Podcast appearances and mentions of ray ban

In this episode of The Brainstorm, Sam, Nick, and Brett unpack Meta Connect, where Muse quietly replaced the metaverse as Zuckerberg's vision for the company. Nick walks through the hardware spread, from audio-only Ray-Bans with no camera, to a 100 gram VR headset at $1,300 that outspecs the Vision Pro at a third of the price, to the Muse Charm, a Tamagotchi-style agent device shipping for the holidays. Brett argues the real target was never virtual reality (VR) but Apple, and that loosening the smartphone's grip is worth more to Meta than any single device. Nick counters that the three things people actually do on their phones are untouched by any of it, and that Meta should just build a phone. Plus whether consumer agents arrived a graphical processing unit (GPU) generation too early, and why owning the consumer may be the best dollar Meta can spend and the one Wall Street would hate most.Key Points From This Episode:Why Meta's $1,300 headset outspecs the Vision Pro, and why that may not matter if nobody wants VRHow agent devices erode Apple's ecosystem lock-in without ever replacing the smartphoneWhy consumer agents may take five years to monetize, and which balance sheets can fund the gapIf you know ARK, you know we focus on long-term innovation.

Somna, har du provat att gå ut med 3D-glasögon på dig? Sådana man får på bio. Besvikelsen när man upptäcker att allting redan är 3D. Att det bara är precis som vanligt, fast lite mörkare.Innan jag skulle spela in tänkte jag köpa en färdigrätt till lunch. Jag hade solglasögon på mig, mina bästa. Jag köpte ett par skitdyra Ray-Ban när jag hade fyrtioårskris, i tron att hela mitt liv skulle förändras. Ibland blir jag förvånad över hur de har hängt med sedan dess. Annars tappar jag ofta bort saker, nycklar, kepsar och förhållanden. När jag gick in på Ica glömde jag att jag hade dem på mig. Jag märkte att jag inte såg någonting, men jag fattade inte varför. En kvinna sprang före mig i kön och jag suckade. När det blev min tur ställde kassörskan min vara precis framför mig, och jag hittade den inte, för jag såg så dåligt med solglasögonen på. Sedan satt jag i bilen och lyssnade på Laleh, Min stund på jorden, och kom på att jag haft dem på mig hela tiden. Då brast det och jag började gråta.Jag var på kräftskiva i helgen och drack en kopp kaffe på kvällen och tänkte "nu kommer jag inte kunna sova". När jag kom hem la jag mig på kudden och tänkte att då får det vara så. Det var ingen katastrof, och så somnade jag. Vad är det egentligen som gör att vi drömmer? På gymnasiet hade jag en kompis som sa att han kunde styra sina drömmar på beställning. Han tittade på sina händer och insåg att han drömde. Jag blev så avundsjuk, för det ville jag också. Jag försökte och försökte och har aldrig lyckats. Ärligt talat tror jag att han ljög för att vara märkvärdig. Men det ligger något i det där, att man när man somnar går in i något helt skyddslöst. För övrigt vill jag tacka Laleh. Tack för att du finns.Tänk att musik kan släppa loss så mycket känslor som vi bär på, obearbetade. Det spelar ingen roll om robotarna tar över allt, vi kommer ändå alltid samlas för att spela, sjunga och dansa ihop. Harriet visade mig en TikTok om hur folk levde innan den agrara revolutionen. Många tänker att det var då det gick åt skogen för oss människor, och i klippet skulle de visa hur bra det var innan man hade jobb. En stenåldersmänniska vaknar, sippar kokosdrink och undrar vad hon ska hitta på idag. Vi kom fram till att det var en väldigt tillrättalagd bild. Människan kommer inte från aporna, vi är aporna. Vi och aporna har en gemensam förfader som gick omkring på jorden för ungefär sex miljoner år sedan, och den var ingen schimpans, ingen bonobo och ingen orangutang. Ännu längre tillbaka finns en liten råttliknande varelse med lång nos och svans, som kröp omkring för sjuttio miljoner år sedan, under den tid då oljan vi kör bil på fortfarande var djur och växter och svampar.Det här är min stund på jorden. Tack Laleh. Tack Somna. Sov gott.Mer från Somna med Henrik: https://somnamedhenrik.se/Mer om Henrik: https://www.henrikstahl.se/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Facial recognition is everywhere now. It's in surveillance cameras; it's soon going to be in Meta's RayBan pervert glasses, and some students already did that. You now have massively viral accounts that take clips of people, run them through facial recognition software, and then post their name and other personal info for everyone to see. We haven't fully come to terms with what it means to live in a world where anyone can basically dox anyone else now. To talk through this, Joseph spoke to Kashmir Hill. She's a reporter at the New York Times, and the author of Your Face Belongs to Us: A Tale of AI, a Secretive Startup, and the End of Privacy.

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show as Allison, Brian, David, and Jeanine gather around the campfire to discuss the latest tech news and usual nonsense.   But before you listen go and get the That Real Blind Tech show iOS app. What are you waiting for? Grab it here.   After disclosing way to much personal information about someone, we kick the show off discussing the return of the Brooklyn Sewer Men, and of course Brian has a very interesting conspiracy people about all of it.   And we are only five weeks out from the 19th annual Laugh For Sight at Gotham Comedy club go get your tickets here.    Google is getting ready to send an A.I. not a Super Intelligence satellite up in to space next week. We ask what could go wrong?   Then we're talking baseball, and Dummy Hoy, Baseball's first deaf pioneer and the push to get Mr. Hoy in to the Baseball Hall of Fame.   We then dive in to our thoughts and review of iOS 27 and the issues that some of us have been having with the new operating system. Brian starts with an awful review of his experiences with the new Siri. Jeanine then dives in to her experiences with iOS 27. Brian then brings up the massive security issue in iOS 27, the entering of your password with VoiceOver and being told the wrong number of characters entered. Next up Brian discusses the disaster that Downcast has become in iOS 27. And then there's the Notification Center, yuck.   Jeanine then gives us her thoughts of Mac OS golden Gate.        The long rumored Apple Home Pod is rumored to be arriving next month. Would you want Siri runninng your household?   The article title says CahtGPT's Voice mode is getting some big upgrades, yet we couldn't find anything big about this at all.   The Colonel, Bernie Sanders is proposing the elimination of the development of all Super Intelligence and jail time for people who do develop it. And yes, we hate the usage of Super Intelligence.   Remember the Rabbit R1? We do, well now you no longer need the defunct device to run their software.   Meta launched Muse their new A.I. about a month ago, it caught some of us by surprise, we're hearing it's not bad, and that it is currently the most downloaded app in the App Store. Allison then fills us in on what she has been using Muse for and how it has worked.   Brian then dives in with a disappointing new UI design of Claude.   Muse did not get off to a banging start on the Mac as it launched with a one click vulnerability. Is that bad?   At Meta Connect, Zuckerberg ignored all the idiot Privacy Wonkers out there, made us happy.   Meta announced the new Meta Ray Ban Perv Gen 3 starting at $249.   Meta then announced a pair of cameraless Ray Bans, and on behalf of That Real Blind Tech show, if you know a blind person that buys these, please slap them on our behalf.      Meta then closed with the announcement of the Meta A.I. Charm, and since these devices will be able to communicate with other Charms, and will have cameras, Privacy Wonkers must be spiraling even more.   And it's more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, go download our new That Real Blind Tech show app, and please for the love of all that is holy, rate and review us here.    you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com    join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow

