the conclusion at the end of the article about the future of video games doesn't even mention VR. I fee video games are about to get their biggest boom ever with the advent of mainstream VR.

clicking the "Reader" button on safari, located to the right of the URL bar gives a similar view.
Re:The Future of Kinect on Monday June 09, 2014 @03:35AM (#7867389)
Too bad this future will be an afterthought now that the Kinect is not included with every system. Most devs will certainly prefer the 8% increase in processing power by disabling kinect in their game as opposed to adding a kinect feature that only some users might be able to enjoy.

The future of kinect is now going to be carried out on PC, can't wait to see what people cook up with the v2.

Kinect + Leap Motion + Oculus + Control VR gloves. This set up could deliver some serious immersion, at least in the aspect of accurately bringing the user's hands into a virtual space.

I thought Unreal was 1st in line? Why would the be on stage as the poster child for Metal yet not commit?

Contour camera performed fine when it was at its peak. But Go-Pro's marketing was just leagues ahead.

...If they're going to take a cut of your pay but not call you an employee then this is the biggest business loophole in history.
Re:Uber Rush on Monday April 07, 2014 @11:47PM (#7551331)
of course it is dangerous. but if you are employed by uber and get hurt "on the job" while carrying out their agenda, they should be responsible for your recovery.

seems impossible to find, at least last time I checked.
I think he's the guy who started it in the 1st place. Also brought the "like" function to the masses. Now he works mainly in VC.

I'm not sure if iOS users spend more time on apps vs Android, but there are lots of studies showing that iOS users spend significantly more money on apps/in apps than Android users.
This is written in a semi-sarcastic/ passive aggressive tone to get across the point of how safe their vehicles already are. Very cheeky of Elon and his team.
