Yahoo12-03-2025
Metallica will be seriously in your face come this Friday (March 14). The heavy metal legends announced on Tuesday (March 11) that their 2024 Mexico City show has been optimized as an immersive experience on the Apple Vision Pro headset. The concert featuring such beloved hits as 'Enter Sandman,' 'One' and 'Whiplash' will be beamed into the VR headsets beginning on Friday.
The film was shot during the band's sold-out Sept. 29 finale of their two-year M72 World Tour at Mexico City's Estadio GNP Seguros. 'With Metallica on Apple Vision Pro, you feel like you're right there: front row, backstage, and even on stage with one of the biggest bands of all time,' said Apple vp of marketing communications Tor Myhren according to the Associated Press.

The footage of singer James Hetfield, guitarist Kirk Hammett, drummer Lars Ulrich and bassist Robert Trujillo was filmed in high-resolution, 180-degree video and immersive spatial audio, with Apple building a custom stage layout for the shoot featuring 14 immersive video cameras. If you don't already own one of the $3,500 Pro headsets, you can preview a demo of the footage from 'Whiplash' on a headset at your local Apple store; an accompanying M72 World Tour: Mexico City EP will be available in Spatial Audio on Friday as well.
Ulrich discussed the VR experience during a chat with Apple Music's Zane Lowe at SXSW this week, saying that it was, 'Pretty overwhelming. Sort of surreal. You still get, to this day, self-conscious. 'Really, that's what I look like when I drum? What's with the tongue and all the silly faces?'… When we were having the conversation about doing it and understanding the technology and the possibilities, understanding the cameras and all of it… we were trying on the Vision Pros and looking at these sporting events and the nature things and so on. It's f–king insanity. And then seeing a Metallica concert like that.'
The Metallica gig is the latest Vision Pro music exclusive, following on the heels of events featuring Alicia Keys, RAYE and The Weeknd, as well the recently announced Stories of Surrender from U2 singer Bono, which will premiere on the headset on May 30.

