That would be stupid of them as nowhere did it say that was even a possibility. As the article says, everyone got what it said on the tin. After they received their shirts and the dev kit, the kickstarter campaign was done. Period. The only

Bringing Google into this makes your comment especially funny. I would hit anybody over the head who would dare to say "Yeah, I hate Oculus now. If only they had gone with Google instead of Facebook" Really the pot calling the ket

No he doesn't. He oversimplifies things. You know what the money during the kickstarter campaign was for? The first DevKit! They raised money for the dev kit and guess what? The people you chipped in got their dev kits. As far as I can

You are basically everything that is wrong with consumers, today. A kneejerk reaction to something you cannot possibly see the end results of. And to even support Sonys dumbed down version of VR that has to run on this mid spec'ed PC t

Agreed. It was the same with Angry Birds. Original idea/gameplay? Nope. But, they put some serious thought into that project and it payed off. I have seen the predecessors of this game idea and they were not that polished. And they eve

I haven't checked on Android as a platform in quite a long time but it is amazing to see that things still are exactly where they were when I last checked. Android == Google == Free Software That still seems to be the basic idea many u

Yes, or , they are afraid that history will repeat itself yet again. -Consoles make inferior version of something that can be done so much better on PC. -People buy up the inferior version one cause they apparently have no problem with

I think this whole thing could have been prevented if only the tracking systems could not have been turned off manually. Why is that even possible? An oversight? If you think about just how many liberties we passengers had to give up after

Does Microsoft know just how quickly the average user closes a popup that they didn't expect? When you provide support for an average user and they want to demonstrate you what problem they have, you almost have to wrestle the mouse aw

He can't. There were more than one "How to" on MS homepage as to how to work around an issue until a fix was ready. Even for trivial stuff. Why? Cause in a a giant corporation, even a hotfix takes ages to get through all QA.

Interestingly enough, I just checked a system with Snow Leopard using Safari and Firefox and it seems that both do not have this vulnerability. I can't say when this was introduced, but if it is in Mavericks, it must have gotten there

That's what I don't get. If nothing will change for the users, then why did Facebook acquire them? Why did they bother? Just so that they can run statistics and include WhatsApps numbers in there as well because they now belong to

What I take away from this is that: a) Two Factor should be mandatory and as soon as it is, any representative of the company MUST insist that a reset cannot be done over the phone. It should be highly suspicious if someone comes up and say
