"Technology Doings" — Ben Thompson
Why this is in the vault
Weekly digest recapping the Jan 12 week: Vision Pro sports frustration, Apple/Gemini deal, Meta Compute, United CEO interview, plus Sharp Text on CBS News/Bari Weiss.
The core argument
Roundup issue. Three editorial picks: (1) United's tech-driven airline transformation, (2) Bari Weiss and the impossibility of reviving CBS News from within legacy media, (3) Apple's continued misunderstanding of what makes Vision Pro special. No new analysis.
Mapping against Ray Data Co