Meta's Muse launch turned a consumer AI agent into a CPU demand story, a new round of frontier model releases sharpened the fight over token economics, and AMD crossed the trillion-dollar mark on the same compute thesis. Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break down Meta Connect, Qualcomm's agentic-device push, the AI policy debate, and whether Meta has finally cracked mainstream AI wearables. The handpicked topics for this week are: 1. Meta Connect Turns Muse Into a Cross-Device Agent Platform: Meta used its developer conference to extend Muse, its consumer AI agent, across new Ray-Ban audio glasses, a camera-equipped version, and a palm-sized Muse Charm device. Patrick Moorhead tested Muse himself, booking and updating appointments and pricing airline tickets, and called its computer-use capability the real unlock. Daniel Newman pointed to a download pace faster than ChatGPT's and roughly 700,000 daily users, and argued Meta's bigger opportunity is taking a small cut of the transactions agents complete, since only 2% to 3% of consumers pay for AI today. Newman added that Futurum had raised its 2030 forecast for AI CPU revenue from $110 billion to $250 billion days before the launch, and expects to revise it again. (The Decode) 2. Qualcomm Builds Out the Agentic-Device Stack at Snapdragon Summit: In Maui, Qualcomm moved from one flagship smartphone chip to two and introduced an audio chip that lets earbuds and glasses connect over Wi-Fi without a phone, a move Daniel Newman read as a direct shot at Apple. Newman also flagged a new seven-year patent license with Apple and the acquisition of a robotics software company built around the open-source MoveIt platform. Patrick Moorhead focused on how Qualcomm's core technologies, including HBC stacking and modular designs, scale from wearables to hyperscale data centers, arguing that volume across billions of chips could give Qualcomm a cost advantage despite a projected 1% to 2% data center share in 2029. (The Decode) 3. Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol and Luna, and Grok 4.7 Intensify the Model Race: Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI all shipped new models within days of each other. Patrick Moorhead cited Signal65 research he says shows Anthropic's newest model using roughly three times the output tokens of its top rivals to reach correct answers, which he tied to Anthropic's compute constraints, and noted OpenAI cut Sol pricing by up to 50%. Daniel Newman shared that one Fortune 100 company spending $200 million a year with Anthropic plans to cut that by about 75% by shifting workloads to open-source and on-device models. Newman argued the race is far from settled, with OpenAI, Meta, Google, and xAI all showing momentum, and that the labs that locked in compute early are best positioned to stay on the frontier. (The Decode) 4. AI Alarmism Meets Policy as Jensen Huang Rejects Extinction Risk: The push to rename AI "superintelligence" and a proposal from Sen. Bernie Sanders to ban superintelligence development kept the policy debate heated, while Jensen Huang said there is zero chance of AI causing human extinction. Daniel Newman warned that viral safety headlines rarely get corrected once they spread. Patrick Moorhead argued the tech industry lost control of the message by emphasizing job loss and danger without making the case for AI's benefits or explaining what losing the race to China would actually mean. (The Decode) 5. U.S.-China Talks Produce Pageantry but No Chip Agreements: President Xi's U.S. visit brought parades and a high-profile dinner with technology leaders, but Patrick Moorhead noted no agreements on chips or chip exports. He pointed to a two-month extension announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and farm purchase commitments, with Taiwan at the top of China's agenda. Both hosts noted the most concrete shared outcome was agreement on what to call AI. (The Decode) 6. The Flip: Has Meta Cracked Mainstream AI Wearables Without Full AR?: Patrick Moorhead argued yes, pointing to audio-only Ray-Bans that look like ordinary glasses, Muse's connected tools, and a lighter camera version, after 14 years of failed attempts across the category. Daniel Newman countered that Meta cracked the agent and its distribution to 3 billion users, not the wearable, since Muse demand shows up in the phone's app store and people will still want to review purchases on a screen before committing money. Both hosts said they plan to buy the new glasses. Note: The Flip assigns Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman opposing sides of a debate, positions argued are not necessarily their own views. (The Flip) 7. Intel ($INTC) Rallies as Muse Fuels CPU Demand Optimism: Patrick Moorhead explained that Muse assigns each user a virtual machine running on AMD EPYC processors, a CPU-heavy design that lifted Intel, AMD, and Arm. Intel gained between 10% and 15% on the news and is up about 40% for the month, while Arm is up roughly 30%. Daniel Newman noted Intel can currently meet only about half of the demand for its CPUs, and tied much of the enthusiasm to its foundry business, which he said could become worth twice the company's current value as TSMC capacity stays constrained. (Bulls and Bears) 8. AMD ($AMD) Joins the Trillion-Dollar Club: AMD became the latest chipmaker to reach a $1 trillion valuation, with shares near $650 and within reach of a price target Daniel Newman had set for 2028. Newman said the market is treating AMD as having everything to gain and NVIDIA as having everything to lose, while Signal65 testing shows each wins depending on the workload and software stack. Patrick Moorhead, who spent 11 years at AMD, credited Lisa Su and the team but called the valuation rich, noting AMD has competed against NVIDIA's scale-up systems without its own scale-up design until Helios, which has not yet shipped for revenue.

Meta's Muse AI agent is cute (sometimes caked-up) and it performs well as a productivity tool. And, if you give it access to your social media and e-mail, it can know basically everything about you. This week on The Vergecast, Nilay Patel, Jake Kastrenakes and David Imel give their reactions to Mark Zuckerberg's demos at Wednesday's Meta Connect keynote. They also talk about the new glasses hardware, including the new VR glasses and audio-only, camera-free Ray-Bans.Then, we take a look at the newly-announced, chimeric Chrome/Android hybrid Googlebooks, find out why Brendan Carr is a dummy this week, analyze the Paramount merger, discuss what YouTube's A/B video testing means for the increasingly tenuous concept of a shared reality, and end on a surprisingly heartwarming story about RODECaster 4K support.

Cortney Harding steps in as guest co-host this week, joining Charlie to unpack a genuinely strong Meta Connect, new occluded VR glasses aimed squarely at the Vision Pro, a camera-free Ray-Ban, and Muse AI's surprise climb to the top of the app stores. From there, the conversation turns to Disney's newly created CTO role, the quiet fate of its big-money bets on Epic Games and Sora, and Jeffrey Katzenberg's open letter arguing entertainment has always been a technology business. They close out the news with a sharp exchange on Amazon's push into drone delivery and a pointed critique of DraftKings' use of AI to target its most engaged, and most vulnerable, customers.Simon Horsman and Daniel Wood, co-founders of Quilty.app, join to talk about building an AI-powered script coverage tool for screenwriters who have no access to Hollywood's traditional gatekeepers. The two walk through how Quilty scores a script the way a studio story analyst would, the leaderboard system built to surface strong writing, and a striking real-world comparison Simon shares from his years running a film fund: a big-budget historical epic north of $220 million versus a hybrid AI production covering similar ground for under a million dollars. The conversation closes with how Quilty is trying to connect writers directly to producers in a system that's traditionally shut most people out.Key Moments: [01:35] A confident, glitch-free Meta Connect and what it signals [11:35] Disney creates a company-wide CTO role, hired from Character AI [13:35] The quiet status of Disney's Epic Games and Sora deals [15:35] Jeffrey Katzenberg's open letter on tech and entertainment [19:35] The backlash brewing over Amazon's drone delivery push [21:35] DraftKings, AI, and the ethics of targeting engaged gamblers [24:35] Simon Horsman and Daniel Wood join to introduce Quilty.app [30:35] A real budget comparison: $220M studio epic vs. under $1M hybrid AI film [34:35] How Quilty scores scripts and connects writers to producersBrought to you by Zappar and Mattercraft, the leading visual development environment for immersive 3D web experiences.

