Robert Scoble believes Apple is going to wipe out the VR industry in September... By October Apple will have 250 million AR/VR (Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality) enabled devices in the marketplace... I believe that Apple will have a headset of its own, like Samsung Gear VR or Google Daydream and that the next iPhone will do both AR and VR and not the shitty VR that Daydream or GearVR do, but full blown six degrees of freedom VR... Because only Apple has the ability to convince everyday people to actually get excited by spatial technologies (AR and VR)... Because Apple will take away ALL PR oxygen from all the other VR players by Christmas... Because only Apple has the AI and sensor know how to completely transform the market. Google Tango only sold 100,000 units... Because Apple has the most profits and the best relationships with content producers (Hollywood and the music industry).

In economics, more precisely in contract theory, signalling (or signaling: see American and British English differences) is the idea that one party (termed the agent) credibly conveys some information about itself to another party (the principal). For example, in Michael Spence's job-market signalling model, (potential) employees send a signal about their ability level to the employer by acquiring certain education credentials. The informational value of the Credential comes from the fact that the employer assumes it is positively correlated with having greater ability. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_(economics) (more)

Empiricism is a theory that states that knowledge comes only or primarily from sensory experience.[1] Empiricism emphasizes the role of empirical evidence in the formation of ideas, over the idea of innate ideas or traditions;[2] empiricists may argue however that traditions (or customs) arise due to relations of previous sense experiences.[3] Empiricism in the philosophy of science emphasizes evidence, especially as discovered in experiments. It is a fundamental part of the Scientific Method that all hypotheses and theories must be tested against observations of the natural world rather than resting solely on a priori reasoning, intuition, or revelation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empiricism (more)

In epistemology, rationalism is the view that "regards reason as the chief source and test of knowledge"[1] or "any view appealing to reason as a source of knowledge or justification".[2] More formally, rationalism is defined as a methodology or a theory "in which the criterion of the truth is not sensory but intellectual and deductive".[3] In an old controversy, rationalism was opposed to Empiricism, where the rationalists believed that reality has an intrinsically logical structure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalism

Project Gutenberg (PG) is a volunteer effort to digitize and archive cultural works, to "encourage the creation and distribution of EBooks".[3] It was founded in 1971 by Michael S. Hart and is the oldest digital library.[4] Most of the items in its collection are the full texts of public domain books. The project tries to make these as free as possible, in long-lasting, open formats that can be used on almost any computer. As of 3 October 2015, Project Gutenberg reached 50,000 items in its collection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Gutenberg (more)

The global brain is a conceptualization of the worldwide network formed by all the people on this planet together with the information and communication technologies that connect them into an intelligent, Self Organizing system. As the Internet becomes faster, more intelligent, and more encompassing, it increasingly ties us together into a single information processing system, which functions like a Nervous System for the planet Earth. The intelligence of this network is collective or distributed: it is not centralized or localized in any particular individual, organization or computer system. It rather emerges from the dynamic networks of interactions between its components, a property typical of Complex Adaptive Systems. (more)
