John Carmack: My Steve Jobs Stories

I doubt Carmack could be pressured into using a particular platform, but either way it's a bit of a disappointment to see a living legend use common FB as a platform for blogging.

Imagine getting the latest fascicle of TAOCP from a popular social platform instead of http://www.cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/

It reminds me of a joke comic that praises "Don Knuth's Big Dummies Guide to Visual Basic", "All practical examples you can use! No theoretical stuff! --Don"

It's not quite "DOOM's John Carmack's latest l33test Farmville hacks and tricks," but it's a little closer than I'd like it to be.

Linus Torvalds blogs (or at least used to) on G+.

From a great height the differences between things at the lower height become insubstantial and meaningless.

While it's a disappointment, it's understandable. Oculus is a subsidiary of Facebook.