La littérature face aux détecteurs d'IA · Meta dévoile une avalanche de nouvelles lunettes connectées · Muse veut transformer l'IA en véritable assistant personnel · Les patrons d'OpenAI et d'Anthropic alertent sur les risques de l'IA tout en lançant de nouveaux modèles · Mon Carnet fête ses 10 ans.Avec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)===============Un roman peut-il encore être « authentiquement » humain ?L'affaire Thélison Aurélien relance le débat sur l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle dans la littérature, après des accusations selon lesquelles son roman aurait été largement généré par IA. Au cœur de la polémique, les détecteurs d'IA comme Pangram, dont les résultats peuvent constituer une alerte mais pas une preuve absolue, et une question plus large : jusqu'où un écrivain peut-il utiliser l'IA sans remettre en cause la responsabilité et l'intention qui fondent son œuvre ?Meta veut réinventer les lunettes connectéesÀ l'occasion de Meta Connect, Meta a présenté une impressionnante gamme de nouvelles lunettes et dispositifs connectés. Parmi les annonces, un casque léger de réalité mixte, de nouvelles Ray-Ban sans caméra davantage centrées sur l'audio, ainsi que les Ray-Ban Display qui doivent désormais arriver au Canada, au Royaume-Uni et en France.Muse, l'agent IA qui veut agir à votre placeBruno Guglielminetti raconte son expérience de Muse, présenté par Meta comme un agent personnel capable de proposer spontanément des tâches et d'effectuer certaines opérations sur Internet. L'agent dispose de son propre environnement informatique et peut désormais, sur Mac, intervenir directement sur l'ordinateur de l'utilisateur, ouvrant la voie à une nouvelle génération d'assistants capables d'agir plutôt que de simplement répondre.Meta veut mettre l'IA partoutAvec Muse, les lunettes connectées et un petit dispositif baptisé Muse Charm, Meta cherche à installer l'intelligence artificielle dans les usages quotidiens plutôt qu'à la cantonner aux conversations avec un chatbot. Cette stratégie s'appuie sur l'immense écosystème de Meta et pourrait donner à des centaines de millions d'utilisateurs un accès direct à des agents capables d'agir pour eux.L'IA doit-elle ralentir ?Sam Altman et Dario Amodei se sont exprimés devant les Nations Unies pour appeler à une coopération internationale et à un cadre mondial destiné à encadrer les risques liés à l'intelligence artificielle. Un discours qui contraste avec l'accélération permanente du secteur, alors qu'Anthropic et OpenAI continuent parallèlement de présenter de nouveaux modèles toujours plus puissants.Mon Carnet fête ses 10 ansBruno Guglielminetti annonce une émission spéciale de Mon Carnet consacrée aux dix années d'évolution de la technologie et aux grandes transformations vécues durant cette décennie. L'équipe au complet se joint à lui pour revenir sur cette histoire, avec Jérôme Colombain également de la partie.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Meta está preparando unas Ray-Ban sin cámara. Mi excusa perfecta para hablar de por qué las gafas con cámara generan rechazo: no es la tecnología sino quién paga el riesgo. * * * Loop Infinito, podcast de Xataka, de lunes a viernes a las 7:00 (hora peninsular española).

Sie sieht aus wie eine gewöhnliche Ray-Ban, fotografiert, filmt, telefoniert, übersetzt und lässt sich per Sprachbefehl mit Künstlicher Intelligenz verbinden. Die Ray-Ban Meta macht vieles einfacher – und wirft zugleich eine unbequeme Frage auf: Was passiert, wenn eine Kamera so selbstverständlich wird, dass man sie kaum noch als solche wahrnimmt?

Conor Byrne hosts another “Singles” episode with Bella and Ed from Tracksuit, using brand tracking data to unpack the biggest marketing stories of the moment—what's genuinely driving brand growth, what's just noise, and where brands are taking real risks. From Monzo's bold “Get Busy Living” brand campaign in a fiercely competitive banking market, to the clever Heinz x Heineken collaboration built for summer BBQ culture, they explore how creativity and brand equity show up in the metrics.

