I had my suspicions, but I didn't want to jump to any conclusions. So for any of you out there wondering how this journal worked out, Web 2.0 is garbage.

Until Apple or Samsung put their efforts into AR, I don't see anyone else being able to go to market with a VR solution. Even Google tried and failed with the Google Glass a decade ago. While I love the idea, I don't think the market is there for this yet (and might not be for a long time outside of large cities).
There are different and distinct uses for tablets and laptops. Until we get full power-user options for tablets such as shell access and the ability to install arbitrary files, its hard to do all workflows through a tablet. Even being able to ssh into a remote service and do tests, its still not completely viable for many of my workflows. The one advantage the Microsoft Surface has is that its a full Win10 operating system on standard processors, giving me a lot of flexibility without having to root the device.
I'd love to see VSCode or similar programs take this on as a challenge and provide the ability for me to work with my git repos, and provide some remote shells to test my code in. With Azure its all within their ecosystem if they are willing to spend the time / energy.
I hate to say I told you so, but....
So the question becomes, will people with these kinds of chips have to also have easily recognizable tatoos on their faces so that people around them will know that everything that people do and say around them may be essentially getting recorded for all time?
Yes, Mike Tyson is one of the fortunate few to have already gotten an implant.
Amazon already sells Prime phones. They are cheaper than unlocked phones, but with a locked bootloader, and with Amazon ads on the homescreen and lockscreen.
I could imagine their Prime phones now coming with free data.
You probably don't know this. Epic have had more than just one hit game.
First released game appeared in 1992 as Epic (and one before that in 1991 with another company name) I really dare you to put out a full blown release of a game software product running on just one platform, even with today's free tools and git-ware. It takes a lot more time than you can imagine.
In Those 30 years, the tiny company Epic managed to outsmart Id, Sony, Nintendo, Electronic Arts, Valve, Microsoft, Ubisoft, Crytek, Take2, Vivendi, Infinity Ward, Bioware, Capcom, TT, SquareEnix Sierra, Dynamics, Microprose, ActiBliz, Rockstar, Naughty Dog, Mojang, Dice, Treyarch, Bethesda and many more. That's a hell of lot of industry competition to handle. They did not simply manage, they were setting the rules at every step of the way.
and there you are
How much of this is the vast technical resources Alphabet / Google have accumulated over the years needing something to do. Everyone wants to make their mark and instead of incremental improvements, they rely on massive change to stake out a claim. Youtube's problem is largely chasing dollars and wanting to rebrand themselves as TV instead fo what made Youtube great.
If it happens once, it's a bug. If it happens twice, it's a feature. If it happens more than twice, it's a design philosophy.
