188jili cc register The wearable technology market race ended in massive disappointment for Apple in 2024, as Tim Cook's $3,500 Vision Pro headset struggled to gain traction. Meanwhile, interest in Meta's affordable smart Ray-Bans surged. Affordability has been a key factor driving consumers toward Meta's glasses. "I tried on the Ray-Ban Meta glasses yesterday om Oxford's Westgate, and was broadly impressed and could see myself using them for dogwalking podcasts, morning conference calls, or skiing, or biking, not convinced by how much I will use the photos or AI functionality to find nearest Pret or Starbucks," Goldman's Jack McFerran wrote in a note. confession Ray-Ban | Meta glasses are pure fire The directional audio is surprisingly good, taking calls, voice control for photos and video capture 🤯 we don’t have Meta AI in europe yet, but I can imagine that being perfect Bullish on the form factor/ approach pic.twitter.com/nRj5kqOVj7 The meta ray bans are honestly such a beautiful product You capture candid moments that are impossible to get when you’re holding a camera or phone in someone’s face In LA for my friends wedding and happened to be recording when dapping up the groom Just a pure and wholesome... pic.twitter.com/GvxfHJvwoU Having too much fun with these Ray-Ban Meta Glasses POV winning Pool games in Poland last night 💥👊🏽 pic.twitter.com/BIz6G4HnKz Using app download data from Sensor Tower, McFerran found downloads of the core 'Meta View' companion app happened at over 200% YoY (in October) . On Meta's website, the smart Ray-Ban glasses are priced between $300 and $379—a stark difference from Apple's $3,500 Vision Pro. While the Ray-Ban glasses are essentially just classic Wayfarer frames with a camera and speakers overlaid with an LLM, and lack actual AR/VR capabilities, consumers seem willing to go this route in favor of affordability. Meta is winning the wearable tech game when compared with Apple. And we know why... Before putting on these glasses, remember that Meta's Mark Zuckerberg cannot be trusted, even as he appears to be cozying up to Trump .McKeithan shot 10 of 19 from the field, including 3 for 6 from 3-point range, and went 5 for 5 from the line for the Explorers (6-2).

The big tree in Rockefeller Center. Ice skating in Central Park. The Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. All those lavish, holiday-themed department store window displays. This is the iconic New York tourists come to see. Visitors know it well from movies and television. But millions of New Yorkers experience these remarkable sights in a different way. For them, this is home. Those department stores might be where they shop for presents. That famous rink might be where they take their kid to skate after school. Over several weeks, Associated Press photographer Julia Nikhinson found ways to document both the familiar and unfamiliar sides of the holiday season in the city. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. She found storybook images, like neighborhood carolers and an urban garden ablaze with light, while also capturing the city’s weirder side, including a holiday-themed burlesque show, a guy who roams the city impersonating a Christmas tree and an invasion of hard-drinking Santas. And she photographed some of the ways a New York Christmas is different, like carrying a tree home under your arm after work because you don’t own a car. Advertisement Advertisement