Check then out on SHOPAssociation.orgToday, EPISODE 92… I talk with Anatoliy Korolenko who leads Real Estate and Development for Nespresso USA … This conversation is effectively based on a tour that we took of the Nespresso flagship store on 5th Ave. at the corner of 16th St. in New York. We cover a lot of ground about how a store is laid out how elements of storytelling merchandising experience and design and construction all come together to make memorable moments of relevant engagement.We'll get into all of that in a minute but first a few thoughts…I've been working in the world of retail design for more than 30 years and there are subjects that have been foundational to my early learning from my first employer Joe Weishar at New Vision Studios, which I've talked about before in previous episodes.Not often do you find most of them beautifully executed in one store. But that was exactly my impression when getting a tour of the Nespresso store on 5th Ave. Corner of 16th St. in New York.Nespresso was founded in 1986 as a Nestlé subsidiary after employee Eric Favre invented a single-serve pressurized coffee system inspired by a popular Roman espresso bar.Favre visited Rome's Sant'Eustachio café and observed how intermittent water pumping created superior aeration and crema, leading him to design a capsule-based extraction prototype.1986 Launch: Nespresso S.A. was officially founded, rolling out its first machine (the C-100) and four coffee blends targeting offices in Switzerland, Japan, and Italy with limited initial success…A Couple decades later Nespresso was a global coffee powerhouse and the company opened its first standalone boutique in Paris in 2000 and later enlisted actor George Clooney as the face of the brand in 2006 to drive global luxury appeal.Now it's great to have someone who is a famous face to help promote a brand but no matter what happens in terms of marketing and advertising if the store doesn't deliver on expectations you're still likely gonna be in trouble in growing your retail footprint.Nespresso sells a considerable amount of their product online but in order to drive brand love a deeper more physical experience is needed and that means store Has to deliver something special if people are making the effort to get off their couch and get on those sales floor.Well-considered physical touchpoints become critical in terms of how the customer journey unfolds and the experience that customers engage in and later talk about after visiting the physical location.People who work there need to be experts since customers are better informed now than they have ever been after deep searches on line .So when customers come in the associate needs to know more and be a welcoming host who acts as a bit of a stage manger who facilitates how the theatre of the store will unfold.Purpose of retail has moved beyond the simple acquisition of goods or services. Retail stores have acted as a place to exchange stories to learn about the news of the day and connect to brands whose ideological orientations you align with.We've clearly moved from a place where retail was transactional into an experience based economy and now as Joe Pine would put it, we have moved into a place call the Transformation Economy.Here, customers expect so much more than just the product or service they're paying for.Experiences need to leave customers with a sense of a transformation. Deeper, more lasting experiences customers engage in while in stores and the memories they leave with are not just a fun story to share, though that is often done too, but a way of seeing themselves perhaps in the world and in relation to that experience that deeply matter.And while it is true that an increasing volume of business is done online, getting a cardboard box delivered to your front door the next day just can't compare to the aroma of delicious coffee in an environment that delights your other senses as well.Sure, if you're interested in a commodity purchase, use an online resource and welcome the cardboard box. On the other hand if you're seeking something more, going to the store cannot be replaced.Of course, once you arrive at the store one of the key components will be interaction with other humans. An AI bot interaction through an online purchase that offers up more opportunities for other things to buy because other people also bought them too,is very different than being greeted with a smile by an expert who knows the world of their brand at both the customer and product level.If I've showed up at the store I'm looking for something more and I will suggest that it's the human interaction you get face-to-face with an sales associate that is one of the key drivers to great brand experiences in retail places.I've often thought of retail stores and hotels like theater performances.A stage with performers but with no audience is called a rehearsaland a theater with no performers is call an intermission.When performers and patrons come together in a place, magic happens. The energy changes and the exchange is much deeper.Actors live on audience feedback and audience members expect performers to bring them into an imagined world were time shifts and for that 2 hour block they are someplace else.The sales associate and customer interaction works much the same way the store then simply as a stage set for the stars of the show customers sales associates and let us not forget products. Everything you do inside the store is geared towards telling the story supporting the actors and audience members and bringing them along on the story that unfolds in chapters or acts.So it's not surprising when you walk into a store like the Nespresso flagship on 5th Ave. at the corner of 16th St. in New York, that the story of Nespresso so comprehensively and confidently comes alive.From interaction stations that are very analog where you can experience the aroma of various coffees from around the world and if you like, free of charge, create your own coffee drink pour it into real glassware that when held in your hand creates a sense of comfort and familiarity.Sure the Nespresso store cells great coffee in a number of variations but the flagship store does much more than that.It welcomes you into a world of surprise and delight where customers interact with both analog and digital touchpoints; where they learn about the making of coffee and Nespresso's extraordinary sustainability program and how their capsules are recycled.And then it takes you off of the main selling floor and allows you to descend the digitally enrobed case staircase walking “into the poor” to a members lounge that is not only for members… it is for everyone.This place is designed to be reminiscent of what your own home may be complete with vinyl record player, a coffee bar where you can pour yourself another - free of charge - drink and spend time simply relaxing or chatting with the throngs of people that seem to always being showing up daily after 5:00 PM.A lot of retailers and hotel brands push designed experiences through a cost benefit analysis.Naturally minding their dollars and trying to understand where intention is being placed to drive impact - which usually translates to thinking about construction cost, altering employment practices and policies, considering the long-term needs of digital content management and a host of other things.The problem is that that ROI spreadsheet often doesn't have other columns on it for the intangibles like Return on Innovation, Return on Creativity, Return on Novelty, Return on Experience and Return on Emotion,all of which have become increasingly important in an experience and transformation based economy.How do you put a number on the intangibles of surprise and delight and the body memory of an experience so well choreographed did it lose you thinking about it and sharing it with friends and family days later.And this is where this episode's guest Anatoly Korolenko comes into our story.Anatoliy currently leads Real Estate and Development for Nespresso USA, He is responsible for shaping the brand's U.S. retail footprint from market strategy and site selection through lease negotiations, design, construction, and ongoing portfolio optimization. His work combines consumer and market analytics with real estate economics to identify growth opportunities and translate brand strategy into high-performing physical retail environments.Throughout his career, he has focused on the intersection of real estate, customer experience, and business performance—building strategies that treat physical retail not simply as a distribution channel, but as an important driver of customer acquisition, brand engagement, and long-term growth.I caught up with Anatoly on a trip to New York where we found the space at the old Pentagram office off of Madison Park that was under renovation by the Porcelanosa company who was turning it into a beautiful new showroom.So, during our conversation we lived through some sounds of circular saws, scaffolding being dismantled and some jackhammers breaking up a floor.And what with it being New York there was the occasional ambulance siren that starts off in the distance and then tends to come up and park right below your window.All good. We made it through. And we just chalked it up to being part of the authentic and unvarnished experience...* * * *ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645 (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

"Top 2" - így válaszolt Henry Kissinger, amikor megkérdezték, hová tenné riválisát, Zbigniew Brzezinskit a nemzetbiztonsági tanácsadók rangsorában. Ha az USA a világ rendőre, akkor Doktor Kissinger a mindig kimért "Ray Tango", míg a szintén egyetemen tanító Brzezinski a lazább "Gabriel Cash", aki Ray-Ban napszemüvegben hirdette meg a szent háborút az Afganisztánt 1979-ben megszálló szovjetek ellen. Jimmy Carter demokrata elnökségének (1977-1981) külpolitikai stratégáját szokás "csak" afféle Salierinek tartani a nemzetközi kapcsolatok Mozartjához, Kissingerhez képest, pedig a történelem Brzezinskinek adott igazat kettejük vitájában. Míg a realista Kissinger azt vallotta, hogy az USA egy gyengülő, belső és külső problémákkal szembenéző birodalom, és ezért az enyhülési politika híveként a megegyezést szorgalmazta a szovjetekkel, kölcsönösen tiszteletben tartott nagyhatalmi érdekszférákra felosztva a világot, addig az idealistább Brzezinskinek lengyelként nem kellett a szomszédba - mondjuk a Balti-államokba - menni "ruszofóbiáért", és a megegyezés helyett a konfrontáció híve volt - ezzel előkészítve a Reagan-korszakot és a "Rambo III." világát.Brzezinski hitte, sőt, tudta, hogy a Szovjetunió sokkal gyengébb, mint amilyennek kívülről látszik, mivel már az egyetemi diplomamunkáját is a Szovjetunión belüli nemzetiségi ellentétekről írta: "nincs szovjet nyelv", és már a Szovjetunión belül se örvend teljes népszerűségnek az orosz dominancia, nemhogy Kelet-Európában. Erre építette a "fellazítás" politikáját, amely sikerre vezetett, többek között elintézve, hogy lengyel pápát válasszanak 1978-ban (antikommunista fegyverként felhasználva a katolicizmust). De Brzezinski nemcsak hidegháborús héja volt, hanem a posztindusztriális társadalmak elméletének egyik megalkotója a korát megelőző "Két korszak között" című 1970-es könyvével, amelyben bevezette a "technotrenikus társadalom" lényeglátó fogalmát. A politikától távolabb kerülve már nem a Fehér Házban, hanem a tévéstúdiókban adott tanácsokat, "A nagy sakktábla" című 1997-es könyve valósággal látnoki, mert többek között megállapítja benne, hogy Oroszország nem fogja a Nyugat felé elengedni Ukrajnát (mert anélkül nem birodalom), vagy hogy amennyiben az amerikai külpolitikai döntéshozók nem lesznek körültekintőek, akkor összeállhat egy orosz-kínai-iráni USA-ellenes tengely, amely "geopolitikai katasztrófa" lenne az Egyesült Államokra nézve, és a 2003-as iraki háborút is a kezdetektől ellenezte. Utódai sajnos nem hallgattak rá, pedig a 2017-ben, 89 évesen elhunyt "Zbig" nem véletlenül fejezte be úgy egyik utolsó interjúját: "Ne feledjék, ezt Brzezinski mondja!" Hogy mit, azt meghallgathatjátok a hidegháborús héjáról szóló adásunkban. Vendégünk az egyik visszatérő USA-szakértőnk, Baranyi Tamás, a Magyar Külügyi Intézet stratégiai igazgatója volt.A beszélgetés résztvevői:Balázsy IstvánBaranyi TamásCsunderlik PéterLaska PálA Régen minden jobb volt a Tilos Rádió történelmi-popkulturális műsora:https://www.facebook.com/regen.minden.jobb.volt

