Oculus Rift owner here. I would absolutely love to watch my next hockey game from behind the glass at center ice via my Oculus Rift. This will be technologically feasible in the next 2-3 years and I think it will make for an incredibly comp

I assume they pursued those things but still wasn't enough? Otherwise how else were they trying to monetize?

Well I think a lot of subscription MMOs are already compromised by the fact that they have an incentive to keep you around paying. This makes for a lot of the 'level grind' you see in MMOs.

What about a world where you can Kickstart the open sourcing of this code? I'd be willing to pledge ~$1000 towards its release? Could you get ~50 other developers to pledge the same?

Though I am an avid gamer, I'm actually more excited for Xbox One to be a media center in my living room than a gaming console. I really like the fact that they have an HDMI-In so that you can plug your cable box into your Xbox and be

Took the survey, I too would be interested in seeing how other people fall in line and/or a breakdown of what Github/Apple looks like. Ideally though one should be able to switch between different styles. I take it that ObcClean o

I'd be interested in seeing if anyone has had success in getting OSX to run on a Chromebook. So far googling for "Chromebook hackintosh" doesn't look promising. The same way Apple has come out with its 'C' line

I currently use Parse but I could definitely benefit from not having to switch between Obj-C/Javascript(Parse Cloud Code) when writing my backend. As well it would be nice to copy/paste logic between client/server. However, I

What about a PAC that was funded similar to a kickstarter. So either you raise all the funds or not towards X goal? I had an idea like this for the common person to crowd source their funds and effectively buy back their government but not

This makes me wonder what the 'next big thing' will be after the internet. I watched this TedX Talk from Tomi Ahonen and I think he may be right in his 'mass media' perspective. 1st mass media: Print (500 years old) incl

I'd love to see some sort of crowd sourced solution for this system where Amazon offers up what it sees as the biggest technical/legal limitations and asks the internet for its solutions. So far in just the HN threads, I've r

I'd be upset to see drones banned from our airspace before we get to realize their full potential for good. If this happens I think in-home drone solutions could still provide very cool solutions. I'm sitting here on my couch and

I think the fractal analogy nails it. Haven't thought about it before but I realize I too use a heuristic of x2 or x3 when estimating my time. Nothing would stop me from getting a pen and paper out and stepping through the 'trail&

I think $100 is too aggressive a number and everyone seems to have fixated on that. I'm saying there is a number between $0 and $1,000,000 per call that will help reduce false positives and make the system more efficient. Maybe its $10

What about all the lives lost when it takes first responders up to 8 minutes to respond to a crime because of false positives? I really believe that this would be a more efficient system on the whole.

Well if the 911 system is already broken, maybe an app could try to fix it. I think the problem with calling 911 is that it is free when it should cost enough money to weed out the noise. If a call to 911 cost $100, how many people would be

I think a cool spin-off of this would be to create two robots that can duel each other. Either some sort of Rock 'Em Soc 'Em setup ( http://www.amazon.com/Rock-Em-Sock-ROBOTS-Game/dp/B00005BY8V ) or maybe
