Your characterization of VR applications seems limited to near-term applications of current or immediate-term technologies. What about when the device is $20 instead of $400? When it doesn't make you nauseous? When it's so close t

Why is what you want the only thing that is worth doing? What about the people who do care that their mom topped their previous score in [they care]Ville?

I've seen driverless cars driving, without human input, on city streets and highways in the Bay Area for over a year. You can't possibly call it vaporware just because it's not being sold immediately -- with the risks involve

There could be interesting applications of this. What if the doctors were all linked in a group through Facebook (this sounds unlikely, they have their own professional networking tools, but suspend disbelief for a moment). The patient is a

I don't understand this. I sure hope that this is because I lack the information, insight, or imagination to understand what's going on here, and not because this is a terrible outcome for Oculus technology.

Are you fully aware of what they offer? They have all kinds of well-known and arcane certifications, integrations with a few dozen products that are only relevant to large enterprises, a pretty big third-party ecosystem and the API to suppo

If you don't explain a business model (selling add-ons, advertising, freemium)... People will assume the most nefarious business model possible. I know how Facebook and Gmail and Dropbox make money. I'd need to know how you make m

Credibility or marketability? The publications only want pageviews. Articles like these get them, whether they end up being right or wrong.

Well, AirBnB allows listings that are illegal in the listing's jurisdiction, so their culpability not a cut-and-dried case. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1854409?checkin=03%2F26%2F2014&... If I had a website th

You'd probably charter a cargo airliner with armed security. And send maybe less than 25 tons of gold per flight.

The address in question is an extraordinarily expensive building. Also, if someone does something like clog a bathtub and leave it running, water damage or something similar can easily cause hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to any

You can buy insurance for absolutely anything you can think up (Mir space station hitting a target in the middle of the ocean). Of course it wouldn't be economical to build a custom insurance product for a one-night stay in an AirBnB,

Netflix has been on AWS for awhile, and I've never once had any stability or continuity problems with it. Whatever garbage is going on in the background, they've done a good job of preventing it from becoming a never-ending tax on

Does it matter? If Dropbox turned the lights out tomorrow, I wouldn't lose any data, my files would just stop syncing across machines. I'd just have to install a new file sync client and point it to my Dropbox folder. The barriers

Spotify is music rental, not music purchase. If you spend $120 on Spotify, you get to listen to thousands or tens of thousands of songs over that year. If you buy 10 albums, you get those albums but you didn't get to listen to anything

I'm pretty sure the "Internet access" idea is just a pleasant cover story for whatever other aerospace/UAV research projects Google and Facebook want to invest in.
