because for every individual that finds it creepy and annoying there are a thousand that think it is awesome they are reconnecting with family they didn't know they had.
And it's entirely likely that nobody at Facebook has more than a theoretical slight idea as to how their data mining connected the dots. One thing that comes from big data strategy is that you no longer ask why. At least not at first. You only find the connections and make use of them.
JC pushed and pushed Zenimax to get into VR and they turned up their nose to the ideas and JC worked some on the side (using sensor fusion work he did at armadillo aerospace and a shader that could correct for lens distortion, and some porting work on Doom3)
Zenimax wanted nothing to do with VR but JC really liked it so he left and joined a company that got bought up for really big money. Zenimax got $$ in their eyes and started digging for anything they could pin on the people involved.
It was found in the court case that the Doom3 code was used as a demo without permission and that JC had reimplemented (non-litteral copying) the shader code for use at occulus.
They also found, it seems correctly, that there was a demo of a headset JC worked on with Palmer Luckey to execs at Facebook that prompted the buyout.
No patents this was copyright lawsuit. The very specific BS part is that Zenimax convinced a jury that "Non-litteral copying" was a thing. And that although no code was cut and pasted into anything Oculus has, the fact that he had originally written the code and had access to it that now anything he writes similar to it is also copyright infringement.
so 16 years ago then, or 24...no 28 or was it 36 crap I think I'm getting to old to care about this crap. Same shit different face. I've decided I don't even care if Trump wins.
strange the one he pointed out saying it had no use I thought sounded quite useful. I often have trouble getting to a nut or bolt well with an adjustable wrench because there isn't enough swing room or visibility. It would be nice to look at the wrench and say, Ahh I need a 3/8ths box end or socket to do this much easier.
It's called survival bias, came up recently in that someone was complaining about catering to nut allergy people and said see what happens now there's a lot of people with nut allergies. I said, "Yea, it sure would have been better if they just died off as children." sarcastically.
The Samsung GearVR with it's additional IMUs is an order of magnitude better the Cardboard, the Rift and Vive with positional tracking and room scale is another order over that.

More likely the would be homeless if not for the dependency on government.
Yea, I really don't need bloat like a switch to turn off audio. Is there a config option to not compile that in?
There's always someone:

You really think a trivia quiz would solve all the problems with politics?
guess you never played Civ III?
How does moving into a home near a military airport require you to enjoy noisy airplanes flying low over your new home?
Not only that question, but he wasn't expressing an opinion about the fly overs, only that the parent poster should observe them.
You, good sir, are an asshole.

It's a pretty scary case really.
or not have a job, not have enough to afford food, and just die.
The one that makes us the most money.
I think you are confusing capitalism with actual free market. This is capitalism using the government to force their market on people.
I feel the same way, except I want to witness the disappointment of his detractors when the country actually does just fine.
more often than not these days, not upgrading breaks things.
You sure seem to be eating up that propaganda by the mouth full. gesh!!
Plus the shear bulk of false or bad intel that clouds the credibility of the one that finally actually happens.

Was that phone traded across state lines? If not, Are Apples phones ever traded across state lines? It has precedent.

Of course we could, if we wanted to live at the same means of the average person of Keynes time.
Don't be silly, it's being invested into automation where there is almost no pay out, yet a large amount of pay back.
The Samsung GearVR with it's additional IMUs is an order of magnitude better the Cardboard, the Rift and Vive with positional tracking and room scale is another order over that.
VR has a very bright future in 2016.
