Currently the Rift does not do positional tracking. So, in other words, the Rift can't tell when you move your head in space forwards or backwards. The quality of tracking up/down/left/right is good enough right now.

Weird -- today my 68 year old mother asked me if I had heard of it and that she loved it. She mentioned it was great for foodie sites. The compete numbers may be exaggerated but it seems to strike a chord across a broad audience.

There is certainly a ton of press around this coming from several reputable media outlets for months. Google for 'yelp extortion'. So you shouldn't be surprised. This is a real problem for them. At minimum, here is a documented case of

You'll just adding more long stats and pushing more metadata into cache if you add another directory level. You should look probably into a Haystack-like approach where you have a single file blob (or several large blobs) and then maintai
