   As a twenty-something who grew up and lived in different parts of California, I actually think this one of the best places to live. If I had the money, I would totally buy a house here. San Diego would be next on my list.

    I got a chance to try out the Gear VR last week, and I was pretty sold on the whole VR thing. But I was really disappointed to find out the Rift required a $1000+ dedicated gaming rig to support it. IMO if Oculus Rift wants to really take o

    I think what you're talking about is tolerance, which is going to be different for everyone. The same could be said about being on a roller-coaster for several hours.

    I used to use Meteor a lot. However, I ran into problems with Meteor eating up lot's of memory for a very trivial app. Maybe things have improved now, but I prefer to work without the magic.
