California State University Long Beach’s Shark Lab has documented just how close and how often juvenile white sharks are approaching swimmers and surfers off the Southern California coast.Researchers used drones to document the activity across 26 Southern California beaches for two years.They often found young white sharks coming very close to people and the people never even noticing.The good news: In all the interactions they documented, researches didn’t find any shark bites.The sharks are currently flocking to Carpinteria in Santa Barbara County and Del Mar in San Diego County, where 20 interactions a day were documented, researchers said.In some cases, a shark came within 60 feet of a swimmer or surfer.Several sharks swim near the Southern California shore in this undated photo.

Is there really a market for a $3,500 Apple headset?

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 15:13:57 GMT

Shares of tech giant Apple fell about 1% Monday despite a slew of product announcements, including a $3,500 headset for augmented and virtual reality.What is Wall Street saying about the company's much-anticipated new gadget?Best guess, traders are wondering who this product is for. At $3,500, it doesn't seem to be targeting gamers, who many tech analysts have long said would be at the forefront of virtual-reality adoption.It also doesn't seem to be pitched as a revolution in home entertainment. Anyone who can afford the hefty price tag of Apple's Vision Pro headset probably already has a state-of-the-art home-theater setup.So who is this for? Developers? OK, fine. But that's not nearly a large enough market to justify the millions that went into creating the device.So that's one question mark.Another is whether there's much interest in, or need for, augmented and virtual reality. Facebook parent Meta has invested billions into getting this market off the ground, and so far has noth...
