Ooh, dating/meat-market glasses; those'll go over well. Folks good for buying an attractive person a drink will be flagged, tramp stamps will show up on people's foreheads, etc.
Yup, walk into a store, your projected purchasing power (not to mention history) is overlaid on all sales and security associates glasses so they all know with just a glance if you're a customer who likes sales help, knows what they're after, just browsing, or looking for five-finger discounts.
Same thing will occur in school. Teachers and administration will get a quick graphical label of what kind of student you are.
Nope, everyone who's ever purchased anything at any time from Apple is obviously a handlebar mustached, penny-farthing riding, latte sipping esthete with too much money and no knowledge of anything related to computers. They don't even open the boxes they bought but just show them off at fancy parties, with everyone gathered around their $5000 dollar coffee table and sound like the dad from Wild Thornberries.
They also misinterpreted what they saw. Jobs thought that he saw overlapping windows and insisted that the Apple engineers figure out a way to do this. Later on, they found out that Xerox stuff didn't do overlapping windows. So Apple did manage to code something new. Once. But it's not like they got OS source code from Xerox, so they could write a GUI app and then incorporated some of that code in Mac OS.
I was a crew chief as an E-3. All the flight line mechanics assigned to a particular plane were crew chiefs. There were also the Ute guys who drove the utes and the hanger mechanics, who specialized in systems.
Yeah, was a KC-135a crew chief. On flight up to Alaska, after a phase inspection, we lost left hydraulic pressure when landing. Another tech jumped up and hit the crossover switch and dumped right system out. Had to manually crank down gear (and rock plane to get it to lock in place). Landed ok (with crash trucks and such all lined up/ready). Turned out, mechanic in phase inspection had left off two hydraulic line clamps. It vibrated in flight, came apart and we had some fun. But yeah, we've been kept out at a plane for 8 hours to find a missing pair of pliers (left inside wing fuel tank) or screw driver (dry bay location). Total PitA but definitely needed to keep these things up in the air.
Yeah, wife shut me down when I wanted cool kid names like Agamemnon, Odysseus, or Menelaus and Penelope, Briseis, or Klytamnestra. Sigh. Mary it was (in an obscure Semitic dialect of the 3rd C. BC).
Exactly! Caterpillars shutting down their Canadian plant and moving production to Muncie, Indiana because they can pay labor half what they pay up in Canadia. Someone should let Apple know about Muncie.
Well, except for the manufacturing in China where they can roust 3000 workers from their mandatory company bunk houses and put them to work in the middle of the night. You'd think, with all this profit, they could afford to make stuff in the west and still be able to pay the bills and hand out stock dividends.

In your universe, maybe. Who's to say we don't all create our own universi when consciousness develops?

So... you're saying they have really good editing skills?

Slight quibble: iTunes Store.
iTunes software was some music organizer application they bought and rebranded.

I have a copy of How to Lie with Maps somewhere.
So my kid's Lego Robotics club at elementary school is just a pre-enlistment test?

I sold my 60 odd shares of apple when they hit $19/share. Sigh.
No, no, no, you're doin' it all wrong. It's Apple is beleaguered! .
Kids these days.
Exctly!
