I have been very busy the last few days and just realize it looks like I got a shout out Tweet from Rony Abovit, the CEO of Magic Leap. On the evening of Dec. 8th, 2016 he wrote, “To a few of the grumpy mouse tech blogger writers: you too will get to play the real thing when we ship.” As far as I am aware, I’m the only “tech blogger” that has been critical of what Magic Leap is doing and on the off-chance that Mr. Abovit did not know of my blog before, it was the only tech blog that was critical of Magic Leap cited in the “The Information” Article by Reed Albergotti that appeared on the 8th.

Mr. Albergotti is an writer for a legitimate news source and not a blogger. Maybe Mr. Abovit was trying to put him down as a “mere blogger” or was his petulant way to try and put down both of us.

In any event, is this the right way for a CEO who has raised $1.4B to strike back at writers he disagreed with?  Why can’t he be specific about with  whom and what he disagrees?  The best he could muster is an ad hominem attack and a bunch of unverifiable whistling in the dark tweets.

I’ve been laying out my proof in this blog. I was only trying to answer the question, “what is Magic Leap doing?” because as I knew that almost all the existing writing about Magic leap was doing was wrong and I thought it would be a fun to be the first to solve the puzzle. If I figured out they were doing something great, I would have reported it. But what I found as I studied the patents, technical material and the released Magic Leap’s videos combined my technical experience in the field, their whole technical story related to the display started to unravel.
