   It really doesn't matter while the game companies as a whole have figured out that the best thing for their business is if the game is popular on Twitch equals a lot more sales. Once companies see streamer as hurting game sales that wo

   Second Life 2.0 doesn't sound very exciting to me. I really see VR as being a short hit and quit activity. Touring some place in VR in the classroom seems great but more than 10 minutes and most will quit whatever the activity is. I am

   I am still not sold on VR, but I feel that AR (Augmented Reality) really is the future. 1) AR seems to help in real world situations vs VR which actually makes you feel vulnerable due to lack of vision and impaired hearing of what is around

    I love League of Legends eSports. I feel like it is the new Basketball. 1) I like how accessible to the games are. I can watch them live or on VODs 2) I find the personalities of the players interesting with their reveries and team drama. 3

    And that is the barrier of entry to MOBA eSports. Also the reason why LOL is the number one eSport is because it is the number on game in the world. Not only that but it is the biggest video game the world has seen.

    Just like the Apple Now clone with no tie in with Apple ID (Not like other Companies) Also anti-competitive US Government will go nuts on them. I could see companies blocking iOS as a protest if ads were blocked by Safari. Edit for grammar.

    Bit Torrent might actually help as a tool to help distribute these large data sets. The big issue is that so few people actually would need to download these large dataset.

    That would help but the cost of storage for 11 TB and the up time to download would be extremely expensive. I haven't seen an option that works for less than around $200 to rent and setup.

    At 12 TB I think just getting the files would take days of downloading. I have 25 mbs which equals to 1041:40:00 (hh:mm:ss) That is 25 mbs perfect connection with no errors or drops. 1041 hours equals 43+ days. http://www.numion.
