. But the very best Safari web extension is called Noir. This must-have extension brings Dark Mode support to every website you visit. Here’s why you should download it immediately.
On May 31, 2013, the Chicago Sun-Times fired all 28 of its photographers, with the goal of training its staff to shoot pictures using iPhones instead. The move spotlighted the declining newspaper industry -- and showcased the iPhone's growing acceptance as a professional camera.
If you’re one of the many, many people waiting longer and longer periods for your Mac thanks to supply-chain delays, we apologize in advance. We don’t mean to rub your face in your misfortune. But when we find a great computer setup featuring an exciting new 16-inch M1 Max MacBook Pro splitting time with an Xbox on a 40-inch, curved ultra-wide display, we’ve just got to talk about it.

One more thing ...
"The point is that people really don't have to understand how computers work. Most people have no concept of how an automatic transmission works, yet they know how to drive a car. You don't have to study physics to understand the laws of motion to drive a car. You don't have to understand any of this stuff to use Macintosh." -- Steve Jobs