Apple beta season is here

Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 91, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you're new here, welcome, how is summer more than a month over already, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This week, I'm pondering the leaked Pixel 10 lineup, marveling at BYD's leaping Yangwang U9 supercar, reading about why everyone's reading Reddit, already looking forward to Ted Lasso's fourth season, rewatching MKBHD's videos about the Escobar folding phone, melting with joy at the new Pokémon Concierge season 2 trailer, dreaming of buying the Lego Game Boy but not actually doing so because my toddler would destroy it, and listening to Lucius' recently released self-titled album. I also have for you some new betas from Apple, a retro-styled PC, some thoughts about cases, and how to play Dance Dance Revolution at home today. (As always, the best part of Installer is your ideas and tips. What do you want to know more about? What awesome tricks do you know that everyone else should? What app should everyone be using? Tell me everything: installer@ And if you know someone else who might enjoy Installer, forward it to them and tell them to subscribe here.) Thanks to everyone who replied to my quandary about whether or not I should keep using a phone case. There were a bunch of great perspectives and feelings, so I'm sharing a few of them here in the newsletter — a lot more people go caseless than I expected! As for my own decision? Well, I haven't reached one yet, and honestly, I may never pick one lane. Typically, my iPhone 16 Pro lives in this slim Torras case, but as I write this, it's sitting on top of the case, not in it. Will I put the case on before I walk out the door? We'll see! 'I, too, felt the urge to go caseless. I'm pretty careful with my electronics, so I still didn't love the idea of setting my phone down on tables and things alike. I got the magnetic back from Nomad, and it has felt like the perfect meet-in-the-middle accessory for me! Phone feels almost caseless, and I still get the back protection.' – Omesh 'I am totally the same with cases. I know I'll drop it once a year and totally ruin the thing and I hate that. What I do is take the case off when I'm just chilling at my desk or couch or chair. That way I get the joy of the smooth phone, but when I am in danger of dropping it on concrete or getting out of my truck, I have the protection it needs.' – Travis 'I ran my first gen Pixel Fold without a case (while living in a beachy resort town) for two years! If the Fold can survive it, so can a 16 Pro. The Fold is still alive and well as a secondary device/backup phone. Of course, it's definitely not pristine, so if you don't want your phone to bear its scars, you should probably keep a case on it.' – John 'I have the Peak Design GNAR case. Saw some complaints online about the protection being too minimal for the front of the phone, but it's been solid for me. Does well being outdoors (I run outside all the time). I'm rocking no screen protector.' – airwr3ck6669 'I never used cases until I got my current phone (Pixel 6A) because the Razer Kishi controller I used no longer fit snuggly around it, so I found a case that allowed it to fit again. I would say the case would eventually come off, but I only realized as I was reading this article that even though I no longer use that controller, I hadn't thought to take the case off.' – xPutNameHerex Today, I'm featuring Keith Broni, the editor-in-chief of Emojipedia. I thought of reaching out to him for this section after World Emoji Day on July 17th (the date shown on the calendar emoji), and he graciously replied. He initially got involved with the site in 2018 and took on increasing responsibilities 'over the years' before taking the editor-in-chief job in 2022. In addition to everything about his homescreen, I wanted to know what he's looking forward to in the world of emoji. 'I'm excited to see what the next unexpected emoji repurposing meme is going to be, especially as Gen Alpha becomes more and more online,' he tells me, like how Millennials repurposed the Eggplant and Peach and how Gen Z repurposed the Skull. Emoji fascinate me — full disclosure, I submitted proposals that helped bring the Saluting Face, Bubbles, Waffle, and Yawning Face emoji into the world — so I'm to share more of the emoji universe with Installer readers. Here's Keith's homescreen and his explanation of what's on it. The phone: Google Pixel 6. Like Molly last week, I'm an 'until the wheels fall off' type of person when it comes to my personal phone, though I use an iPhone 15 Pro for work. The wallpaper: A 2019 picture of me (I'm in all black, bar the white soles of my sneakers) wandering the grounds of the Zōjō-ji Temple in Tokyo, with the Tokyo Tower looming in the background. The apps: I also asked Keith to share a few things he's into right now. Here's what he said: Here's what the Installer community is into this week. I want to know what you're into right now as well! Email installer@ with your recommendations for anything and everything, and we'll feature some of our favorites here every week. For even more great recommendations, check out the replies to this post on The Verge, this post on Threads, and this post on Bluesky. 'I use Outplay on my Apple Watch to track the soccer matches I play. It shows a heat map of my movement during a match and has metrics specific to playing soccer like sprints. It works better for me than using the built-in Apple Workout app or Strava.' – Harry Tequila 'Been playing the macOS version of Cyberpunk 2077 on a base M4 Mac Mini. I am impressed with the game and graphic quality of this version. Just hoping this is the start for more Mac-native versions of A & S tier games.' – penguinchiller 'I just completed the (not so) Endless Tower in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and beat Clea... on an MSI Claw 8 with an Intel chip! Didn't expect that after panning the first Claw. It's the only handheld I've really enjoyed this game on so far!' – Sean 'I've become obsessed with the Twos app and using it constantly. Highly recommend!' – Rich 'After steadfastly avoiding it because of its difficulty, I recently purchased and have been dying over and over again in Returnal. The environment really does feel like a hostile alien planet, and with headphones it feels like I can hear every drop of rain. And yeah, it's really difficult.' – Aram 'Been playing Lushfoil Photography Sim and it is so relaxing and lovely.' – Allison 'I've been binging CityNerd on YouTube. The channel discusses cities, transportation, urban design, walkability, etc. Good stuff.' – low_light_mixes Last week, I included a tidbit from a reader who has been playing Dance Dance Revolution recently. As someone who played a lot of DDR when I was a kid ('Butterfly,' anyone?), I was curious to learn more about how he does it. Here's some of what the reader, Tom, told me — he also pointed me to a starter guide on Reddit: 'I'll start with acknowledging I am fully not an expert in the scene, but spent a lot of time in the local arcade and at home playing on a PS2 when I was growing up. 'I grabbed the Deluxe 1-inch thick foam pad from along with the extension cord and the preloaded Stepmania Flash drive. Stepmania is the open-source clone of DDR. People make their own stepcharts (the arrows that scroll up during a song) and make custom songs that you can download and load in, as well as songs from the actual DDR games. 'Someone who is really into playing may want to eventually invest in a metal pad, like what's in the arcades. They're super sturdy and will last for years of use, whereas soft mats could potentially tear over time. There are many manufacturers out there, and the price range is usually from $400 and up for the metal pads. People even buy old arcade cabinets for thousands of dollars and have them in their home.'

