I think I've gotten at least 5 different notices in the mail from different companies (healthcare, kids school) that told me my info was involved in a breach. I figured some new law must have gotten passed because most companies woul

Unless it changes, I can't see it killing the iPad. VR is very isolating. You normally are using it alone somewhere and if you aren't, people can't really interact with you outside of the helmet. You can sit in a meeting wi
