As a huge fan of rap music in general, I think there are many songs which promote illegal activities.

Re:Oculus Rift Pre-Orders to Open on January 6 on Monday January 04, 2016 @01:33PM (#10837424)

Flight sim in the rift is what I spend the majority of my free time doing.

Not sure what type of flight sim you are into, but using a proper yoke, throttle, and rudder pedals makes the experience much more immersive.

The rise of SMS based apps is very real.

Re:Balanced Will Release an API to Push Money to Debit Cards on Wednesday January 22, 2014 @06:36PM (#7106143)

But international payouts, that would be huge!

Very cool. What made you open source it?

Also I remember it being a bit pricier to use the API. What made you to go down on price? I'm tempted to hook this up to my app right now.