You're more likely to win Powerball 100 times than do what this California mom did

An Apple Valley mother just went 4 for 4 on her kids all being born on the date 7/7. Just before Nauzhae Drake, now 26, delivered her firstborn, she called her mother while driving to school. She told her that she saw a license plate that ended in four sevens — her lucky number. Drake's mom took it as a sign. "She was like, 'Yep, that's because he's coming on that day'," Drake said. "And I'm like, no, he's not." But on July 7, 2019, Drake delivered her oldest, Kewan. Two years later, on the same date, she delivered Na'Zaiyla. And in 2022, on the same date, she delivered Khalan. And about two weeks ago, on July 7, Drake delivered a baby boy, Kailowa. None of her babies were induced and none of them arrived on their due date. Drake feels that it's a "sign from God at this point," she said. Drake is currently in nursing school, graduating in December. She said she went through all of her clinical rotations carrying Kailowa. "They're telling me to stop doing this and that because I'm doing a lot, they're like, 'you're going to make yourself go into labor,' " Drake said. "But I ended up finishing all of my clinicals and all of that, and I'm like, 'I'm still pregnant!'" Some mothers have tactics for inducing labor — eating spicy food, exercising, driving down a bumpy road. For Drake, decorating for her kids' birthday party seems to do the trick. "I would be doing a balloon arch," she said. "And every time I do the balloon arch, like two hours later, when I lay down, my water breaks or I start having contractions." Drake usually goes all out for her kids' birthdays, renting an Airbnb home with a pool and throwing a big party, along with visits to amusement parks like Sesame Place, SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo. This year's birthday party was circus-themed, but it didn't go as planned. "My mother, my grandmother actually was in the delivery room with me and they had on like clown suits because they were ready for the party," Drake said. "And I was ready for the party too, until I went into labor." Some kids get jealous when a sibling's birthday rolls around and all the attention turns to the birthday child. Drake said her kids love sharing a birthday, and they're especially excited for this year's present, another sibling. "They fight over him already," she said, of Kailowa. "They're so helpful. It's been amazing." So what are the odds of something like this happening? According to Randall Swift, chairman of the math department at California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, you are more likely to win the Powerball lottery 100 times than to have four children born on the same date. Instead of four siblings, he calculated using an instance of four independent individuals at a grocery store. The probability of these random strangers all having the same birthday is about 0.000000000056349%, he said. But he said these odds may be higher for a mother giving birth on the same date, depending on personal habits and health patterns. But to Drake, this coincidence is a blessing, she said. Seven has always been Drake's favorite number, but it has a new meaning to her now. "It's perfection, completion," she said.

CC Sabathia and his family have a bumpy ride to Cooperstown

Associated Press COOPERSTOWN, NY (AP) — For CC Sabathia, getting elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame was much easier than actually getting to the Hall of Fame. Sabathia, whose career spanned 19 seasons with the Cleveland Indians, Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees, was voted in on his first year of eligibility. Getting to Cooperstown for Hall of Fame weekend activities to be capped by his induction Sunday proved a tad more difficult. 'It was an adventure,' Sabathia said Saturday. Sabathia, wife Amber and their four children left their Alpine, New Jersey, home at about 4 p.m. Thursday. They traveled in two vehicles as is their family custom and were about 75 miles (120 kilometers) into their 177-mile trip when things got interesting. 'We stopped to get food. Everything's going great,' Sabathia said. 'We tried to get on the on-ramp on (Route) 17 and the car just stopped. I was behind her (Amber). Most of the time when we're driving, I'm gone. I'm never driving behind her, but for some reason I was taking my time riding behind her.' Sabathia had a clear view of what was happening. They called for assistance. The family piled into Sabathia's car and returned home to grab another vehicle as a tow truck towed their broken-down Escalade back to Alpine. The Sabathias arrived in Cooperstown at about midnight. What should have been a drive of about three hours became an eight-hour journey. 'It was pretty funny. I was taking pictures. My kids were doing TikToks and Amber was in the back like the super serious person she is getting everything done,' Sabathia said. 'People were honking at us and recognizing us on the side of the road. It was fun for us. 'For her it was a nightmare.' The Sabathias, including Amber, will certainly be all smiles Sunday. ___ AP MLB: recommended Item 1 of 2 in this topic