Premier Rob Jetten erkent dat honderden socialmediaberichten en speeches met hulp van AI zijn geschreven, maar zegt niet dat zijn geloofwaardigheid daardoor is aangetast. D66 benadrukt dat AI-kansen benut moeten worden met menselijke controle en transparantie, terwijl in het eigen verkiezingsprogramma juist wordt gepleit voor duidelijke labels bij AI-gegenereerde content. In Den Haag klinkt weinig openlijke verontwaardiging, maar het ongemak over persoonlijke politieke communicatie die door AI wordt gevormd, blijft voelbaar. Het aantal impactvolle treinstoringen komt dit jaar opnieuw boven het afgesproken maximum van 520 uit, meldt ProRail. Door een vollere dienstregeling raken verstoringen meer treinen, terwijl oorzaken variëren van weer en techniek tot dieren en aanrijdingen. ProRail wijst op datagedreven maatregelen tegen koperdiefstal en suïcides, maar waarschuwt dat extra investeringen in spooronderhoud nodig zijn nu het huidige budget slechts basiskwaliteit dekt. In Parijs benadrukken Emmanuel Macron en Ursula von der Leyen tijdens de Space Summit dat Europa meer moet samenwerken om een sterke ruimtevaartsector op te bouwen. Von der Leyen stelt dat alleen een gezamenlijk Europees optreden voldoende schaal en concurrentiekracht kan bieden tegenover landen als de VS, en wil regels versoepelen om innovatie sneller in bedrijvigheid en kapitaal om te zetten. Terwijl Franse verkiezingen naderen, probeert zij tegelijk CEO’s en Franse bedrijven nadrukkelijk aan het pro-Europese kamp te binden. De Consumentenbond roept in Nederland op tot een verbod op de nieuwe slimme brillen van Meta en Ray-Ban, die met een nauwelijks zichtbaar lampje ongezien kunnen filmen. Techjurist Lisette Meij wijst erop dat filmen in de openbare ruimte juridisch is toegestaan, maar dat de onzichtbaarheid en massale dataverzameling door Meta tot een groter privacyvraagstuk leiden. Volgens haar is het vooral een ethische discussie of de samenleving zulke ‘pervertbrillen’ wil accepteren, omdat een verbod op één type slimme bril de bredere opmars van verborgen camera’s niet zal stoppen.

Should smart glasses refuse to record the second someone covers the little recording light?Sandy starts Story We Love as Meta cracks down on tampered LEDs, while JB wants a forehead zoom lens so nobody can pretend. The bit turns practical fast: menus and hallway obstacles for an 84-year-old mom losing her sight, real-time language translation in Europe, and a wake-surf coach who still will not take dad's Meta advice.If you love The JB and Sandy Show, subscribe, leave a review, and share the episode.

The Meta glasses microphone problem finally has a fix, and it was buried in a settings menu the Adventurer model never showed. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece explain exactly where to find it, why it should have been on by default, and what else has changed across Meta's growing glasses lineup, including walking directions and spatial audio that only work on some models.There is also an honest conversation about the smart glasses privacy backlash, whether blind wearers should start policing where they wear a camera on their face, and whether Meta donating glasses to blind charities is cynical PR or a story worth telling.Steven opens with a delivery disaster involving a cracked desk, a one man Amazon collection van and a refund that left him paying someone to take the thing away. From there the show turns to the Meta glasses, where a software update has finally surfaced the microphone troubleshooting toggle for the Meta Adventurer model. It was always available on the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which never needed it. Turning it on resolves the muffled, inaudible calls that Steven and listener Gordon had been chasing for weeks. Shaun and Steven also compare notes on settings that reset themselves, the Meta AI app becoming harder to navigate, and the fact that these glasses are no longer one product with different frames. Walking directions have rolled out in the US and Canada, spatial audio is missing from the Ray-Bans, and only some models carry an action button.Richard from Louisiana calls back after his previous question about Bixby. He has stuck with TalkBack on his Samsung phone, describes it as an interrogation technique, and has been trying to connect Audible and iHeartRadio to his glasses without success. Shaun walks through where the connect button actually lives in the apps list. Richard also reports that Meta's walking navigation beats Google Maps in his neighbourhood, accurate enough that a left turn instruction lands within twenty counted steps. His wish to say "get me an Uber" to his glasses leads into a discussion of agentic AI, computer use tools already helping blind users fill in inaccessible web forms, and how long it might take Apple and Google to bring that to the phone.Gavin in Edinburgh raises the privacy question. He still wears his glasses, but swaps to Bose Frames around a pool and would never wear them near a changing room. That prompts a wider debate: Meta now blocks recording if the notification LED is covered, some people have drilled the light out entirely, and mainstream coverage keeps mentioning the benefit to visually impaired users. Steven argues the fear is running ahead of the evidence and says he has no plans to stop wearing them. The PR question follows, tied to a story from a recent Zero Project event about companies choosing a ramp outside a building over the accessibility work nobody can photograph.Along the way: Earshot, the VoiceOver-first podcast app from Michael Babcock, gets a thumbs up, Steven confesses to buying a tiny 3D printed VibeKeys keypad for vibe coding, and floats two future projects, a watch that tells you the time without a rooster, and Wi-Fi presence sensing to find the dog. The episode closes with Apple event predictions, recorded hours before the keynote.Chapters0:00 – Welcome to Double Tap0:48 – The broken desk and Amazon's odd fix10:12 – Falling out of love with the Meta glasses12:19 – The microphone fix for the Meta Adventurer17:48 – Walking directions, spatial audio and a splintering lineup19:36 – Earshot, app overload and the VibeKeys keypad24:30 – A talking watch and Wi-Fi presence sensing27:02 – Richard on TalkBack, Meta app connections and walking navigation32:03 – Learning a screen reader and the promise of agentic AI39:06 – Gavin on privacy, the LED and Scottish inventors44:45 – Would you stop wearing camera glasses?47:12 – Meta's PR and the ramp outside the building52:53 – Apple event predictionsHave the Meta glasses worked for you, or has the privacy conversation changed how you wear them?

