Episode notes

The virtual persona is kind of an idealized representation of you. You can look better in your persona than you do in your real life where your hair is not combed and you're wearing an undershirt with stains on it or whatever. But so far, Apple has not wanted to touch that. They give you the ability to look kind of silly and to be a penguin or a camel. The limitation is people can't see your real face. That's a bummer and it excludes a lot of things where people will want to see your face. Let people use this amazing technology you have to let people present themselves as something different than they are.
