Mike Gurman, a noted Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) analyst, spent a week with “Ray-Ban Stories” smart glasses from Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and has been left less than impressed. What Happened: Gurman used the latest edition of his newsletter to highlight a difference between the approach taken by Apple rivals — Facebook and Snapchat parent Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) — in the release of such eyewear missing augmented reality features.  “Apple could launch a pair of smart glasses without AR today. They’re not doing that, however — they’re going to wait until that technology is ready,” noted Gurman. “I just don’t see the point of this pre-augmented-reality era of smart glasses. That’s not specific to Facebook either: I feel the same way about similar offerings from Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Snap Inc,” wrote Gurman. See Also: How To Buy Apple (AAPL) Shares As per the analyst’s “math,” purchasing a pair of Ray-Bans plus earbuds costs the same as a single pair of Ray-Ban Stories and the functionality of the smart glasses is inferior to regular Ray-Bans plus AirPods plus phone camera combo. Why It Matters: Gurman also touched on the cumbersome process of transferring and sharing photos from the Ray-Ban Stories, which requires a…

OPINION: One of the most common questions I get asked when coaching clients is “How do I get more followers on social media?” and besides the very wrong, and completely pointless method of buying them, the answer is often: “With a lot of hard work.” Very occasionally you can get a lucky break, with a post or reel that gets shared by a big name brand, sending a flood of new followers your way. The key then is to keep them with content that continues to meet their needs.Plann/UnsplashBefore we start talking about how to get more followers, it’s really important to acknowledge that more followers doesn’t always mean more sales, or more success for your business. (File photo) As I’m not insta-famous (I’ve got around 1300 followers on Instagram), and I’ve never cracked the code on how to get huge follower growth, I was thrilled when Lucas O’Keefe agreed to come on my MAP IT marketing podcast and answer all my questions about how he has grown his account by over 150 thousand followers in a year. Before we start talking about how to get more followers, it’s really important to acknowledge that more followers doesn’t always mean more…

Featureflash Photo Agency/Shutterstock Entrepreneur, family woman, author, recipe extraordinaire, and queen of creative living are just some words to describe the one and only Martha Stewart, and that is without mentioning she is America's first female self-made billionaire (via Investopedia).  Martha Stewart is always a hot topic. From her five-month stint in jail (via NBC News) to her unlikely friendship with Snoop Dogg, Martha often finds herself amidst controversy. Whether you love her or love to hate her, one thing's for sure: Stewart offers outstanding home, garden, and recipe advice. No stranger to succulent recipes, Stewart sometimes snags a signature treat from another incredible chef and puts her own spin on it. A recent Instagram post has her followers going wild over a jarred white peach jam that, while made with peaches from her own orchard, is someone else's recipe. Stewart credits the originator, sharing in her caption, "We cut up ten pounds of these juicy and sweet fruits and followed my favorite French confiture maker, Christine Ferber, for her recipe of white peach jam with saffron." The domestic diva explains that using saffron in jam may "sound odd," but the finished product is "mouthwateringly excellent." Martha Stewart is a masterpiece chef…

Nagpur: The two alleged ATM breakers — Irfan Khan Pathan and Jamiruddin Shaikh — arrested a day ago by Wadi police were remanded to police custody till September 14 on Sunday, after being being produced before the court. The duo, nabbed following a dramatic chase by cops after being found trying to break an ATM in Waddhamna, wanted to break an ATM after watching similar videos on YouTube.

Company makes move for closer proximity to customers and partners as it enters go-to-market phase SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nyriad Inc. announced today it has relocated its global headquarters from New Zealand to the U.S. as it prepares to launch the industry's first storage solutions based on a new architecture that redefines how data is stored.
