☆ Mark Zuckerberg says Meta’s Quest 3 is the clear winner compared to Apple’s Vision Pro
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-14 | by ( Clare Duffy | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

The Meta CEO on Monday posted a video review of Apple’s Vision Pro, the new rival mixed reality headset to Meta’s Quest 3. “Alright, guys, so, I finally tried Apple’s Vision Pro,” Zuckerberg begins in the video, which was posted to his Instagram. Zuckerberg also throws several other jabs at the Vision Pro in an effort to talk up his own product. Meta also has a more advanced, and more expensive, headset option called Meta Quest Pro. At least for now, most consumers probably aren’t going to buy either the Quest 3 or the Vision Pro.

It will be the 22nd time that CBS has carried the Super Bowl, which is the most among the four broadcast networks. Cohen said CBS analyst Jay Feely, who kicked in the NFL for 14 seasons, also gave his input on where to position the cameras. The upright cameras are part of 165 cameras CBS has for Sunday. There are also 23 augmented reality cameras that both CBS and Nickelodeon will use. While various bells and whistles, like AR, are nice, they also have to be used for the right reasons, which Cohen sees with the Nickelodeon broadcast.

More than any film I’ve made, “Tenet” was designed to have this very theatrical, IMAX, larger than life identity. VILLENEUVE: It was not planned that I would get an IMAX film release. Or, I didn’t leave film, film left me and my heart was broken. NOLAN: I just like hearing the guy who made “Dune Two” be like “it’s all about money.” I’ve seen that film. On every film I’ve ever done, including “Oppenheimer,” I first showed it to the studio on cut and copy, taped together, splices and everything.

☆ Is Costco's $120 Executive membership a good deal? Here's how much you need to spend to make it worthwhile
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-20 | by ( Nicolas Vega | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The promise of 2% cash back with Costco's Executive membership can be tempting, but it might not be worth the upcharge. They take a look at your profile and tell you that you're a good candidate for the Costco Executive membership. On paper, the $120 Executive Membership sounds like a great deal. Calculating if the $120 Executive Membership is worth the upcharge is simple. But if your annual spend regularly tops $3,000, you're better off with the Executive Membership.

On the possession that followed the Lions’ touchdown, the Chiefs stalled, punting with 5:07 left. And then drama turned to farce, as Mahomes’s receivers let him down and penalties pushed the Chiefs backward. Mahomes took the snap, rolled left and launched a throw that arced across the line to gain, reaching the fingertips of the receiver Skyy Moore, who couldn’t clasp it. On the air, Tirico said: “The Detroit Lions are right there.” In the truck, Hyland’s pronouncement was less circumspect. One measure of the success of “Sunday Night Football” is how “Sunday Night Football”-ish the competing broadcasts are looking.

Finnish mixed-reality startup Varjo on Monday launched its latest headset, the XR-4, a product it hopes to sell to large enterprise firms. The headset, which starts at a price of $3,990, is similar to those from Meta , Microsoft and Apple . Unlike consumer offerings from companies such as Meta, Varjo's headset is intended for enterprise use cases. For example, a pilot working for a major defense contractor could use it to train in a virtual reality simulation. The XR-4 headset has two 4K displays and a 50% wider field of view compared with previous-generation devices.

☆ The 3 best Black Friday monitor deals I recommend as a tech and gaming reporter
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-24 | by ( ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +1 min

Learn moreWhich gaming monitor is best for you depends on several things, like your budget, how powerful your gaming PC is, and whether you're a casual gamer or competitive. It can serve gamers on a budget, as you don't need super powerful and expensive hardware to run games at 1080p resolution. It's also a good option for more competitive gamers who will value its 240Hz refresh rate for more precise micro-aiming. For the 1440p resolution realm, where a gamer values graphical fidelity a little more, I'd recommend LG's UltraGear 27GP850-B with 165Hz refresh rate. As for 4K, Samsung's 43-inch Odyssey Neo G7 4K monitor with 144Hz for a whoppingly good $500 deal (50% off) is an immediate recommendation.