De gegevens van 8,7 miljoen passagiers van een drietal Britse luchthavens zijn gelekt door cybercriminelen op het dark web. Het gaat om luchthavens die worden beheerd door de Manchester Airports Group (MAG). Het gaat onder andere om namen, emailadressen, telefoonnummers, locatiegegevens en kentekengegevens. Verder hoor je over hoe Noorwegen een verbod op slimme brillen met camera's overweegt. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Volgens MAG heeft het datalek geen invloed op processen en blijven de getroffen luchthavens zoals normaal functioneren. Ook zou de veiligheid van passagiers niet in gevaar zijn, volgens een statement op de website van MAG. Volgens cybersecurity-onderzoekers wisten de cybercriminelen binnen te komen via gelekte API-sleutels. Daarmee konden ze toegang krijgen tot de interne systemen van de luchthavens en gegevens stelen. MAG zegt contact opgenomen te hebben met getroffen passagiers en adviseert ze om in de gaten te houden of ze verdachte emails krijgen. Noorwegen overweegt om slimme brillen met camera's te verbiedenDe Noorse overheid overweegt om slimmem brillen met camera's in het montuur te verbieden. Dat heeft de Noorse minister Karianne Tung van Digitale Zaken gezegd tegen persbureau AFP. Ze is van plan om een expertgroep bijeen te roepen zodat er advies uitgebracht kan worden over wetgeving. Of er daadwerkelijk een totaalverbod op de brillen in Noorwegen komt is nog niet duidelijk. In de eerste instantie lijkt Noorwegen bepaalde functies zoals gezichtsherkenning te willen verbieden. Slimme brillen met camera's, zoals de brillen die Meta in samenwerking met RayBan maakt, zijn al langer in opspraak. Digitale rechtenorganisaties en overheden maken zich zorgen om de privacy van mensen, omdat ze vaak zonder dat ze het door hebben gefilmd kunnen worden door gebruikers van de slimme brillen. Gegevens van miljoenen passagiers van Britse luchthavens gelekt op dark web Noorwegen gaat gebruik van slimme brillen handhaven Over de maker:Niels Kooloos is dagelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio te horen over het laatste technieuws in de Tech Update.

The Privacy Commissioner's setting clear expectations around the use of smart glasses. The AI tech, including Meta's Ray-Ban and Oakley ranges, can record video, audio, and capture location data in real time. Michael Webster says we need to look at our legal framework to strike the right balance between its benefits and the harmful consequences. He told Mike Hosking they look like normal glasses, making it hard for people being filmed to object. Webster says users should ask themselves – would the person recorded find it creepy?

De Duitse digitale rechtenorganisatie Hate Aid heeft aangifte tegen Meta gedaan omdat de slimme AI-brillen van het bedrijf de Duitse privacywetgeving zouden schenden met hun ingebouwde camera's. Volgens voorzitter Josephine Ballon van Hate Aid is het moeilijk om te zien wanneer een gebruiker van een AI-bril van Meta iemand filmt en weet die persoon niet wat er vervolgens met de beelden gebeurt. Verder hoor je over de nieuwe generatie Pixel-telefoons van Google. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Hate Aid beroept zich op Duitse federale wetgeving die stelt dat men niet anderen mag filmen zonder dat ze dat door hebben. Daarnaast heeft de Duitse communicatietoezichthouder drie jaar geleden gezegd dat slimme brillen die in het geheim audio en video kunnen opnemen verboden zijn. De brillen van Meta laten het in principe wel zien als ze filmen, door middel van een lampje in het montuur dat aanspringt zodra de ingebouwde camera draait. Naast Meta, heeft Hate Aid ook aangifte tegen EssilorLuxottica en verschillende verkopers van de brillen gedaan. EssilorLuxottica is het moederbedrijf van Ray-Ban, dat de AI-brillen in samenwerking met Meta maakt. Meta heeft nog niet gereageerd op de aangifte. Ook in Nederland is er veel te doen om de brillen van Meta. Zo zijn ze al verboden in TivoliVredenburg en wil het CDA dat er onderzoek wordt gedaan naar een landelijk verbod. Google onthult de nieuwe generatie Pixel-telefoons Google heeft donderdag de nieuwe generatie Pixel-telefoons onthuld. Het gaat om de Pixel 11, de Pixel 11 Pro en de Pixel 11 Pro XL. De focus van Google ligt bij deze modellen minder op AI, maar meer op de hardware van de apparaten. Zo is de camera van de Pixel 11-lijn verbeterd met een gevoeligere lichtsensor en zijn de telefoons voorzien van de nieuwe Tensor G6-chip. Die is volgens Google een stuk krachtiger dan de Tensor G5, die in de Pixel 10-telefoons zit, hoewel er nog geen exacte specificaties over bekend zijn gemaakt. HateAid dient een strafrechtelijke aanklacht in tegen Meta vanwege slimme brillen TivoliVredenburg verbiedt camerabrillen voor sociale veiligheid Google onthult de Pixel 11-serie Over de maker:Niels Kooloos is dagelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio te horen over het laatste technieuws in de Tech Update.

OpenAI heeft de ontwikkeling van onderdelen van zijn nieuwe AI-model Astra deels stilgezet. Uit interne tests bleek dat het model volgens de maker van ChatGPT de eigen kritieke cyberveiligheidsdrempel kan bereiken: het zou zonder tussenkomst van een mens zelf kwetsbaarheden in digitale systemen kunnen vinden en uitbuiten. Het bedrijf werkt nu aan strengere veiligheidsmaatregelen. Verder groeit de maatschappelijke kritiek op de slimme brillen van Meta. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. OpenAI zegt niet te kunnen uitsluiten dat Astra de hoogste risicoklasse, aangeduid als critical, uit het eigen Preparedness Framework haalt. Zolang het bedrijf de veiligheid niet kan garanderen, worden interne activiteiten rond Astra stopgezet. Tegelijk zegt topman Sam Altman te willen werken aan een brede beschikbaarheid van het model, al duurt dat door de capaciteiten wat langer. Het bericht past in een reeks incidenten van deze zomer, waarbij modellen van OpenAI en Anthropic uit hun testomgeving ontsnapten. Zo drong een OpenAI-agent eerder de systemen van AI-platform Hugging Face binnen. Groeiende kritiek op slimme brillen van Meta De kritiek op de slimme brillen van Meta wordt luider. Vergelijkbare zorgen klonken al dertien tot veertien jaar geleden rond Google Glass, waarvan gebruikers spottend glassholes werden genoemd, maar dat bleef een klein prototype. Meta verkocht vorig jaar naar eigen zeggen zeven miljoen slimme brillen, ontwikkeld met merken als Ray-Ban en Oakley en met een samenwerking met Kylie Jenner. Met de brillen kun je filmen terwijl omstanders dat nauwelijks doorhebben. Er zit een ledlampje op dat opnames moet aangeven en dat volgens Meta niet te blokkeren is, maar toch melden mensen dat ze stiekem zijn gefilmd. Poppodium TivoliVredenburg stelde vorig jaar al een verbod in en Bits of Freedom riep op tot een totaalverbod in de openbare ruimte. Misbruik van slimme brillen volgens The Guardian The Guardian beschreef dit weekend hoe gebruikers van de brillen op onbedoelde reacties stuiten. Influencers en creatievelingen die zeggen leuke beelden te willen maken, worden door omstanders beschuldigd van het gebruik van pervert glasses. Een vrouw die aan promotie had meegewerkt, Rida Tharana, bood publiekelijk excuses aan. Daarnaast zijn er ernstiger gevallen. Zo vertelde een vrouw de BBC dat een man haar had gefilmd en vervolgens geld eiste om de video's te verwijderen, en beschreef een andere vrouw dat ze zonder toestemming tijdens seksueel contact was gefilmd. In Schotland loopt een onderzoek naar een extreemrechtse TikTokker die zich met de bril zou hebben gefilmd terwijl hij vrouwen en een winkelier ongevraagd benaderde. OpenAI zet ontwikkeling van Astra deels stil vanwege cyberveiligheidsdrempel Republikeinse aanklagers vragen OpenAI documenten over de Hugging Face hack te bewaren Anthropic meldt dat eigen modellen drie organisaties hackten tijdens tests The Guardian over mannen die met slimme brillen vrouwen heimelijk filmen Meta belooft harder op te treden tegen misbruik van de slimme brillen Over de maker:Joe van Burik volgt en duidt de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in tech, met scherpte, vlotheid en de nodige humor. Je hoort hem dagelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio over het belangrijkste technieuws, van AI tot cybersecurity en social media tot quantumcomputers.