By Denny Jacob , Reporter Intuit Chief Executive Sasan Goodarzi doesn’t expect president-elect ’s incoming administration to build a free tax-filing app that would interfere with its business. Intuit reiterated its full-year guidance as it reported fiscal first-quarter earnings Thursday, but shares fell 5% after hours when the company guided for a weaker-than-expected second quarter. Shares for the tax-preparation software maker fell this week, along with those of competitor , after The Washington Post reported that leaders overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency discussed creating a mobile app for Americans to file their taxes for free with the Internal Revenue Service.When Katja Vogt considers a Jaguar, she pictures a British-made car purring confidently along the Italian coastline — a vision of familiarity that conveys “that dreaming, longing feeling we all love.” She’s not sure what to think about Jaguar now after the 89-year-old company announced a radical rebranding this week that featured loud colors and androgynous people — but no cars. Jaguar, the company says, will now be JaGUar. It will produce only electric vehicles beginning in 2026. And say goodbye to British racing green, Cotswold Blue and black. Its colors are henceforth electric pink, red and yellow, according to a video that has received backlash online. Its mission statement: “Create exuberance. Live vivid. Delete ordinary. Break moulds.” “Intrigued?” @Jaguar posted on social media. “Weird and unsettled” is more like it, Vogt wrote on Instagram. “Especially now, with the world feeling so dystopian,” the Cyprus-based brand designer wrote, “a heritage brand like Jaguar should be conveying feelings of safety, stability, and maybe a hint of rebellion — the kind that shakes things up in a good way, not in a way that unsettles.” Our brands, ourselves Jaguar, a sturdy symbol of British tradition and refinement, was one of several iconic companies that announced significant rebrandings in recent weeks, upending a series of commercial — and, yes, cultural — landmarks by which many modern human beings sort each other, carve out identities and recognize the world around them. Campbell’s , the soupy, 155-year-old American icon immortalized in pop culture decades ago by Andy Warhol, is ready for a new, soupless name . Comcast’s corporate reorganization means that there will soon be two television networks with “NBC” in their name — CNBC and MSNBC — that will no longer have any corporate connection to NBC News, a U.S. legacy news outlet. One could even argue that the United States itself is rebranding a bit with the election this month of former President Donald Trump and Republican majorities in the House and Senate in a divided nation. Unlike Trump’s first election in 2016, he won the popular vote in what many called a national referendum on American identity. Are we, then, the sum total of our consumer decisions — what we buy, where we travel and whom we elect? Certainly, it’s a question for those privileged enough to be able to afford such choices. But volumes of research in the art and science of branding — from “brandr,” an old Norse word for burning symbols into the hides of livestock — say those factors do contribute to the modern sense of identity. So rebranding, especially of heritage names, can be a deeply felt affront to consumers. “It can feel like the brand is turning its back on everything that it stood for — and therefore it feels like its turning its back on us, the people who subscribe to that idea or ideology,” said Ali Marmaduke, strategy director with the Amsterdam-based Brand Potential. He said cultural tension — polarization — in 2024 is surging over politics, wars in Russia and the Mideast, the environment, public health and more, creating what Marmaduke said is known as a “polycrisis:” the idea that there are several massive crises converging and that feel scary and complex. “People are understandably freaked out by that,” he said. “So we are looking for something that will help us navigate this changing, threatening world that we face.” Trump’s “Make America Great Again” qualifies. So did President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” slogan atop his legislative plan. And Campbell’s soup itself — “Mmm Mmm Good” — isn’t going anywhere, its CEO, Mark Clouse, said in a statement. The company’s new name, Campbell’s Co., will reflect “the full breadth of our portfolio,” which for some time has included brands like Prego pasta sauce and Goldfish crackers. | When Jaguar is not a sleek movie-star car, what is it? None of the recent activity around heritage brands has sparked a backlash as ferocious as Jaguar’s. It’s a company that has stood as a pillar of tradition-loving British identity since World War II. The rebrand, which includes a new logo, is slated to launch Dec. 2 during Miami Art Week, when the company will unveil a new electric GT model. Jaguar said in its press release that its approach was rooted in the philosophy of its founder, Sir William Lyons, to “copy nothing.” What it’s calling “the new Jaguar” will overhaul everything from the font of its name to the positioning of it’s famous “leaper” cat. “Exuberant modernism” will “define all aspects of the new Jaguar world,” according to the press release. The approach is thought to be aimed at selling fewer cars at a six-figure price point to a more diverse customer base. The reaction, though, ranged from bewilderment to hostility. Memes sprouted up likening the video to the Teletubbies, a Benetton ad and — perhaps predictably — a bow to “woke” culture as the blowback intersected with politics. “Grace. Space. Pace. That’s what you are supposed to be about,” tweeted @JonnyHorsepower. “I don’t know what the hell this ad (?) is about.” Replied @Jaguar, cryptically: “These are our Strikethroughs. Deliberate, graphical and linear.” A Spectator headline declared that the Jaguar rebrand is “doomed” and that it had “killed a British icon.” But wait: “What if the rebrand turns out to be just a huge mockery of ‘woke’ rebrands?” wondered Bennie1289 on Reddit. Marketing and branding designers pointed out that any rebrand should, at least, be easy for consumers to remember and understand. JaGUar stumbled over that test on Day 1. “Correction, November 19th,” read a blurb under an article in The Verge. “A previous version of this article said only the ‘G’ and ‘U’ letters in Jaguar are upper case. The ‘J’ is also upper case.” —Laurie Kellman, Associated Press The application deadline for Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards is Friday, December 6, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

Jim Goodwin’s side kept the Scottish Premiership leaders at bay at Tannadice on Sunday with a well-organised performance, becoming only the second side to take points off the league leaders this season. Gallagher played his part at the heart of the Terrors’ defence but admitted the focus soon moved to McDiarmid Park on Thursday. He said: “The protein bars were brought out in the changing room. That’s the first time I’ve seen them this season. So we are definitely concentrating on the St Johnstone game. “The recovery starts now and it’s a good group of boys in there. They know now that they have to go home, rest and recover. Read more: “We are in a good place for the games coming up, absolutely. If you looked at this game most people would say it’s a free hit and they were coming here to run over the top of us. “But the fact that we started well and took a point is excellent for us. “Now we just need to look forward and try and pick up as many points as we can in this tough period. “At the end of the day it’s still a draw. I know it’s against Celtic but it’s still a draw and only a point. “We just want to kick on and try and get another three points against St Johnstone. So it all has to be fully focused on that. It was a great result and we know that. But we don’t get too carried away with it. “After last weekend (4-3 defeat by Motherwell), it was basically about getting back to basics. But it’s hard to get back to basics when you’re playing a team with such movement. “You need to be mentally on your game and physically on your game. But the boys were excellent. It was good to get another clean sheet and to get it against a team that have scored against everybody this season was pleasing.”
