When it comes to innovation from a global perspective, the ideas and products from America’s Silicon Valley are second to none. And when we consider which of those Big Tech companies has been the boldest, it’s difficult to argue against Apple. From producing the very first home computer known as the Macintosh, to its iPods and iPhones, to the Apple Watch, there is no doubt Apple Inc. has been on the cutting edge of technological development for the better part of four decades. But their latest venture into electric vehicle manufacturing has just hit a major pothole.

Scale it down, add a wire, and it would make a fine computer mouse.

#2 nailed it. The thing looks like a wireless mouse. It would inevitably be nicknamed "mouse." How is that going to work in a car culture of Mustangs, Cougars, Jaguars, Tigers, Eagles, Vipers, and more? Even my quite normal and ordinary manhood would make me embarrassed to buy a car nicknamed "the mouse."

Apple's substitution of virtual reality for car windows means that the passengers will be sitting inside a windowless box reading computer screens. Why would one want to do that? No windows reminds me of Maggie's Pa: "Well, he puts his cigar out in your face just for kicks / His bedroom window it is made out of bricks." Maybe the ultimate answer after everything goes to socialist Green Hell is to return to the livery stable and to horseback. Humanity couldn't handle modernity and underwent auto-extinction. Maybe literally.

Big Brother has decided that if we won't stay hidden away inside our homes wearing 2 or 3 diapers over our noses, well by God, they will make us invisible to each other as we drive around in battery powered surveillance units and collect data on every move we make. Think I'll walk.

If the design of the car faithfully follows the design elements of their previous computers and phones, the vehicle will be restricted to travel on roads built or approved by Apple, must use electricity available only at official factory-authorized stations that have the special Apple plugs, and the octagonal wheels will require proprietary tires made only by the manufacturer. The hood will be sealed with a large "warranty void if seal is broken" sticker; there will be no operator's manual in the glovebox because, they claim, "it just works",

The Macintosh was not Apple's first computer, and this article shows that the writer cannot read. Companies patent a lot of things, but this one (following the links) describes not a windowless car, but a VR entertainment system that integrates virtual reality with the motion of the car, in order to reduce motion sickness, or amuse children bored on long road trips, or provide a way to make it easier to read while the car is moving.

For all the talk of driverless cars, I don’t believe they will become dominant if they become a thing at all. People like to drive their cars. If they wanted to be a passenger all the time they wouldn’t even own a car ... they’d call a cab or take the bus.

The first Apple computer that sold a lot was the Apple II. My sister had one, and I used it to play some early video for a few days in the 1981 time frame. Mac was much later.

No windows. I guess the point is to eliminate the panic of the passengers during a head on crash. If they can't see the accident about to happen, they'll feel safe.

Apple is a progressive company. They do not want passengers to see the results of Biden's America. That helps to control the narrative.

Yes, #20, if MIcrosoft made a car, it would resemble a '56 Cadillac, with huge tail fins, chrome everywhere, and a paint job that only a Pakistani bus driver could love. The passenger compartment would be festooned with buttons, gauges, levers, and knobs, many of them hidden in odd places like the glove box or under the seat, but almost nobody knows how to use most of them, or even what they're for. The engine would need to be enormous, but the car still lumbers along like a tank because it weighs several tons. The second Tuesday of every month, the vehicle would need to go into the shop for a complete overhaul. Often, it wouldn't run afterwards, and would need to go back to the shop a second time. Although Microsoft constantly redesigns and replaces the locks under warranty, the vehicles are frequently broken into and taken for joy-rides. The one-page user's manual simply says "turn key to start".

AOC will see you at the altar. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is engaged to longtime boyfriend Riley Roberts, she confirmed on Twitter. “It’s true! Thank you all for the well wishes,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. The couple were engaged in Puerto Rico last month but haven’t set a date as they take “some space to savor this time before diving into planning,” the congresswoman told Business Insider. Rumors started circulating earlier in the day when Ocasio-Cortez was photographed by The Hill sporting an engagement ring.

Former President Donald Trump didn’t waste any time in making his feelings known regarding the announcement by billionaire Elon Musk that his blockbuster deal to buy Twitter had hit a snag. On Friday morning, Musk tweeted, “Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users.” The news came as a surprise to many, coming less than three weeks after the Twitter board of directors approved the $44 billion deal to have Musk buy out the company. Within hours of Musk’s tweet, Trump weighed in from his own platform Truth Social later on Friday:

The rhetoric from various Democrats last week regarding the leaked draft of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s purported majority opinion regarding the potential landmark case of Dobbs V Jackson was predictable. Democrats called those voting in the majority ‘radicals,’ and they lamented the demise of Roe V Wade. They also claimed that their position on abortion was aligned with most Americans: it’s not. In fact, it’s not even close. But this week, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Senate Majority Leader – for now – couldn’t help himself, as he insisted on enshrining that disconnect for the ages.

In one of the more memorable lines from the original movie ‘Ghostbusters,’ Bill Murray’s character Dr. Peter Venkman was explaining what was about to happen to New York City due to the ghoulish upheaval they’d stirred up: “Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!” That statement could have also been used to describe the reaction from the left this week after the leak of the opinion from SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito in the Dobbs V Jackson case. But of all those who lost their minds, and of everyone who said stupid stuff, CNN was the most hysterical.

President Biden on Monday mixed up his job title, telling a crowd at the White House that he was the nation’s first senator from Delaware when he meant to say president. Biden, who turns 80 this year, is the oldest-ever US president and Republican critics routinely accuse him of being in mental decline, citing gaffes and instances where he appears to lose his train of thought. “There have not been many of the senators from Delaware. It’s a small state. As a matter of fact, there has never been one.

But Clinton offered a rosier view, claiming the president ad delivered on his campaign promise to turn the corner on the COVID-19 pandemic and restore the U.S. to its rightful place in the world.
