Called the Metaverse dude even changed the name of Facebook to meta but sadly had to give up on his dream when his stalk got cut in half.

Shortly after Apple rubbed salt in his wounds by announcing their own crappy Vrar headset called the Apple Vision Pro.

But just when you thought he was probably laying face down in a drained pool somewhere, Zuck rose from the ashes and recorded this casual video on his couch that totally embarrassed the Apple cult.

It is February 14th 2024.

And you watching the Code report Apple Vision Pro has been out for a few days and it's even worse than I imagined it's uncomfortable to wear.

It's got this big heavy battery that only has a two hour life.

The pass through clarity surprisingly sucks.

There's motion blur limited dynamic range like you're looking through a pair of binoculars.

The facetime A I is hilariously bad and when you take it off your eyes, feel all wonky Steve jobs must be rolling over in his urn right now.

That being said it is an engineering marvel that can change the world for the right use case.

One thing you can do is use it as an ad blocker in real life.

So when you walk down Times Square, all you are apple ads.

Another great use case is for showing poor people that you are more tech savvy and have a superior bank account.

And finally, its most powerful use case is to turn your ugly girlfriend into a hot girlfriend.

No more paper bags are necessary, which is great for the environment.

Luckily my wife is hot.

So I don't have this problem, but that feature alone is easily worth 3500 bucks.

Now, a lot of people might disagree with my review and think the Apple Vision Pro is the future.

But if you think different, that means you're probably in a cult.

One person who agrees with me though is Mark Zuckerberg.

I don't just think that quest is the better value.

I think question is the better product period.

I'm not sure which home he recorded this video from.

It could be his five property Palo Alto Compounds.

It might be his Lake Tahoe mansion, but I'm guessing it's from his 1400 acre Hawaii doomsday bunker.

In any case, he goes on to explain how the pastor is just as good, if not better on the $500 quest three.

It's also lighter and more comfortable to wear and has way more content to consume while Apple Vision Pro doesn't even have youtube or Netflix yet.

I'm pretty surprised that quest is so much better for the vast majority of things with that price differential.

He even claimed that the quest hand tracking is better.

I doubt that, but he did concede that Apple's eye tracking is way better.

Um It's a nice interface.

It's not perfect for everything though, for typing or complex tasks.

Um You're gonna want things like hands or a keyboard or controllers or eventually a neural interface for, wait a minute.

Did you hear that neural interface, neural interface?

What the hell is a neural interface?

Just a few weeks ago, Neuralink installed its first chip in a real life human.

It's only a matter of time before you have a chip too.

And that's awesome because I for one can't wait for mcdonald's to insert images of MC RBS into my dreams or to hear the voice of Logan Paul in my head telling me to buy prime energy drink.

But that technology is at least months away right now, Apple and Meta are fighting a war for VR dominance very much like the war for operating system dominance in the nineties, which was fought between Apple and Microsoft and of course, Amiga with Microsoft coming out on top, Apple won the war for mobile in the two thousands, but it's not guaranteed they're going to win the VR War.

The best part of Zuck's video is at the end when he talks about closed ecosystems.

Look, I know that, you know, some fan boys get upset whenever anyone dares to question if Apple is going to be the leader in a new category.

But the reality is is that every generation of computing has an open and a closed model.

And yeah in Mobile Apple's closed model one, but it's not always that way if you go back to the PC era Microsoft's open model was the winner.

And in this next generation meta is going to be the open model.

And I really want to make sure that the open model wins out again.

The bottom line here though is that Vrar just kind of sucks for the average person.

Nobody wants to live life with a giant headset strapped to their face.

And that's why I'm bearish on VR but bullish on brain chips.

This has been the code report.

Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next one.
