Apple first showed off the Apple Vision Pro in June 2023, hoping developers would build awesome apps for it when it went on sale in January. Specifically: Where are the apps for the Apple Vision Pro, the $3,500 headset Apple introduced earlier this year? This is a question we've asked repeatedly, and the answer seems to be pretty consistent: Developers aren't leaping to build anything for Apple Vision Pro because they don't think many people are using Apple Vision Pro. But if developers don't build for the Apple Vision Pro, then there's never going to be any reason for people to buy an Apple Vision Pro. Overall, there are about 1,770 apps for the Vision Pro in Apple's App Store , according to Appfigures' count.

Netflix is rolling in cash. What a turnaround!
  + stars: | 2024-10-17 | by ( Peter Kafka | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Netflix makes money. Netflix is actually bringing in so much money that it is turning a profit, while its competitors struggle to break even. And Netflix financed all that cash incineration by taking on many billions of dollars in debt. In 2019, Netflix had negative cash flow of $3.3 billion. That doesn't mean Netflix is going to go hog-wild on spending now that its thesis has been borne out.

Novelist James Patterson — along with a hardworking group of co-authors — generates multiple books a year. So I think that's kind of cool. I'm going to do a movie about cowboys and circuses! People don't think of them that way. So people ask — "What's the difference between James Patterson working with a group of people to make stuff in the voice of James Patterson and James Patterson using AI for the same thing?"

At the same time, the brand's popularity may have peaked and is "on the way out," teens said in the firm's annual survey. While Stanley's multi-colored insulated cups still have considerable caché, upper-income teens told Piper Sander that the products could soon see the same fate as skinny jeans. Upper-income male teens surveyed ranked Stanley cups as their fifth-most fashion trend on the way out. Keith told Business Insider the survey's fashion trend question is open-ended, meaning that respondents are not prompted by a list of options. "They really kind of struck gold with these larger, thick cups, with the handle and a straw," Keith told BI.

Elon Musk says self-driving Tesla cabs — something he's talked about for a long time — are just around the corner. The next day, Wall Street declared itself thoroughly unimpressed: Investors knocked down Tesla shares by nearly 9%. Related storiesAnd at the same time, Tesla investors no longer seem so forgiving. Since Musk acquired Twitter — after failing at his attempt to back out of a signed deal to acquire Twitter — Tesla shares are down 4.7%. Something like "Tesla investors don't care about Musk's Twitter travails — at all."

That's because of a twisty backstory involving gun-shy Hollywood studios, a fledgling producer, and his father-in-law: Dan Snyder, a billionaire Trump supporter who initially bankrolled the movie. Related storiesYou got a Trump supporter to fund this movie, which in no way is a movie a Trump supporter would want to see, let alone fund. And so indirectly, a Republican Trump donor's money was paying for the production of this movie. The nightmare scenario would be that we shoot this movie and then Dan Snyder hates the movie and somehow is able to block it. AdvertisementThis will sound pretty cavalier from me, but: It seems like if there's an "unseeable Trump movie" that is going to immediately make people demand to see it.

Sam's ClubGRAPEVINE, Texas — When shoppers walk into Sam's Club's newest store, they'll soon see a shiny blue Mercedes-Benz SUV, a sectional sofa and zero checkout lanes. Sam's ClubSince Walmart's founder Sam Walton opened the first Sam's Club in 1983, the membership-based club has become the more tech-savvy arm of its retail-behemoth parent. Nicholas said upon its reopening, the location will become a testing ground for Sam's Club's newest features and emerging technology. Sam's Club and Costco have roughly the same number of U.S. clubs, but Costco pulls in about twice as much annual revenue. Sam's Club also opened The Clubhouse in August, an approximately 37,000-square-foot office building across from the retailer's headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.

2 executive at Trump Media & Technology, the company that runs Trump's Truth Social, has resigned. You'd think this is the kind of thing that would worry Trump Media investors. 2 executive at Donald Trump's social media company resigned this week. And indeed, shares in Trump Media & Technology Group — the company that runs Trump's Truth Social platform — were down about 1% Friday morning. We've done this many times, so briefly: Trump Media & Technology Group runs Truth Social, but Truth Social is embryonic at best.

The battle of the face computers is on
  + stars: | 2024-10-04 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Meta debuted its Orion augmented reality glasses last week without a consumer release date. AR glasses are a substantial step toward a future that ditches the handheld smartphone for face computers. AdvertisementThe battle of the face computers is here, and Meta just launched a highly compelling salvo. Last Wednesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the company's latest innovation, Orion — augmented reality eyewear that weighs about 3.5 ounces. Snap's Spectacles are augmented reality glasses that run on the company's in-house OS.

Daniel Day-Lewis and Ronan Day-Lewis co-wrote the film, described as an exploration of the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers as well as the “dynamics of familial bonds.” Daniel Day-Lewis will lead the cast of “Anemone” his first acting gig since 2017’s “Phantom Thread,” alongside Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green. “We could not be more excited to partner with a brilliant visual artist in Ronan Day-Lewis on his first feature film alongside Daniel Day-Lewis as his creative collaborator,” Focus Features chairman Peter Kujawski said in a statement. “I knew it was uncharacteristic to put out a statement,” Daniel Day-Lewis said.

New York AP —Daniel Day-Lewis is coming out of retirement, seven years after his last movie, for a film directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis. The project was announced Tuesday by Focus Features and Plan B, which are partnering on “Anemone.” The film, Ronan Day-Lewis’ directorial debut, will star his father along with Sean Bean and Samantha Morton. Earlier Tuesday, Daniel Day-Lewis and Bean were spotted riding a motorbike through Manchester, England, stoking intrigue about his impending return to acting. After making Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2017 film “Phantom Thread,” the 67-year-old had said he was quitting acting. “We could not be more excited to partner with a brilliant visual artist in Ronan Day-Lewis on his first feature film alongside Daniel Day-Lewis as his creative collaborator,” said Peter Kujawski, chair of Focus Features.

That turned out to be a very good decision: Yglesias says Slow Boring is grossing around $1.4 million a year, with limited overhead. Substack gives writers like Yglesias — and now, Taylor Lorenz — a lot of freedom and the ability to make a lot of money. Now, she's off to work on her own via User Mag, a new Substack publication she's launching this week. The Substack was an immediate success, and within a few months, Yglesias had 9,800 subscribers, paying him around $80 a year. Yglesias says he now has nearly 18,000 subscribers, which means he is likely grossing at least $1.4 million a year.

If Trump Wins, Could He Really Use the Justice Department to Jail His Rivals? One of the most powerful appointees within the Justice Department is the director of the F.B.I., who ordinarily serves a 10-year term. He would be limited to a pool of senior Justice Department employees and Senate-confirmed officials, but still…. Even if Trump has installed loyalists at the top levels of the Justice Department, F.B.I. If the public comes to see the Justice Department as compromised, will witnesses and informants continue to cooperate?

You probably did end up using QR codes more frequently during the pandemic, where they became part of the "touchless" experience in some consumer settings, notably restaurants. But like other pandemic experiences, it looks like the QR code spike has faded post-Covid, now that people are happy to do stuff like hold menus in their hands.

Now, despite a rocky start three years ago, Meta's smart glasses are doing better than expected. Meta's Ray-Bans have a camera and speaker and are packed with AI. Meta's loftier goal, the Orion glasses , aren't quite there. Yet getting people into the Orion glasses may depend on getting people comfortable with smart glasses generally, and that's where the Ray-Bans could come in. And the Meta Ray-Bans make it even easier to use AI as you move through the world — no hands (and awkward air-pinching ) required.
