I'm trying to think if there's anyone else that's doing something similar. I remember a while back I was really impressed by "NLee the Engineer"'s reviews[1] on lights/batteries. There's also a review

The Band isn't "useless", but it's more of an activity/lifestyle level fitness tracker. I don't know why anything would have convinced you otherwise. Of the continuous HR tracking general-purpose devices, Band

I've been interested in activity trackers for a while and got a MS Band v1 pretty early on. Over the past year MS has been releasing more SDK/API access, which has been great to see: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vi

I'll also add that there is an editor that I think basically is the "holy grail": * super fast/responsive * inline/contextual UI * automatic transmogrification ( s to ULs, ``` for code blocks, etc) annotations *

I think @jhchen does a good job summarizing about why tables are hard. If you absolutely need table support, Froala[1] is the only relatively modern/complete editor I've come across w/ decent table editing, but it's not

You can order a new Z here: http://us.vaio.com/ As a pleasant surprise, it still has a built-in RJ45.

The reason the narrow FOV is important is because right now, the FOV is so small that you can't see a person's hands and face simultaneously at a comfortable conversation distance. There's a huge number of applications where

I don't believe the device demo experiences themselves were under NDA, however recording devices had been restricted. Oliver Kreylos did a great writeup a while back on measuring the FOV: http://doc-ok.org/?p=1274

The GearVR actually has a fair amount higher resolution (and arc-resolution) than the first-gen wired headsets. It also has a bit more SDE and lower FOV so there's a trade-off. In terms of rendering pipeline, even w/ the latest Ga

This is a new version and the first non-"Innovator Edition" (read: enthusiasts/devs) - the big deal I think is that presumably as a true consumer product, it'll be getting a lot more distribution, and moving forward will

In a few months you'll be able to easily try the consumer Rift, the HTC Vive and see for yourself how convincing the VR is. I think you might be pleasantly surprised. While the road toward "perfect" VR is just getting started

This is an interesting take on things w/ a lot of merit, but I think Vox actually summed it up better here w/ a short video and a longer article: http://www.vox.com/2015/6/30/8867939/greece-econ

While this may be true for high fidelity gaming, for moving some textured triangles around, mobile GPUs are fine. Also, they can (and do) perform much better clock-for-clock vs a PC (and especially a Mac) thanks to the ability to optimize d

From what I've seen the weirder reaction w/ people wearing GearVR on planes is when they are interacting w/ them through the pass-through camera, since people expect them the HMD users to be oblivious to the world.
