yeah,
even non-HNers aren't likely to want to use hardware tied to something called "Facebook View" to manage their photos (it actually doesn't sync photos with Facebook unless you specifically ask it to never mind having any means to display ads or inject viral videos and political content into your eyeballs, but if they need to explain that...)
- vidarh 3y agoIf they only optionally sync it's better than I thought - clearly they're explaining badly enough that even some articles I've seen about it didn't mention that was optional.

- cykotic 3y agoPeople don’t trust Facebook but still use Facebook. I believe given two equally good implementations of a product the one made by Facebook will be less popular. As it stands now Oculus is the only standalone VR device and people will use it despite being owned by Facebook.
- psd1 3y agoWhen I got my Oculus, it was half the price of the Vive. I always assumed that zuck is eating a loss to capture eyeballs.