With more than 7m pairs reportedly sold in 2025, Meta's Ray-Ban smartglasses are fast becoming the world's most popular new gadget. But while supporters say they are transforming photography and accessibility, others have labelled them ‘pervert glasses', with some UK pubs and restaurants, including Wetherspoons, banning the technology from their premises.

Derrière les célèbres lunettes Ray-Ban se cache un empire industriel de plusieurs dizaines de milliards d'euros. Quatre ans après la mort de son fondateur, Leonardo Del Vecchio, les héritiers d'EssilorLuxottica s'affrontent autour de la gouvernance du groupe. Une bataille familiale qui dépasse largement le secteur de l'optique et pourrait avoir des répercussions sur une partie de la finance italienne. Ray-Ban est l'une des marques les plus célèbres au monde. Popularisées notamment par Tom Cruise dans Top Gun, ces lunettes sont devenues une véritable icône. Mais derrière cette marque mythique se cache un gigantesque groupe européen : EssilorLuxottica. À l'origine de cet empire, l'entrepreneur italien Leonardo Del Vecchio. Tout au long de sa vie, l'homme d'affaires a construit méthodiquement Luxottica jusqu'à en faire le leader mondial de la lunette. Son intuition est simple: une paire de lunettes n'est pas seulement un objet destiné à corriger la vue, c'est aussi un accessoire de mode. Il rachète ainsi des marques prestigieuses comme Ray-Ban ou Oakley, signe des licences avec les plus grandes maisons de luxe et développe ses propres réseaux de distribution. Son objectif est clair: maîtriser toute la chaîne de valeur, de la conception des montures jusqu'au client final. En 2018, Luxottica franchit une nouvelle étape en fusionnant avec le Français Essilor, spécialiste mondial des verres correcteurs. Naît alors EssilorLuxottica, un mastodonte mondial de l'optique qui est aujourd'hui au cœur d'une bataille de succession. À lire aussiEn Italie, la plus vieille banque du monde, objet de toutes les convoitises Pourquoi les héritiers de Ray-Ban se déchirent-ils ? À la mort de Leonardo Del Vecchio, en 2022, sa fortune et le contrôle de la holding familiale, valorisée à près de 46 milliards d'euros, sont répartis à parts égales entre huit héritiers : ses six enfants, sa veuve et son beau-fils. Sur le papier, cette répartition paraît équitable. Dans les faits, elle complique fortement la gouvernance de l'entreprise. Avec seulement 12,5% du capital chacun, aucun héritier ne dispose d'une majorité. Toutes les décisions importantes nécessitent donc un consensus. Une situation que les spécialistes de la gouvernance résument simplement : lorsque tout le monde détient le même pouvoir, chacun possède en réalité un droit de veto. L'un des fils de Leonardo Del Vecchio souhaite aujourd'hui sortir de cette impasse. Son projet consiste à racheter les parts de son frère et de sa sœur pour un montant estimé à près de 10 milliards d'euros. S'il y parvient, il détiendrait 37,5% de la holding familiale. Il ne serait pas majoritaire, mais deviendrait de très loin le principal actionnaire, avec un poids suffisant pour orienter les décisions stratégiques du groupe. Mais ce plan se heurte à plusieurs obstacles. Réunir 10 milliards d'euros, même pour l'une des familles les plus riches d'Europe, est une opération complexe. Les banques impliquées réclament davantage de garanties et le conseil d'administration de la holding est lui-même divisé. Certains administrateurs refusent d'apporter leur soutien au projet, ce qui place aujourd'hui cette opération dans une impasse. À lire aussiDépart de Tim Cook d'Apple: quels risques pour une entreprise quand son dirigeant s'en va? Pourquoi cette succession dépasse largement le marché des lunettes Si cette affaire familiale est suivie de près par les investisseurs, c'est parce que la holding de la famille Del Vecchio ne contrôle pas uniquement EssilorLuxottica. Elle détient également des participations importantes dans plusieurs poids lourds de la finance italienne, comme les banques UniCredit et Monte dei Paschi ou encore l'assureur Generali. Au total, son portefeuille financier est estimé à environ 16 milliards d'euros. Autrement dit, lorsque les héritiers se disputent le contrôle de cette holding, ce ne sont pas seulement les lunettes Ray-Ban qui sont concernées. Cette bataille peut également avoir des conséquences sur la gouvernance de plusieurs grands établissements financiers italiens. Au-delà du cas Del Vecchio, cette succession illustre un défi auquel seront confrontées de nombreuses entreprises familiales dans les années à venir : celui de la transmission. Construire un empire est une chose. Le transmettre en est une autre. Et c'est parfois l'épreuve la plus difficile.

Lorcan Tadgh Murphy, who was earlier this month jailed for murdering US nurse Mackenzie Michalski in 2024 in Hungary, had obsessively tried to pick up women across various European cities. Police in Budapest discovered that he had used a “spy pen” to covertly record his attempts, just as he had done previously in Dublin, where 16 women were recorded without their knowledge.The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre has been concerned for some time at the increasing use of hidden cameras, smart glasses, pen cameras and other covert recording devices to secretly film women and girls without their knowledge or consent.And as smart glasses are becoming more mainstream – Meta has already sold an estimated 10 million pairs of their its stylish Ray-Ban camera-enabled glasses – concerns are growing.So if Murphy had been caught in Dublin in 2020 secretly filming women, would he have broken any law? Why do advocacy groups say these type of secret recordings are “often minimised as harmless”, but could in fact be “part of a path to future crime”? And what role do the makers of these devices, that could easily be used to secretly record, have in ensuring the public is protected?News reporter Ellen O'Riordan explores this fast-evolving debate.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

