Offtopic, but how do I read that title? Syntax error in my head. I get the "Goes to Trial" part, but "Carmack Rift Over Oculus"?

- charlieflowers 10y agoI think the wordplay is confusing you. Rift is the product name, but that's not how they're using it here. A "rift" is a disagreement. So the headline can be restated as "The disagreement related to Carmack about the Oculus goes to trial."
- de_Selby 10y agoIt's intentionally written like that - it's a play on the word rift and the "Oculous Rift"
- akjainaj 10y agoI'd blame the senseless title case that Americans use. If rift was lowercase, it would be easier to understand. "Carmack rift over Oculus goes to trial"
- tangus 10y agoEither: The rift over Oculus involving Carmack. Or: Carmack's rift over Oculus.
- sundvor 10y agoIt's a pun. :)
