FB gets a lot of hate on HN, but I think this is a really important strategic deal for them. Consider: * No one really knows how wearables will play out yet * It is within the realm of possibility that as headsets get better (end goal: stylish), they will enter the mainstream. This means more content will be consumed there (cellphones are an obvious analogy) * FB pays to play in this space with a world class team which has shown an ability to produce and iterate on hardware in relatively short time. * This also gives FB more consumer h/w chops, something it will need as FB integrates with devices that are ever more personal in nature. It shows that FB is playing offense, working to invent the future, not just resting on its laurels.
