On This Day

The Long March Commenced

On October 16, 1934, the embattled Chinese Communists break through Nationalist enemy lines and begin an epic flight from their encircled headquarters in southwest China. Known as Ch’ang Cheng—the “Long March”—the retreat lasted 368 days and covered 6,000 miles, more than twice the distance from New York to San Francisco.

Poll Of the Week

If Apple dropped its Vision Pro from $3,500 to $2,000, would it catch your eye?

Apple’s Vision Pro may not have dominated the market at its $3,500 price, but reports expect a $2,000 version could launch next year with fewer features and cheaper materials. Would this price drop make it more appealing to you?

Absolutely, $2,000 is more reasonable!
No, it’s still too expensive.
Don't care about mixed reality headsets, no matter the price.
Not sure. I need to see more information.
