   Any VR sales are good for all of VR. We are still solving problems with making VR comfortable for people and locomotion etc. What encourages me about it, is some of best and brightest are working on the problems. Sure we have a lot of Demos

   I think it is funny/sad that almost every comment online or in person, I find myself feeling I need to add "and I don't like Trump" or equivalent qualifiers, for fear of negative bias in interpretation of any statement I

   I upvoted you, since I think it's a fair question :) I may be miss reading it, but it is probably not meant to be condescending - They are noticing someone's behavior and use a commonly understood proverbial phrase or idiom to des

   This is exactly the kind of partisan talk that leads to infighting, like Oculus vs Vive... Every Republican knows the Vive is better.

    Gah! I can't get a conversation to stay connected. So many cool people I would love to keep talking to. Is there an alternative that is not getting HN hugged?

    As augmented reality takes of, and machine learning databases gather tons of data with the help of mini radar and devices like project tango, computer sensing is really going to far surpass human bounds faster than we realize or have plans

    You are not alone, I have two good friends that still have theirs too, and nothing will ever be good enough for them again. That phone spoiled them, and is the direction they wish phones went. Alas, they have gone the way of the masses inst

    Yes, this is the pain point of things like this. It really will (most likely) take someone branching it off into a paid product to advance it faster (or) a very large amount of people getting involved. Traditionally these things grow slowly

    I agree, been using mint linux (Debian based, borrows some "just works" stuff from Ubuntu) plus the Cinnamon Desktop, is a dream, on high end hardware or not. I will concede though, most people coming from iOS/Mac will want s

    They can't really get in and scrub these, because people are watching them now, so upside, some poor sap isn't having to go in and do a ton of cleanup work, downside is there are a lot of potential honeypots now.

    I regret clicking on this thread on a Monday morning. But to echo what you said, I wish I had hung out with my dad more when he was alive. Things happen, spend time with your loved ones while you have them.
