What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: The Verge.
Gloria VanceApple showed its reveal video this morning for the HomeView, a seven-inch square display for your home, and my guest says he saw it coming.
Gloria VanceIgnatius Vandersloot wrote The Wall Will Be Smart. Thanks for being here.
Ignatius VanderslootGloria, as I wrote in chapter four, the home would get a screen, and here it is, square, exactly as the book foretold.
Ignatius VanderslootI have a frame of the same size right here.
Gloria VanceBut you also predicted, two years ago, that nobody would want a screen in the kitchen. Which was it?
Ignatius VanderslootBoth. As I wrote in chapter seven, a thing can be inevitable and also unwanted. That is the whole thesis, and it is available now.
Gloria VanceBoth.
Ignatius VanderslootAs I wrote in chapter twelve, being right twice is simply a matter of printing early.
Ignatius VanderslootThe frame is a bonus, by the way, it comes free with the hardcover.
Gloria VanceI have been refused entry by three embassies, and none of them gave me a free frame.
Gloria VanceSo I will ask you plainly, did you predict the HomeView or did you predict its opposite?
Ignatius VanderslootAs I wrote in chapter nineteen, yes. Mostly yes.
Gloria VanceNineteen chapters, for a square. How long is the book?
Ignatius VanderslootAs I wrote in chapter twenty-one, it has twenty chapters.
