As long as you reduce latency and improve tracking you won't be as pukey. Unfortunately, there is only so much you can do in software since most of the delay comes from refreshing the screen and getting the actual tracking information. You can be running at a high of a frequency as you want and won't see any improvements if you still have to wait on the hardware to provide data and display content.
It isn't the same project but there has been some back and forth between Carmack and the guy behind this device. Carmack has had some hands on time with earlier prototypes and they will be showing them off at QuakeCon but Carmack isn't focusing on a commercially viable VR solution as far as I know. Most of the stuff I have seen from him has been working to improve the technology by reducing latency as much as possible.
More than likely it is to add some GoogleTV functionality. It is pretty limited as it is. Merging the bits that it currently has into GoogleTV would make a lot of sense. It is a fully functional android device already, so this shouldn't be too difficult.
In the past you had twitter? I think the issue here is two-fold. Yes, people used to have more respect for one another. At the same time, there were those who thought these types of disrespectful things but they didn't have the guts / ability to actually confront the abused party. Digital communication has lowered that barrier, so pathetic little haters can spew this type of garbage and feel good about themselves without any fear of consequence. I don't know that having laws against mean tweets is the right way to do things, but there should be an ass kicking deployed in this specific situation.
"God particle" comes from Leon Lederman. He wanted to nickname the Higgs boson the "goddamn particle", but was blocked by his editor. So while it is annoying, it did come from a prominent physicist.
I thought some of the latest devices were packaged just fine. I attended I/O and the packaging for the devices they handed out gave me no troubles. I also thought it was designed fairly well. Maybe that is because I'm not one to watch videos of people opening boxes or to film myself doing the same.
The fact that we use the term "win" so often when talking about software patents shows how we really need to change how they are handled at the very least. If we could get it to the point were companies earned patents then it wouldn't be so bad.
Depending on your sample size and definition of major state, you could say that a defeated Napoleon prevents war. I get what Waltz is saying, but I don't know that his conclusion is valid. I think the major states have more modern ways of fighting than outright killing. A trade agreement or sanction can do about as much damage as a war, especially to the governing officials.
As long as the compiler for x86 works similar to the ARM one, it won't be bad at all. I've never had an issue doing cross platform C/C++. Also, you are making a big deal about an insignificant fragmentation problem. It is pretty obvious you haven't done android dev work.
2-300 pictures a day is a lot. I don't know about everybody else, but I actually try to enjoy myself on vacations. I'd rather not consume my time taking pictures every couple of minutes. Once you scale it back a bit, I think you will find that you don't need some complex setup.
AOL has moved on to purchase many popular websites in order to stay profitable. The Huffington Post, Engadget, Joystiq and many other major news blogs / websites are owned by AOL. They really are more than a dial-up ISP.
Hey now, I make good money convincing people that what I do is something mystical. I'm sure many others here do too. Don't go and ruin it for the rest of us.
I wasn't saying we should go without any form of entertainment. Instead, I was saying we should stop pursuing shows that are in a way held hostage by their providers. I think we are stuck in a cycle where the media industry sees people leaving so it ups the barrier to entry to try and recoup that "lost profit", meanwhile driving away more viewers. Piracy is not helping this knee-jerk reaction.
Ultimately, I would have liked us to get to an a la carte model for content but the FCC messed that one up by letting TV/internet providers also be content creators.

Yes, this is sarcasm, in case your detector is broken.
You could always print a new one.

You must be new here. On slashdot, editors don't actually edit anything. Instead, they just post whatever was submitted.
In other news, a representative from Chick-Fil-A has stated that the company does not support bone marrow transplants.
A particle is a piece of a thing.
So A God Particle would be A PIECE OF GOD.
Insert mentally-deficient worship here.
This may explain the obesity problem in America, especially in the midwest . People are trying to add a bit more God to their lives.

People voted for it.
Yes, because there is no piracy on iOS.

You mac users keep on drinking the kool aid.
It is actually Flavor Aid. It is a bit cheaper (so that we can still afford macs) and is also the trusted drink mix of cults since 1978.

If my toaster cost $3000, I think I'd have money to pay a toaster repairman.

As long as consuming it provides a nice coat inside my veins, I'm good with it.

/posted using a BSD-derivitive, the One True Modern OS! OS X!!
So, BSD (which predates the mid-90's by a bit) with more pretty colors and a much larger memory footprint? That OS X?

You could always not watch the shows. I like how going without entertainment from a broken industry is never an option.
If anything they just reminded everyone that we should switch to LCDs if we haven't yet.