As an official sales partner for Ray-Ban Meta glasses, Best Buy is rethinking what it means to deliver experiential retail in the age of AI. This week on the Modern Retail Podcast, special projects editor Melissa Daniels sat down with Best Buy's executive vice president and chief revenue officer, Patrick McGinnis, to go behind the scenes into the development of the new 30-by-30-foot Meta AI shop-in-shops rolling out in select stores. It's the latest example of how Best Buy is looking to position itself as a destination for cutting-edge technology — and it's also a case study into how legacy retailers can rethink the store experience for new audiences. Best Buy plans to have 50 stores selling the new Ray-Ban Meta frames by the end of the year, with the hopes of increasing that to as many as 200 or more by the end of next year, McGinnis said. The company knows there's demand for people to check out the specs in person; its own survey data shows that more than 50% of Best Buy customers say they want to see the Meta glasses in person before making a purchase. And since the retailer first launched smaller displays in 100 stores last October, more than 175,000 customers have completed a demo in a Best Buy store. But beyond creating a destination for people to try out cutting-edge tech in person, the shop-in-shop provided an opportunity for Best Buy to revamp its store layout, McGinnis said. It aims to have more flexible space for experiential retail, including for more AI-powered products, on the horizon.

Daily Boost Podcast Bring Out Your Inner Renegade July 16, 2026 | Episode 5499 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description People hear me say I'm the nicest renegade you'll ever meet and get freaked out. My wife said she didn't know she married a renegade. She did. Today I explain it — with a little help from Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse, a quickly Googled definition, and my motorcycle gang of professional nice guys. Being a renegade isn't about being mean. It's about being nice until it's time not to be nice, defying convention when it counts, and knowing exactly which lines you never cross. Borrow it from me today. It might fit you better than you think. Featured Story My gang and I learned one of our core rules riding the Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina. Eleven miles, 318 turns, no guardrails, blind curves leaning the wrong way. It's a wicked road doing its best to kill you. Up there, the speed limit isn't the big deal. Go too fast, and you might get a ticket. We all go a little fast in life. But there's one rule you can never break: you don't cross the double yellow line. Cross it, and you're going to jail. I see life the same way. We never cross the double yellow line — unless not crossing it would kill us. Important Points Being a renegade isn't being mean. You take care of business, defy convention when it counts, and stay nice doing it. Show up as yourself and repeat it until people know exactly who you are. A name you actually live becomes your brand. Know your double yellow lines. Speeding earns a slap on the wrist, but some lines in life cost you everything. Memorable Quotes You be nice until it's time not to be nice. Nobody said be mean — there just comes a time to take care of business. Always be nice and be cool, and expect others to be the same. If you need cool, buy some Ray-Bans. You'll be awesome. We never cross the double yellow line unless not crossing it would kill us. Then you do what you've got to do. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by borrowing the renegade. Wrap it around yourself for one day and decide to be nice, cool, and unmistakably you. Then act on it today. Then set your rules of the road. Decide which lines are speeding tickets and which ones are double yellow lines. Finally, hold the code. Stay nice until it's time not to be nice, and only cross your line when survival demands it.

"Those who can't do are good hype men for others." This simple principle serves as the heartbeat for a life dedicated to authentic human depth. In a world optimized for digital efficiency and "frictionless" convenience, the true currency of a meaningful life remains the unscalable power of independent thought, presence, and intentional effort. In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Schembra explores the growing cultural movement of human connection, proactive resilience, and the universal language that unites us. Samantha Wolfson shares insights from her personal journey, including navigating a life-changing career evolution since moving to Amsterdam in 2017, executing intense top-tier tech launches at Wieden+Kennedy, and the long road to paying forward the lessons of grit and character learned from her father, Steven. Together, the conversation dives into how we show up for others, the power of surrounding ourselves with people who challenge us, and how leaning into creative outlets outside the boardroom can fundamentally alter our perspectives. 10 Memorable Quotes: "He is the reason I have become a pit bull in some areas and can be very soft in others because I see that is how he can both engage and react to the people around him." "Never did I think that could actually become such a quintessential part of my career." "I want every woman that's coming to not know each other. Just bring a bottle of wine and I will cook the food." "You don't have to trade a life that looks good on paper for a good life around the dinner table. It's an and, not or." "The moment you stop is when you'll fall into the trap of thinking you can do it all by yourself." "Growth starts at those points of like, 'Ooh, I don't know how I feel about that.'" "Who's at the table is as important as who's not at the table." "There's no value in what's been said. There's only value in what's being unsaid." "Community is the hardest thing to build because there is, for the most part, not crazy financial gain behind it."

About our Guest: Samantha (Sam) Wolfson is the founder of & the Table, a global dinner platform that brings ambitious women together around a shared meal. The platform operates on a distinct format: six women who have never met, three courses, one host-chosen theme, and a strict rule that everyone shows up completely alone. What began in 2022 as just five open spots at her Amsterdam apartment quickly went viral, drawing more than 500 applications in its very first open round. Today, & the Table has built a robust global presence, empowering more than 75 hosts in over 10 countries, spanning from Nigeria to Spain to Hungary. A Philadelphia native, Sam studied Media, Culture, and Communications at New York University before launching into the music industry, where she spent years on the road producing branded sponsorships for major music festivals across Mexico, Australia, and beyond as an account manager at LiveStyle, Inc. After falling for Amsterdam during a work trip, she relocated there permanently in 2017 and transitioned into advertising. She served as an Account Director at world-class agencies Wieden + Kennedy and TBWANEBOKO, leading global campaigns for heavyweights like Airbnb, Samsung, Ray-Ban, and Adidas. Before scaling & the Table into a full platform, she honed the concept as "Sam's Dinners"—her personal hosting practice designed to meet other women and build deep connections in a new city. Outside of her dinner platform, Sam is also the co-founder of the card game WHAT ARE THE ODDS, and frequently shares her insights as a speaker at events like the Self-Made Summit in the Netherlands. She currently lives in west Amsterdam with her partner and her dog.

Back in 2014, Google Glass made the dream of smart glasses a reality for the tech-obsessed. But a hefty price tag and divisive design prevented Google from bringing its vision to the masses. A decade later, Meta seemingly cracked the code, offering affordable, fashion-forward smart specs in frames by established brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley. WIRED senior gear editor Julian Chokkattu and staff writer Boone Ashworth join David to discuss whether Google's new Android XR platform, which the company debuted in May, can give Meta a run for its money. They'll also discuss some of the thorny ethical issues surrounding AI-powered frames and where the industry is headed next.

Lauren Harwell Godfrey is a jewelry designer and the founder of the brand Harwell Godfrey. But before she started her own jewelry brand, she began her career in advertising. Her advertising career spanned 15 years, working with clients like Adidas, Levi's, and Ray-Ban. However, she didn't feel artistically fulfilled and decided to enroll in culinary school. After graduating, she worked in Bay Area restaurants Chez Panisse and Bar Tartine. She also contributed to cookbooks and started her own vegan food blog. Ultimately, she decided that the culinary world was not the right fit and pivoted back to designing jewelry. She started making jewelry for herself and her friends before launching her fine jewelry brand in 2017. Today, she remains the sole designer, and her pieces have been worn by everyone from Kamala Harris to Rihanna.
