Oculus founder Palmer Luckey seems to have tried a prototype of Apple’s mixed-reality headset and proclaimed it “so good.” Malcolm Owen for AppleInsider: The Apple VR and AR headset has been long-rumored to be a high-quality take on the concept, with barely a hint of anyone outside of the company having actually tried it out. In a brief tweet, it seems one major name in the VR field may have seen or tried the device. The lack of extra detail and the brief message itself doesn’t necessarily mean that Luckey actually got hands-on time with the headset, nor does it confirm he was directly informed or saw the capabilities of the headset. However, his previous history in the field gives…

Macworld It’s never been easy to upgrade the storage in Macs, so it’s always a good idea to buy an external drive to provide extra storage for all your work files, photos, videos, and games.
